Shakin' Stevens - Lonely Blue Boy

Review by Roland Sargunan

Lonely Blue Boy is a classic album from the Welsh rock and roll legend, Shakin' Stevens. Released in 1983, the album features a mix of original songs and covers that showcase Stevens' impressive vocal range and his ability to blend different genres of music into his signature sound.

The album's title track, "Lonely Blue Boy," is a standout with its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics that capture the pain of unrequited love. Other highlights include "It's Raining," a lively rock and roll number, and "I Might," a soulful ballad that showcases Stevens' emotive vocals.

Throughout the album, Stevens is backed by a talented group of musicians who provide a solid foundation for his dynamic performances. The arrangements are tight and polished, yet still manage to capture the raw energy of Stevens' live shows.
