ANDY ROBERTS
with DAVE RICHARDS, JOHN PEARSON, BOB SARGEANT, plus JOHN PORTER
Folk singer-songwriter and guitarist Roberts’ solo achievements have been overshadowed
by his work on recordings by other artists. He first came to public attention after meeting
BBC disc jockey John Peel in 1967. During this period Roberts accompanied the Scaffold
before going on to join the Liverpool Scene in 1968.
He recorded his highly acclaimed solo debut Home Grown while still a member
of the Liverpool Scene. Initially released on RCA Records in 1970,
the album was reissued in shortened form by B&C Records the following year

In the early '70s, the Ampex label was marketing the work of Andy Roberts in a most confusing
and somewhat misleading way. When they issued his early-'70s LP Home Grown,
it actually combined tracks from two previous editions of the album with others that
appeared on his second proper solo record, Nina and the Dream Tree.
And although Andy Roberts With Everyone was simply credited as a self-titled LP by Everyone
in his native United Kingdom, the reworked title on Ampex implied that it was a Roberts album,
rather than an album by the group Everyone. Whatever the billing, Andy Roberts With Everyone
really isn't an Andy Roberts solo album; it's a band endeavor by Everyone, with Roberts
only writing half of the eight songs, most of the other material coming from keyboardist
Bob Sargeant. It's a curiously at-odds-with-itself work, low-key easygoing early-'70s rock
sharing space with a couple of Sargeant-dominated efforts that verge on bombastic boogie-prog rock.
The Roberts tunes are likable in a mild way...(AllMusic)
