Our Take

Ricky Nelson, the eternal teenage heartthrob, has finally hit the big 2-1, and he's celebrating with a bang in his album "Rick Is 21." This release sees Nelson stepping into adulthood with a swagger that's as smooth as his iconic pompadour.

From the first track, "Travelin' Man," it's clear that Nelson is ready to leave his teenybopper days behind and embrace a more mature sound. The twangy guitars and catchy hooks are still there, but there's a newfound sense of confidence and swagger in his delivery.

Tracks like "Hello Mary Lou" and "Young Emotions" showcase Nelson's versatility as a musician, with his smooth vocals effortlessly gliding over country-tinged melodies and rocking guitar riffs. This album is proof that Nelson is more than just a pretty face - he's a bona fide rock 'n' roll star.

But it's not all about growing up - there are still plenty of youthful exuberance and playful charm to be found in tracks like "Right By My Side" and "Proving My Love." Nelson may be 21 now, but he's still got that boyish charm that made him a teen idol in the first place.

Overall, "Rick Is 21" is a triumphant coming-of-age record for Ricky Nelson, showcasing his growth as a musician while still retaining the charm that made him a household name. So pop on your blue suede shoes, grab a milkshake, and let Ricky Nelson take you on a musical journey through the ups and downs of young adulthood. He's all grown up, but he's still the same old Ricky we know and love.

About the artist

Rick Nelson

Ricky Nelson, the original heartthrob of the rock 'n' roll era, is a musical force to be reckoned with. Born Eric Hilliard Nelson in Teaneck, New Jersey, this singer-songwriter catapulted to fame in the late 1950s with his slicked-back hair, dreamy vocals, and swoon-worthy charm. Nelson first made his mark on the music scene with hits like "Hello Mary Lou" and "Travelin' Man," showcasing his smooth crooning style and undeniable charisma. His songs have a timeless quality that transcends generations, making him a legend in his own right. But don't be fooled by his boy-next-door image, Nelson had a rebellious streak that earned him the nickname "The Bad Boy of Rock 'n' Roll." From challenging the music industry norms to pushing the boundaries of genre conventions, Nelson was a true trailblazer ahead of his time. Despite facing personal struggles and tragic events in his life, including the tragic plane crash that claimed his life in 1985, Nelson's musical legacy lives on. His influence can be heard in the sounds of modern rockabilly and country music, proving that his impact on the industry is truly everlasting. So grab your leather jacket, hop into your convertible, and turn up the volume on some Ricky Nelson classics. Because when it comes to timeless music that rocks your socks off, Ricky Nelson is the man of the hour.
