Our Take

Eddie Boyd is the king of the keys, a piano powerhouse who has been tickling the ivories for decades. His latest album, "The Singles Collection 1947-62," is a delightful romp through the early years of his career, showcasing all the charm and talent that made him a household name.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, "Blue Coat Man," you know you're in for a treat. Boyd's distinctive voice cuts through the jazzy instrumentation like a hot knife through butter, drawing you in and keeping you hooked until the very last note.

The singles on this collection span a wide range of styles, from rollicking boogie-woogie numbers like "Five Long Years" to soulful blues ballads like "Thank You Baby." Each track is a little slice of musical magic, showcasing Boyd's versatility and talent as a songwriter.

But what really sets this album apart is Boyd's infectious energy and charisma. His playful piano playing and cheeky lyrics make for a truly entertaining listen, with each song feeling like a mini adventure in its own right.

Overall, "The Singles Collection 1947-62" is a must-have for any music lover. It's a timeless collection of tracks that are sure to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. So sit back, relax, and let Eddie Boyd take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
