Most notable for including the interesting folk-rock journeyman Andy Roberts in the lineup, Everyone had a brief and confusing career. They issued just one self-titled album in the U.K. on BC in the early '70s. However, when it appeared on Ampex in the U.S., the album was titled Andy Roberts With Everyone, implying that it was a Roberts solo effort, or at the least that Everyone was Roberts' backing band. Everyone was a real band, however, in which Roberts wrote much but by no means all of the material, most of the rest coming from organist/vocalist Bob Sargeant. Roberts has since admitted that the album had something of a split personality, without much common ground between his gentle folk-rock-influenced approach and Sargeant's bluesier, more flamboyant style, which showed an influence from early-'70s progressive rock bombast. The more excessive Sargeant compositions aside, it's a reasonably pleasant if unexceptional early-'70s rock album. It's not quite folk-rock-oriented enough to be classified alongside the likes of Fairport Convention, and too early for pub rock, whose modest rootsy vibe Everyone anticipated to some degree. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
