Our Take

Ah, Rusty Draper - a name that conjures up images of old-school charm, swagger, and perhaps a touch of nostalgia. With his Collection 1939-62, Draper takes us on a musical journey through decades of hits and hidden gems.

The album kicks off with the classic track "Gambler's Guitar", a toe-tapping, hip-swinging number that sets the tone for what's to come. Draper's smooth vocals effortlessly glide over the melody, transporting us back to a time when crooners ruled the airwaves.

Throughout the album, Draper showcases his versatility as an artist, effortlessly switching from upbeat rockabilly numbers like "Tiger Lily" to heartfelt ballads like "Sweet Violets". His ability to capture the emotions of each song is truly remarkable, leaving listeners feeling both nostalgic and uplifted.

But perhaps the standout track on the album is "Please Help Me, I'm Falling", a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Draper's vocal prowess and emotive storytelling. The lyrics are raw, the melody haunting, and Draper's delivery is nothing short of mesmerising.

Overall, Rusty Draper's Collection 1939-62 is a timeless masterpiece that showcases his talent as a musician and storyteller.

About the artist

Rusty Draper

Rusty Draper is a name that evokes nostalgia and charm in equal measure. This bouncy, charismatic crooner first burst onto the music scene in the 1950s, with his sugary voice and boy-next-door looks capturing the hearts of teenagers everywhere. Hailing from Texas, Draper got his start singing in local clubs before catching the ear of talent scouts in the big city. His first major hit, "Gambler's Guitar," shot him to stardom and solidified his place in the pantheon of rock 'n' roll greats. Despite his pop sensibilities, Draper was no one-hit wonder. Throughout his career, he dabbled in country, jazz, and even doo-wop, showing a versatility that set him apart from his contemporaries. His smooth vocals and infectious energy never failed to get audiences on their feet and dancing along. But what truly sets Rusty Draper apart is his infectious sense of humour and down-to-earth charm. His music is infused with a playful spirit that makes you feel like you're sitting down for a pint with an old friend. Whether he's crooning a tender ballad or belting out an up-tempo rocker, Draper's warmth and sincerity shine through. In an industry filled with egos and pretension, Rusty Draper is a breath of fresh air. His music may be from another era, but its timeless appeal continues to captivate listeners young and old. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to swing and sway to the one and only Rusty Draper.
