Thoughts

Gene Pitney is a sound from my younger days as my parents would listen to him often and I know a lot of the main singles. I figured it was worth starting at the beginning of his journey, and this album has a few great tracks on with the rest doing a good job of supporting the main. I didn’t realised Town Without Pity was from a film and reading the synopsis it sounds pretty brutal, so makes a lot of sense why that song is so depressing. Great voice though and the start of a fantastic career.

Rating: 3 / 5
