Our Take

Tommy Steele – Hits & Rarities

Score: 6.9

Ah, Tommy Steele. The original British rock 'n' roll bad boy who paved the way for the likes of Elvis and The Beatles. This compilation album, "Hits & Rarities," offers a glimpse into Steele's eclectic musical journey, from his chart-topping hits to some lesser-known gems.

The album kicks off with the infectious "Singing the Blues," a timeless classic that showcases Steele's rockabilly roots. From there, we are treated to a mix of toe-tapping tunes and heartfelt ballads that highlight Steele's versatility as an artist.

Tracks like "Butterfingers" and "Water, Water" are catchy and fun, with Steele's signature vocals shining through. The real gems, however, are the rarities sprinkled throughout the album. "Neon Sign" and "Teenage Party" offer a glimpse into Steele's experimental side, with quirky melodies and clever lyricism.

While some of the tracks may feel a bit dated, there's no denying the charm and energy that Steele brings to each song. His rock 'n' roll spirit is infectious, and it's clear why he was such a sensation in his heyday.

Overall, "Hits & Rarities" is a delightful trip down memory lane, showcasing the best of Tommy Steele's musical legacy. So grab your dancing shoes and give this album a spin – your inner rock 'n' roller will thank you.
