Del Shannon - The Dublin Sessions
Review by Fran Anderson
The Dublin Sessions by Del Shannon is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the late singer-songwriter. Released posthumously, the album features recordings from Shannon's final studio sessions in Dublin, Ireland, in 1990.
The album showcases Shannon's signature sound, blending rock and roll, country, and pop, with a touch of Irish folk influences. His voice still sounds as powerful and emotive as ever, delivering heartfelt ballads like "Walk Away" and "Kelly" with ease.
The production on the album is stripped back, allowing Shannon's vocals to take center stage. The session musicians provide a solid backing, adding subtle nuances to the arrangements. The album also features a collaboration with Irish folk group The Dubliners on the track "The Wild Rover," which highlights Shannon's ability to adapt to different genres.
