Album Description:

Debut album from Paolo Nutini.

From Amazon.co.uk:

19-year old Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini sounds older than his years on his debut album, These Streets. It's not just his careworn, smooth-as-sandpaper voice, either (although, admittedly, it does help). It's more to do with the maturity of the lyrics, and the casual soulfulness of his delivery. "Last Request" is more the work of a vintage Motown singer than a teenager from Paisley, and it's to Nutini's credit that he carries it off with aplomb. And rather like the soul singers of previous generations, he manages to sing without a hint of hypocrisy about his own sexual exploits ("Jenny Don't Be Hasty") while also questioning his girlfriend's fidelity ("Alloway Grove"). It's the fact that he's so frank, and even a little bit naive, that he manages to get away with it. And though the stripped-down tunes on These Streets don't always immediately grab the listener (the title track, in particular), the songs where Nutini is accompanied by a full band often manage to evoke sunny-day American soul ("New Shoes", for example). This is a strong debut, and considering Paolo Nutini's tender years, bigger things can be expected of him in the future. --Ted Kord

Better than expected
I decided to buy this CD after hearing the catchy "Jenny Don't Be Hasty" track on Sirius Spectrum. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find a really great collection of songs. Several of the tracks reminded me of another of my favorite CDs, "Long Time Coming" by Jonny Lang. Nutini's vocals on a couple of the tracks even sound like they could have been sang by Lang. I am not at all a blues fan but this CD seems to mix in just enough of a blues element to separate it from the run-of-the-mill male pop/rock acts that seem to dominate commercial radio.

Everyone should have a copy of this
Unbelievable talent! This CD is mezmerizing, unlike anything else. There is only 1 track I don't care for.... and that's a good thing. I can't wait for a second CD to come out. There aren't words to describe how amazing this CD is. I saw him live, and Serena Ryder opened for him. Paolo's CD is better, but she smoked him in the live performance. Check her out too!

Pauolo Nutini
Before I bought this album I wasn't expecting much, I had only heard a couple of Pauolo's songs and liked them but didn't know much else. Well I was more than pleasantly suprised! I love this album! Pauolo Nutini Rocks my world! I would recomend this c.d. to anyone! Awesome rythm and creative songs, along with a very sexy voice make this the best album I have bought all year!

Inspiring, Meaningful Folk Rock
The one thing that I really like about this CD is the lyrics; They are unconventional and winding; They touch on subjects you didn't expect to hear, and often evoke emotions from inside you didn't think a song could bring out. Coupled with the passion in his voice and some truly great melodies, this guy is someone to watch. Reminds me a little of Cat Stevens at times, but he is a true original for sure. A unique voice w/something to say.
