Black And Blonde was a local band from Illinois, and for the Chicago fans who may not remember that name, one of
Black And Blonde's band members (Cliff Johnson) may be familiar. No? The band he was from was definitely - Off Broadway.
Their biggest hit was "Stay In Time" (1979), from their debut album, On. Off Broadway recorded a total of
four studio albums (1979-1998). Local Chicago radio stations (especially The Loop FM 98) was playing "Stay In Time'
very heavily. (Another local Illinois band that The Loop heavily played, was The Kind's "Loved By You."
In 1992, Cliff Johnson was the only original band member to form Black And Blonde. Just In Time was released in
1992.
The album begins with that Off Broadway hit, "Stay In Time," Black And Blonde version. (The original version
will always be the better of the two, and bring back memories of this song for those who remembered it.) "Desire"
is definitely a rocking song, and could have been another huge hit for Chicago music fans. The title track ("Just In
Time" is next, and this one slows down the pace, in a very good way. It's another good track. "Light Up The
Night" is another good and upbeat track, it's another good Rock track. Likewise, "Rattlesnake Shake" keeps
the groove going. Ending the album, is "Lovesmith," another great Rock track.
Black And Blonde's Just In Time is quite good, and you wished that there were more songs (there were only six).
Off Broadway's hit "Stay In Time" was truly a great song, and many may not remember it, across the U.S. Chicago
fans knew how great that song was, for those who remembered it. And Black And Blonde's version of it is a reminder for
those who did remember it, and for those to discover it, for the first time. Again, Just In Time could have
easily had more than six tracks, but for them, it's a very good album to listen to, especially for the local Chicago
music fans. Although Off Broadway had a total of four albums, "Stay In Time" will always be their best
remembered song. And speaking of that great hit, the album it was from, On will be reviewed at a later date.
