The New Tracks,
By
This review is from: Rockferry (Audio CD)
Having already reviewed Rockferry and giving it a glowing review all I wish to say is that until it was replaced with this Deluxe version it was still the most played CD in my car (much to the annoyance of others who aren't as fond of her music as I am!)
The 7 additional tracks on the deluxe version continue in that distinctive Duffy modern take on the 60s style with the perfect mix of upbeat songs and heartfelt melodies. Having played the additional tracks a few times now I like them all but my personal favourites are Rain On Your Parade (already released as a single), Stop which has a great catchy tune and Fool For You - a hauntingly mellow track which I keep finding myself humming. Please Stay - Her cover of the Burt Bacharach song bought a smile to my face as I fondly remember a previous version played and played by me back in the 70's as a pre-teenager wearing my tartan trews lol! I wish record companies would stop re-releasing albums as deluxe editions with just a few extra tracks, though in this instance the 7 additional tracks are worth every penny in my opinion. If you like Duffy you'll love this - I certainly do!

A new star,
This review is from: Rockferry (Audio CD)
I had heard people describe Duffy as the new Dusty Springfield. I would say she is a cross between Dusty and a young Lulu. I am a child of the sixties and I love this album.There isn't one song that I can fault. Her voice suits the rock numbers just as well as the ballads - Mercy to Warwick Avenue. I look forward to hearing what she comes up with next.

Even better than Rockferry I,

This review is from: Rockferry (Audio CD)
I already have the original single-disc version of ROCKFERRY and I really like it. Before listening to this 'Deluxe Edition' I half-expected the seven new songs on the 25-minute-long second disc to be the crud that wasn't good enough to have been included when the first album was released. Well, that's just not true at all - the new songs are good enough to have been released as a stand-alone album, of that I am in no doubt. So this Deluxe variation is fantastic value.
I like all the tracks but I think I like the opening one 'Rain on your Parade' the best, which is to be released as a single. The style of the songwriting is just like the single-disc album, simply carrying on where that one left off. If you loved that, you'll love this. The second track 'Fool for You' and the third 'Stop' could also be released as singles, in my opinion. They're great songs, all of the first three tracks being up-tempo in much the same way that 'Mercy' is. The fourth track 'Oh Boy' is the first slow song although it's quite short at just two and a half minutes. She sings - "If you ever find, That your peace of mind, Is shattered in so many ways and I find my feet Down on lonely street, I'll be stood there waiting for you Boy you got me." Track five 'Please Stay' is a plaintive ballad and perhaps more than ever takes its inspirations from songs of this type from the mid 1960s, which is fine by me because I still think that the sixties was the best decade of them all for musical identity and creativity. Yes, it's possible to imagine Lulu singing this but then a moment later you realise that Duffy has a voice uniquely her own and the similarities are more coincidental than pre-meditated. That's my own take on it, anyway. The sixth track 'Breaking My own Heart' is a close runner for being my favourite of the seven, again it's astonishing that Duffy has the talent and perhaps the courage to put such a great song on this Deluxe set because this song could comfortably have been the single and top-track from a second and entirely separate album. I love it. Finally there's 'Enough Love', a fitting reprise to the collection on Disc 2 and on a par with everything else. There are no weak songs here at all, in my view. If you already have the first Rockferry album and you like it, you really should buy this Deluxe Edition, it's worth it! And of course all this is on top of the ten songs that make up the original Rockferry album, making seventeen in all. For some lesser performers, the standard here is good enough to have been called 'Greatest Hits' as the quality is high from start to finish. It just makes me wonder what on earth this woman can do to top this, but I look forward to finding out.
