Time's Getting Tougher Than Tough (Bluesology 1965)

Bluesology 1965 with Reg Dwight (Elton John) on piano. This song was the B-side to the Bluesology single "Come Back Baby", which was written & sung by Reg Dwight, who later became Elton John. "Time's Getting Tougher" is a classic blues number, more representative of what the band played regularly actually, and featured Stuart Brown on vocals. The 18-year-old Elton played a great blues piano!

I played this one with Long John Baldry, from 86-93, interesting hearing it with Reg on piano, great playing.

@Seattlecarnut ...

Elton was the pianist (of course!) and part-time singer ...

This one is sung by Stuart Brown (the guitarist) ...

Cheers

Rob.

@pit2ryan3 It isn't? Which one is he? What role does he play in the band?

@Seattlecarnut ...

It's not Sir Reg singing here, though ...

Sir Reg is awesome both playing lead vocals and background vocals, not to mention just playing an awesome blues piano! Why their music was never released is beyond me.

Bluesology subsequently became Long John Baldry's backing group for a time. The Bluesology singles are extremely collectable these days and I am extremely grateful to you for posting these since this is the only opportunity I have had to hear them - thanks!

Wow. I wish Elton would make a remix of this.
