The 1980 Listening Post - Shakin' Stevens - Take One!

 Shakin' Stevens - Take One!


February 8 1980

Shakin’ Stevens

Take One!

Genre: Rockabilly Throwback

3.25 out of 5


Highlights:

Shame, Shame, Shame



I’m not writing a tome about some of these but I will record quick thoughts. Like: Why does this album sound more vibrant and…fun…than his 1981 offering? I don’t think it’s because 81 was a slog. Something feels different in the 80 recordings.


Perfectly acceptable, if middlingly interesting rockabilly nostalgia.
