SHAKIN' STEVENS "merry christmas everyone" cd, 2009.
yep, christmas is upon us so out comes the third christmas one this week...
big dissapointment this one, always liked/loved Shaky's albums as they are in a similar style to those of early rock 'n' roll...but this is simply aweful, far too many synths and electronic drum machines on these tracks, really thought he would have stayed faithful to the 1958 elvis christmas sounds...but its not to be.
these are not all new recordings, but rather a collection of tracks recorded over the last three and a half decades, some are originals, others are covers..
eight of the thirteen tracks are terrible, with only five scraping through with a "like" rating, including the 1980s UK #1 hit "merry christmas everyone",that one is probably the best of a bad bunch along with his cover of the Elvis hit "blue christmas"....
theres even one on here that is a blatant rip off of the old Buddy Holly song "(youre so square)baby,i dont care"...oh God, that one just makes me want to puke.
below are couple of links to my favourite tracks on this one.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM:
