Kirsty MacColl - Theres A Guy Works Down The Truck Stop Swears Hes Elvis

Review by Eldes Oliveira

Kirsty MacColl's album, "There's a Guy Works Down the Truck Stop Swears He's Elvis," is a delightful collection of songs that showcase her unique style and vocal range. With a mix of rockabilly, country, and pop influences, the album is a perfect representation of MacColl's versatility as an artist.

The album's title track, "There's a Guy Works Down the Truck Stop Swears He's Elvis," is a catchy, upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include "Hard to Believe," a melancholic ballad with beautiful harmonies, and "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby," a rollicking rockabilly number that is sure to get listeners' toes tapping.

MacColl's songwriting is also on full display throughout the album. Her lyrics are clever and often humorous, as evidenced in tracks like "Don't Come the Cowboy with Me Sonny Jim!" and "The End of a Perfect Day." However, she also shows her ability to tackle more serious subjects in songs like "He Never Mentioned Love," a heartbreaking ballad about a relationship that has lost its spark.

Summary by Eldes Oliveira

"There's a Guy Works Down the Truck Stop Swears He's Elvis" is a must-listen for fans of Kirsty MacColl or anyone looking for a fun and eclectic album that showcases an artist's range and talent.
