Our Take

The CHAS MCDEVITT SKIFFLE GROUP Featuring Nancy Whiskey And Shirley Douglas album is like a cup of tea on a rainy British day - warm, comforting, and a little bit quirky. With their unique blend of skiffle, folk, and blues, this group brings a delightful charm that is hard to resist.

Nancy Whiskey's soulful vocals bring a raw emotional depth to each track, while Shirley Douglas' catchy melodies keep the energy high. The musicianship on this album is top-notch, with Chas McDevitt leading the group with his skillful guitar playing and infectious enthusiasm.

From the foot-stomping rhythms of "Freight Train" to the heartfelt balladry of "Greenback Dollar," this album is a journey through the history of British folk music. Each track is a gem in its own right, showcasing the talents of each member of the group.

While the sound may be retro, there is a timeless quality to the music that keeps it feeling fresh and relevant. The CHAS MCDEVITT SKIFFLE GROUP Featuring Nancy Whiskey And Shirley Douglas album is a delightful listen from start to finish, and a must-have for any fan of folk or skiffle music.

So grab your tea, put on your slippers, and settle in for a charming musical experience that will transport you to a bygone era of British music. Cheers!

About the artist

The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group

The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group is a throwback to the swinging 60s, when skiffle music was all the rage and teenagers were getting their kicks on kitchen appliances turned makeshift instruments. Led by the irrepressible Chas McDevitt, this group brings a sense of fun and whimsy to their performances that is infectious and impossible to resist. With their signature blend of folk, jazz, and blues, the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group has been turning heads and tapping toes since their formation in 1956. Their debut single, "Freight Train," was a smash hit in the UK, propelling them to stardom and paving the way for a string of successful albums and singles. But don't let their light-hearted sound fool you - these guys are serious musicians with chops to spare. Chas McDevitt's virtuoso guitar playing is matched only by his witty lyrics and charming stage presence, while the rest of the band members bring their own unique talents to the table, creating a sound that is both timeless and undeniably catchy. Whether you're a die-hard skiffle fan or just looking for a good time, the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group is sure to deliver. So grab your washboard, dust off your tea chest bass, and get ready to dance the night away with one of the most entertaining acts in the business. You won't regret it, and neither will your neighbours - skiffle is meant to be played loud and proud!
