Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

If it is your friends that shape you as you stride the path ahead, then it has to be your family that make you what you are, you may not realise it, you may not even care, but it is your blood that has bought you to this point in time and the stories of your ancestors are just as, if not more important that your own. It is a realisation that Shakin’ Stevens has found and played within the realm of his new album, the enjoyable, the pleasurable and unrelenting Echoes Of Our Times.
