Tommy Roe - Full Bloom

Review by Jonathan Pearson

Full Bloom by Tommy Roe: The Bubblegum Banger That Almost Got Lost in '69 Alright, let's get real for a second. Full Bloom isn’t some overhyped masterpiece—it’s raw, unfiltered late-’60s pop-rock with bubblegum frosting. Released in 1969 under Monument Records (yeah, those legends), this album feels like someone took the sticky sweetness of love songs and smashed it together with gritty rock vibes. And you know what? It kinda works. First off, major props to Chips Moman and Fred Foster on production duties—they didn’t just phone it in. Tracks like "Your Love Will See Me Through" slap hard, man. That opening track is pure ear candy. The melody sticks to your brain like gum under a school desk, but damn if it doesn’t feel good while it’s there. You can tell they were trying to blend that sugary pop vibe with something heavier, and honestly? They nailed it. Every time I hear the chorus, I’m ready to grab my girl—or at least pretend I have one—and slow dance in the kitchen. Then there’s "Sippin’ On The Love We Make." This tune hits different. It’s got this groovy rhythm that makes you wanna move, even if you’re sitting alone in your room looking sad. The lyrics are cheesy as hell—like, borderline embarrassing—but somehow, that just adds to its charm. It’s not deep; it’s not trying to be. It’s just fun. Like eating an entire sleeve of cookies without caring about the calories. Yeah, it’s indulgent, but who cares? The rest of the album has its moments too. Songs like "Back To The Roots" bring back that classic rock energy, while tracks like "Love Has A Way Of Breaking Your Heart" remind you why heartbreak tunes will never go out of style. But here’s the kicker—it’s inconsistent as hell. Some tracks shine, others fizzle out faster than a cheap firework. Still, when it works, it works. Here’s the thing about Full Blaze—I mean, Full Bloom (oops): it’s not gonna change your life or anything. But it’s honest. It doesn’t try to be more than it is. In a world full of pretentious crap passing as art, that counts for something. Plus, how many albums from ’69 still make you wanna crank up the volume and sing along like nobody’s watching? So yeah, maybe Full Bloom slipped through the cracks back then. Maybe it didn’t get the hype it deserved. But screw it—if you dig bubblegum pop with a side of grit, give this bad boy a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up humming “Sha Na Na Na” for days straight. Oh, and one last thing—why does no one talk about Chips Moman anymore? Dude was a freakin’ genius. Go figure.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *Full Bloom* by Tommy Roe, released in 1969, was a mix of pop, rock, and bubblegum styles. It had contributions from two legendary producers—Chips Moman and Fred Foster. Interestingly, the track "Sippin' on the Love We Make" appears twice on the album, almost like a little musical echo. Bubblegum music might sound light and catchy, but this album shows it can still carry some serious production creds.
