Johnny Kidd was one of those authentic British characters who passed away too early. His real name was Frederick Heath, but Frederick Heath and the Pirates doesn't sound right, whereas Frederick Heath and the Junior Clerks is not snappy enough. " Shakin' All Over" was his biggest hit and what a number it was.
For a start, it seems incredible that this should have been released in 1960. Way ahead of its time. The song pulses with sexual energy which, in 1960, was something that could barely even be hinted at let alone spoken of. And then there is that guitar riff. Owing a lot to the R&B of the Chicago and Detroit scenes, that riff has to be one of the all time great riffs. And still this was only 1960! More Eddie Cochran than Buddy Holly, this track set the template which others took four or five years before they were able to follow it.
Rating: 8/10
