NO COVER ART AVAILABLE:
SHAKIN' STEVENS "there are two types of music....rock 'n' roll" cd, 1990
his seventeenth album, my tenth or eleventh.
didn't know where to put this, not quite pop, not classic rock or alternative, so soft rock it is.
his career had faltered in the UK at this stage,
so he tried to reinvent himself by enlisting the then current masters of pop
writing/production in Stock Aitken & Waterman to give him a more modern sound.
yup, synth drums etc but you can still hear his '50s rock style.
the change didn't work, album stalled outside the top60 and five singles released
with only one making the UK top20.
nothing too wrong with this album, its typical Shakin' Stevens.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite has an almost 50s doo-wop thing happening:
