Shakin’ Stevens has a massive 19-disc box set on the way containing everything he has ever done.
Michael Barratt (aka Shakin Stevens) is now 72 years old. He was 33 when he had his first hit with ‘This Ole House’ in 1981. That song was written in 1954 and became a hit for Rosemary Clooney (George’s aunt).
The 266-track box set ‘Fire In The Blood : The Definitive Collection’ includes a 1980 live concert recording and four discs of rarities.
A previously unreleased gospel song ‘I Need To Know’ is included in the release. “Every now and again you hear something in the feel of a song that makes you want to record it – and that’s what happened when I first heard this gospel song. I recorded it but then went on to another project, which happens at times,” Shakin’ Stevens says. “But good songs always come to the surface and it was great to discover it once again and to be able to include this previous unreleased song on Fire In The Blood”
SINGLED OUT – THE DEFINITIVE SINGLES COLLECTION
The truly definitive singles collection of this living legend – featuring all of Shaky’s singles released as a solo artist, highlighting the broad umbrella of styles from rock and country blues, to Cajun, and Americana to classic rock – and including all the classics hits.
