Our Take
Ah, Del Shannon's "Runaway With Del Shannon" is a colourful whirlwind of retro rockabilly vibes and serious swagger. From the iconic opening track "Runaway" with its catchy-as-hell chorus, to the hauntingly beautiful ballads like "Hats Off to Larry", this album is a rollercoaster ride through the heyday of 60s pop. Shannon's unmistakably smooth vocals soar over twangy guitars and punchy drums, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and timeless. There's a cheeky charm to tracks like "Hey! Little Girl" that will have you tapping your toes and singing along in no time. But it's not all just fun and games on this album. Shannon shows his emotional depth on tracks like "So Long Baby" and "The Prom", revealing a vulnerability that adds a layer of complexity to his rock and roll persona. It's this balance between light-hearted fun and heartfelt sincerity that makes "Runaway With Del Shannon" a standout album in Shannon's discography. So, grab your leather jacket and your dancing shoes, because Del Shannon is taking you on a wild ride with this album. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just discovering his music for the first time, "Runaway With Del Shannon" is a must-listen for anyone who loves good old-fashioned rock and roll.

About the artist

Del Shannon

Del Shannon was a rock and roll pioneer whose unique blend of pop, rockabilly, and country influences set him apart from his contemporaries. Born Charles Weedon Westover in Coopersville, Michigan, Shannon first rose to fame with his 1961 hit single "Runaway," which catapulted him to international stardom. Known for his distinctive falsetto vocals and innovative use of the musitron, Shannon's music embodied the sound of the early 1960s. His erratic behaviour and sometimes bizarre song choices made him an unpredictable force in the industry. From his lively performance on American Bandstand to his unforgettable appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Del Shannon was a true showman whose energy and charisma captivated audiences worldwide. Despite his initial success, Shannon struggled to maintain his momentum in the ever-changing music industry. However, his impact on the rock and roll genre cannot be understated. Hits like "Hats Off to Larry" and "Little Town Flirt" remain beloved classics to this day. Shannon's tragic death in 1990 marked the end of an era, but his music lives on as a testament to his enduring legacy. His influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from Bruce Springsteen to Tom Petty. Del Shannon may not have achieved the same level of commercial success as some of his peers, but his innovative spirit and untamed creativity make him a true icon of the rock and roll genre. Rest in peace, Del. Your music will forever be remembered and cherished.
