Darrel Higham

Made In England

(Foot Tapping)




The title indicates the conceit: All tracks are covers of Old Blighty notables like Marty Wilde, Tommy Steele, and Billy Fury. Higham excels in revisiting their stellar material, and acquits himself admirably on guitar (as is his wont). He stands tall in the uppermost rank.

Recommended: "Rebel Rock," "Rock With the Caveman," "Play Rough," "Gonna Type a Letter," "Just Too Late," "Dynamite," "Bad Boy," "Jelly Baby"
