Review by Claudia Holland

Frankie Valentine's album, The Junkie Blues, is a raw and emotional journey through addiction and recovery. The album is a testament to Valentine's ability to write and perform songs that are both profound and relatable.

The album's opening track, "The Junkie Blues," sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is a haunting ballad that tells the story of a man struggling with addiction. The lyrics are honest and raw, and Valentine's vocals are filled with emotion.

The album's standout track, "Broken Bottles," is a powerful song about the dangers of addiction. The song's chorus is particularly moving, with Valentine singing, "Broken bottles, broken dreams, broken hearts, broken seams."

Valentine's vocals are at their best on the album's slower tracks, such as "Let It Rain" and "Broken Bottles." His voice is filled with emotion and vulnerability, making it easy for listeners to connect with the songs.

Summary by Claudia Holland

The Junkie Blues is a powerful album that showcases Valentine's songwriting and vocal abilities. It's a must-listen for anyone who has struggled with addiction or knows someone who has.
