"Taught by Experts" is the 4th studio album by Peter Allen, released in 1976. It spawned the hit "I Go to Rio". The album featured such musicians as Thom Rotella, Jerome Richardson, Lesley Gore and Dusty Springfield.

Two of Helen Reddy's 1974 albums, "Love Song for Jeffrey" and "Free and Easy", are combined onto one CD on this release, with the addition of historical liner notes and a couple of tracks from her 1978 album Live in London. Reddy was near the peak of her popularity in 1974, but although each album has a couple of hit singles, they're erratic works in which the singer flits uncomfortably between rock-influenced styles and more middle-of-the-road vocals.

Original blues driven by heartfelt vocals, wailing harmonica, tenacious guitar and a grooving rhythm section. The music and lyrics will make forget about your troubles… after all, isn't that what the blues is all about?
