Rick Is 21 (Remastered)
Album · Pop · 1961
Though he'd moved away from his rockabilly roots—and shortened his name—as he grew out of his teens, Rick Nelson gleefully indulges his rockin' side on this uptempo 1961 album. While showcasing his newfound maturity on the wistful "Travelin' Man" and a heartfelt take on the jazz-standard ballad "Stars Fell on Alabama", he also eases into hip-shaking, finger-snapping gems like the bopping "Break My Chain" and the joyous "Hello Mary Lou". Adulthood or not, Nelson could still rock with the best of them.
