Shakin' Stevens - Echoes Of Our Times (HEC101CD, HEC101CDSE and HEC102LP)

Platinum-selling Shakin' Stevens is a household name, entertainer and performer with 33 hit singles and 4 UK number 1s to his name. 'Echoes Of Our Times' is Shaky's 12th studio album and clearly marks Shakin' Stevens out as an artist, songwriter and storyteller. The album grew out of Shaky's realisation that, like most of us, he knew very little about the background of his family - the stories of his ancestors' loves and lives lost, and their struggles to survive. The result is a lyrically personal and musically explorative album that's been a critical smash. 'Vibrant, raw and passionate. By digging into his past, Shakin' Stevens has found a way to move forward' - **** The Times. 'An eclectic mix of Americana, blues, roots and classic rock...A departure, yes, but a great album' - **** Maverick Magazine. Available as a cd, special edition cd packaged as a case-bound book and on vinyl. Track listing (cd) 1. Down In The Hole / 2. Echoes Of Our Times / 3. Behind Those Secrets And Lies / 4.
