  RUSS BALLARD & BITTER LEMON (Konzertbericht) - Bright Eyes Germany
Wenn ich ganz ehrlich bin, muss ich zugeben, bis vor kurzem noch nie etwas von der Ortschaft Großhöhenrain gehört zu haben.
Man kann über RUSS BALLARD ja denken, was man will, aber dass der Brite den Rock in seinen Adern hat, exzellent singt, eine Hammergitarre spielt, Welthits am Fließband schreibt und total sympathisch wirkt, kann man ihm nicht absprechen.
RUSS BALLARD und seine Begleitmusiker haben einen verdammt guten Eindruck hinterlassen und das gehalten, was der große Name versprach.

  Russ Ballard Albums & Lyrics @ SongLyricsLibrary.com
Ballard attended the same secondary modern school as Cliff Richard before joining the Daybreakers, the backing group to Buster Meikle, another local singer (and future mainstay of Unit Four Plus Two).
Ballard's compositions complemented those of leader Rod Argent and his confidence was boosted when his "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You" was among the group's hits.
Ballard was also active as a session player for both old associates such as Faith (and his protégé Leo Sayer) and Rainbow's Graham Bonnet as well as newer acquaintances such as Lea Nicholson, Starry Eyed And Laughing and Phoenix.

  PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY TOM KARR
The loss of Ballard, with his strong pop sensibilities and powerful singing voice would prove to be the death blow to the band, but what a brilliant swan song this line up of the group would give us.
Uhh….well it is. Russ Ballard’s sentimental tune is kept proggy by Argent’s use of Mellotron, Moog and electric piano as well as by it’s Beatles-esque instrumental bridge and by the band's part harmony vocals.
Ballard’s lead vocal is outstanding, which is par for the course for him.

 Argent - Rock at Randy's Rodeo
The follow up, In Deep (1973), generated an English Top 20 hit with Russ Ballard's "God Gave Rock and Roll To You," but the album failed to create much of a stir in the United States beyond the then-rarified realm of FM radio.
Russ Ballard had already departed in 1975 to pursue a solo career, but he achieved only marginal success.
Ballard also wrote "New York Groove," a 1978 solo smash for Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley that had originally been waxed in 1975 by British band Hello.

 The Zombies
Ballard contributed "Tragedy" and "He's A Dynamo"; the rest of the songwriting is by Argent and White (working together, unlike the Zombies years).
Ballard's howling vocals, self-indulgent guitar work, and dumb, repetitive writing ("He's A Dynamo") add up to intermittently satisfying, boogie-influenced hard rock a la Humble Pie.
At this point Russ Ballard was replaced by guitarist John Grimaldi and singer/guitarist John Verity.

 Russ Ballard - Anthology   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Out of print!Russ Ballard was in Argent but in the late 70`s and early 80`s he was all over the radio but folks really never knew who he was during that time.
Paying close attention to the title reveals that this compilation from Argent`s guitarist is not only made up of solo efforts from Ballard, but also his versions of songs made popular by other artists that were written by him.
Russ Ballard uses a unique approach in most of his songs, whereas his voice creeps up silently to the chorus and then brazenly erupts in full force, releasing a multitude of energy by doing so, and is quite entertaining.

 Russ Ballard
When we say the name Russ Ballard, our mind always goes to the great hits that this musician has wrote, sang with his bands, or gave to other hard rock or metal bands.
Russ except that he is a great singer, he is also a surprisingly strong guitarist and his songs maintain a high level of generic quality.
He had worked with many bands, and he gave them many songs that almost all of them became popular and made those bands famous to the people.

 RUSS BALLARD + REVEREND RUSTY & THE CASE (Konzertbericht) - Bright Eyes Germany
RUSS prostete dem Publikum mit einer Wasserflasche zu, bemerkte, wie wunderbar seine Fans doch sind und das wirkte alles unheimlich bodenständig und keine Spur aufgesetzt.
Für seine Verhältnisse war Mister BALLARD äußerst gesprächig an diesem Abend und er ließ alle wissen, wie froh er darüber ist, dass auch seine Tochter unter den Zuschauern ist, die trotz Flugangst nach München düste.
RUSS BALLARD kann auch im gesegneten Rentenalter noch immer mit jugendlicher Frische überzeugen und Menschen aller Gesellschaftsschichten und Generationen begeistern.

 RUSS BALLARD | Rockdetector
Although relatively low key on the international Rock scene as a solo act, RUSS BALLARD, born in Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire, has scored numerous major smash hits with other artists, his songs being employed by many high profile acts.
A pivotal member of ARGENT from 1970 to 1975, a succession of solo albums followed Russ Ballard's entry into solo artist territory.
Ballard had made his entry into the Rock n’ Roll arena with RICK NICHOLL AND THE REBELS, THE DAYBREAKERS and subsequently as part of Adam Faith’s band THE ROULLETES.

 Hello - Biography - AOL Music   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hello was formed in north London in 1971 by teenagers Bob Bradbury (vocals), Keith Marshall (guitar), Vic Faulkner (bass), and Jeff Allen (drums, brother of Ultravox's Chris Cross), originally gigging around the local youth club circuit as a covers band called the Age.
It was in this guise that they were discovered by Argent songwriter Russ Ballard and the Zombies' old road manager David Blaylock -- then working as a plugger for the Chappell Music publishing company.
The pair originally envisioned the group as an outlet for Ballard's non-Argent songwriting output -- their first-ever recording session saw Hello tackle "Can't Let You Go," a Ballard composition which would subsequently give '60s superstar Barry Ryan his first hit of the new decade.

 VH1.com : Argent : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
The group's other members were guitarist/songwriter Russ Ballard, bassist Jim Rodford, and drummer Bob Henrit.
By 1974, Ballard had developed his songwriting talents enough to leave for a solo career (Three Dog Night had a Top Ten single in 1971 with his "Liar," from Argent), and was replaced by guitarist John Verity and string player John Grimaldi.
Without Ballard, the group lost its focus and indulged its tendencies toward extended art rock passages and improvisational solos to somewhat excessive levels.

Russ Ballard is a rock icon that didnt get due recognition, he even wrote a song which Ritchie Blackmore,in his heyday, recorded & released it in Rainbow's 1981 classic album "Difficult to cure", it was titled "I surrender".
If anyone is interested in 80's rock, they will definitely enjoy this album, after 20 years since i fisrt heard it, the songs are still as invigorating as ever.
The song In The Night was later redone by Ace Frehley of Kiss (the Russ Ballard Version is much better).

 Russ Ballard - Russ Ballard [1984] | 610 CKTB
A sunglasses-carrying member of the Roy Orbison/Ian Hunter shades club, former Argent vox-man and crack songwriter Russ Ballard ("Since You've Been Gone," "I Know There's Something Going On") breaks out with an ace band for another shot at the spotlight.
"Voices" deservedly garnered dial time; and Ace Frehley, who hit big with Ballard's "New York Groove," returned to plunder the slattern "In the Night" for Frehley's Comet.
Ballard himself blatantly rips the opening chords of "Who's Crying Now" for "The Last Time." He almost creates the Outfield on "Day to Day," but Ballard doesn't have the pipes.
