Our Take

DEL SHANNON - The Dublin Sessions

Rating: 8.5/10

In a world full of autotune and manufactured pop stars, Del Shannon’s The Dublin Sessions is a refreshing reminder of the raw talent and creativity that still exists in the music industry.

Recorded in the heart of Ireland, this album is a testament to Shannon’s enduring legacy as a rock and roll pioneer. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a smoky pub in Dublin, where Shannon’s gritty vocals and infectious guitar riffs fill the room with energy and excitement.

Tracks like “Runaway Revisited” and “Irish Eyes” showcase Shannon’s ability to blend traditional rock and roll with Irish folk influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The production on this album is top notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix, giving the songs a dynamic and multi-dimensional quality.

Despite being recorded in 1990, The Dublin Sessions has a timeless quality that still resonates with listeners today. Shannon’s passion for music is evident in every note, and his charismatic personality shines through in every lyric.

Overall, Del Shannon’s The Dublin Sessions is a must-listen for any fan of rock and roll music. It’s a joyous celebration of an artist who paved the way for generations to come, and a reminder that true talent never goes out of style. Cheers to you, Del Shannon, for reminding us all what real music sounds like.

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.
