AllMusic Review by Joe Viglione  [-]

In some critic circles one hears Bob Segarini over and over again. And in other critic circles the word is, "What is the big deal about Bob Segarini? Perhaps some of the overhype can be traced to Bomp magazine editor Greg Shaw who -- in the liner notes to 1973's Dudes album on CBS -- goes overboard in his praise. There is a great composition on this self titled album by Roxy, and that is "Yesterday's Song," a pretty, eerie, moody, well sung, well constructed, well performed piece of music surrounded by other well-performed tunes.  The verdict on Bob Segarini is that he has a voice that you feel you've heard before, maybe David Crosby meets Country Joe by way of Doug Sahm. "Rock & Roll Circus" is fun.  The album cover is late-'60s kitsch with a clown face, a mask and rainbows. The back photo with the combo British and California clothing styles and the deer-in-headlights photo of the band gives them a Blues Magoos meets Meet the Beatles. And where image was supposed to play such a pivotal role in their quest for world domination, who did have the image were the fellows in Roxy Music, or Nick Gilder, when he was in Sweeny Todd and had the minor minor hit "Roxy Roller." What Roxy needed to do was to pull a Stories and run off with someone else's hit single. As Ian Lloyd absconded with a Hot Chocolate hit, Segarini needed to invade Nick Gilder's space. Is Roxy an important album? It's a decent record by a decent group and for all the hype, songs like Randy Bishop's "I Got My Friends" or Segarini's "Love, Love, Love," "New York City," "Somebody Told You," "You Got a Lot of Style," etc., are revelations, well performed and well constructed music.
