Our Take

Calling all passengers, the CHAS MCDEVITT Freight Train has officially left the station! This album is a delightful journey through the nostalgic sounds of 1950s skiffle music, with Chas McDevitt at the helm, strumming his guitar like a pro conductor.

From the moment the first chord of "Freight Train" reverberates through your speakers, you can't help but tap your feet and bob your head along to the infectious rhythm. McDevitt's smooth vocals and expert guitar playing transport you back to a simpler time when skiffle was king.

Tracks like "Greenback Dollar" and "Paul and Silas" showcase McDevitt's undeniable talent for storytelling, weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption with ease. The addition of Nancy Whiskey's haunting vocals on several tracks adds an extra layer of depth to the album, creating a dynamic listening experience that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Overall, CHAS MCDEVITT Freight Train is a toe-tapping, finger-snapping ride that will leave you craving more. So grab your ticket, hop on board, and let Chas McDevitt take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. All aboard!
