Shocking Blue - The First Hits Of Shocking Blue
Review by Igweh Donald
The First Hits of Shocking Blue is a collection of some of the most memorable songs by the Dutch rock band Shocking Blue. Released in 1972, the album features hit songs such as "Venus," "Send Me a Postcard," and "Mighty Joe."
The album's opening track, "Venus," is a classic rock song that has stood the test of time. The catchy guitar riffs and Mariska Veres' powerful vocals make it an instant crowd-pleaser. "Send Me a Postcard" is another standout track, with its upbeat tempo and playful lyrics.
"Mighty Joe" is a bluesy number that showcases the band's versatility. The song's raw energy and Veres' soulful vocals make it a must-listen. Other notable tracks on the album include "Long and Lonesome Road" and "Never Marry a Railroad Man."
