Our Take
Our Take
George Formby, the man, the myth, the ukulele legend. The father of cheeky tunes and innuendo-laden lyrics is finally getting his due with The Very Best Of compilation. This album is a slapstick romp through Formby's greatest hits, from the feel-good energy of "Leaning on a Lamp Post" to the irreverent humor of "When I'm Cleaning Windows."
Formby's distinctive voice and impeccable ukulele skills shine through on every track, proving why he was a household name in the 1930s and 40s. The cheeky wordplay and clever rhymes are a testament to Formby's wit and charm, creating an infectious energy that is impossible to resist.
But it's not all fun and games with Formby. Tracks like "Chinese Laundry Blues" and "Mother, What'll I Do Now?" showcase a more introspective side of the entertainer, delving into themes of love, loss, and longing.
Overall, The Very Best Of is a delightful throwback to a bygone era of music hall entertainment. With catchy tunes, witty lyrics, and Formby's signature charm, this album is sure to bring a smile to your face and a spring to your step. So grab your ukulele, put on your best cheeky grin, and dive into the world of George Formby - you won't be disappointed.
