SHAKIN' STEVENS "re set" vinyl 2023
another birthday gift from Lynne
Welsh singer,
hugely popular in Europe in the 1980s
had more top-10 hits in that decade in the UK than any other male singer
his 20th studio album, third since this century
a more subdued, reflective album than previous rockabilly/pop albums
comes from a long line of miners and these are the stories of his family, historical and present
some uptempo tracks making it soft rock and some more slower/folkier type tunes making it more easy listening
my favourites are the slower tunes but overall it is still pretty good
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite track is about a family member who died in a mining disaster, really heartfelt track from Shaky.
love this one too:
