Our Take

Geraint Watkins' latest album, "Aide-Memoire," is a delightful romp through the world of rock and roll, delivered with a charmingly quirky flair that only Watkins can bring. Known for his eclectic blend of blues, country, and pop sensibilities, Watkins has once again delivered the goods with this solid collection of tracks.

From the rollicking opener "Jalopy to Let" to the twangy ballad "Annalisa," Watkins displays his musical versatility with ease. His voice, a raspy croon that sounds like it's been soaked in whiskey for a decade, adds a touch of rough-around-the-edges charm to each track. The instrumentation is top-notch, with Watkins' expert piano playing standing out as a highlight throughout the album.

One of the standout tracks on "Aide-Memoire" is the infectious "Nervous on the Road," a foot-stomping anthem that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. Watkins' knack for catchy melodies and clever lyrics is on full display here, making it a definite highlight of the album.

Overall, "Aide-Memoire" is a fun and enjoyable listen that showcases Geraint Watkins' immense talent and musical craftsmanship. Whether you're a longtime fan of Watkins or new to his music, this album is sure to please with its catchy tunes and effortless charm. So grab a glass of your favourite beverage, sit back, and let Geraint Watkins take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
