Thoughts

It still surprises me when I realise I’ve got however far in this album adventure and there are big artists that I haven’t covered. The Big O is one of those, so quickly had to rectify the situation. It’s a great album, how could it not be with that amazing voice? I was surprised to hear Bye Bye Love, as I’ve only just heard The Everly Brothers version a couple of weeks ago. But they’re quite different. Overall a great listen, especially for a debut.

Rating: 4 / 5
