What's Shakin

Produced by the legendary Jim Gaines and jam-packed with a truck-load of Texas blues, this eleven-track record is a true gem. In the studio with Athas is his son Rocky Athas II on bass guitar, and drummer Walter Watson. Together they form one hell of a power-trio…

Reinvention is a much-used word in the music world. But after redefining his sound and style on 2016's hugely acclaimed Echoes Of Our Times, Shakin' Stevens wasn't content just to press repeat for his next studio project. Now, he's hit Re-Set.

If that last album set the bar high, he really has Re-Set it once again, in every sense. But Re-Set is another story, and one that Stevens can't wait to share with his hugely loyal fan base and new admirers alike.
