SHAKIN' STEVENS "this ole house" cd/vinyl 1981
a revisit
from Wales
his nineth studio album of twenty, his breakthru album
started life as an Elvis impersonator in the early 1970s and starred in several stage shows about "the king" before he died
his music is rooted firmly in the 1950s rockabilly/rock style
Shaky had more top-10 hits in the UK during the 1980s than any other artist
a very good album but not his best, rates around 2.2
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
fav is his excellent cover of the Rosemary Clooney classic:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
