[CRAZY-HORSE]

SHAKIN' STEVENS "this ole house" vinyl/cd, 1980.

for those of you who dont know "shaky"(namely our American friends)...shakin' stevens was an Elvis impersonator back in the UK in the very early 1970s, he also made numerous records then also, but none of the sold enough copies to make the charts....wasnt until 1980 when he did a cover of the old 1950s hit "this ole house" that he hit the paydirt...from that uk #1 hit he ended up with more UK Top 20 hits than any other artist during the 1980s(around 30 from memory)staying true to his 1950s sound...a few of those hits were very respectable covers of known hits and obscure covers from back in the day.
anyway this album, his first real hit album is ok, only one real good track here (the title track), "revenue man" just misses the love rating, the rest bar one are all likeable....the UK was going through a bit of a rockabilly revival back in the early 80s with Shaky and the Stray Cats
