Review by Roxanne Matalic

Gamblin Man, the album by Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle Group, is a fascinating mix of traditional folk, blues and country music. Released in 1960, the album features Donegan's signature style of upbeat, foot-tapping tunes that are perfect for a sing-along.

The album opens with the title track, "Gamblin Man", a catchy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. It's followed by "Puttin' On The Style", a song that showcases Donegan's talent for blending different musical styles.

Other standout tracks on the album include "I'm Alabammy Bound", a lively tune that features some impressive banjo playing, and "Lonesome Traveller", a haunting ballad that showcases Donegan's soulful voice.

Putting on the style
Lonnie Donegan
Lyrics

Sweet sixteen goes to church
Just to see the boys
Laughs and screams and giggles
At every little noise
Turns her face a little
And turns her head awhile
But everybody knows she's
Only putting on the style

She's putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style

Well the young man in the hot rod car
Driving like he's mad
With a pair of yellow gloves
He's borrowed from his dad
He makes it roar so lively
Just to make his girlfriend smile
But she knows he's only
Putting on the style

He's putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style

Preacher in the pulpit
Roars with all his might
Sing Glory Halleluja
Puts the folks all in a fright
Now you might think it's satan
That's a-coming down the aisle
But it's only our poor preacher boys
That's putting on his style

Putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style
Putting on the agony
Putting on the style

That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style
Putting on the agony
Putting on the style

That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style

Love his music. He also reminds so much of Robin Williams.
Don't forget he was a Glaswegian and we jived to his music yep am still alive margaret
Grew up listening to Lonnie. Legend.
Peter Sellers does a good take of Lonnie.
