Our Take

The latest reissue of CHAS MCDEVITT SKIFFLE GROUP's "Freight Train" is a delightful time capsule of the skiffle music craze that swept through Britain in the late 1950s. This collection serves as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era when tea was rationed and teenagers were busy creating makeshift instruments out of household items.

Nancy Whiskey and Shirley Douglas lend their vocals to the skiffle group, adding a touch of feminine charm to the predominantly male genre. Their harmonies blend effortlessly with McDevitt's twangy guitar riffs, creating a sound that is both raw and infectious.

The standout track, "Freight Train," is a classic example of the simple yet compelling nature of skiffle music. The group's stripped-down instrumentation allows the song's catchy melody to shine through, making it impossible not to tap your feet along to the rhythm.

Despite the limitations of the recording technology of the time, the charm and energy of the performances on this album shine through. The crackling of the records only adds to the vintage appeal of the music.

Overall, the CHAS MCDEVITT SKIFFLE GROUP's "Freight Train" is a must-listen for fans of skiffle music, or anyone looking to delve into the musical landscape of 1950s Britain. It may not be the most polished or sophisticated collection, but it certainly captures the spirit of a musical movement that left a lasting impact on the British music scene.
