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 Review: Best Album In Decades - Bought this album for wife's birthday in early February and have since listned to it at least 50 times. My wife has probably listened to it 500 times by now. We just love it. To me the appeal lies partly in Nutini's vocal qualities (reminiscent of Paul McCartney), partly on the intelligence of the lyrics (clever rhymes and unusual word choices), and partly the authoritative, graceful arrangements. Each song is a finished work, a burnished gem, not some work-in-progress thrown in to fill space. Thematically, the songs as a group convey the youthful joy in love and sex, innocence and sincerity, compassion and optimism--much like the best of that golden era of 1967-1973 when most of the really good rock-pop-r&b was being played on the then-new FM stations. Stylistically, I'm hearing The Beatles, Michael Bolton/Otis Redding, and maybe a little of Van Morrison. In short, it's highly original yet warmly familiar. My favorite tracks are Last Request, These Streets and Millions, but there's not a lemmon in the bunch. I haven't been able to repeatedly listen to an album without getting good and sick of a few of the songs since about 1973. That's why I say it's the best album in decades. My wife and I are looking forward to the next one. I hope his touring schedule isn't making it too difficult to write. If it takes him a while, it will be worth the wait. Review: Simply tremendous album - I found out about Paolo on the web by sheer accident on YouTube. What an amazing soulful and mature voice he has, even at 19 (now 20). Other than Amos Lee and Martin Sexton and Stereophonics, I've not come across an artist recently whose lyrics and command of his voice is so perfect. Paolo knows just what his scottish accent works best on. I am distantly reminded of a young Rod Stewart, in the time of the Faces, way before he went mainstream pop and disco, and when he was a wee rocking lad. Saw him live in Seattle, frankly, his live stuff is way better (as good as this album is!!!). See the live stuff he's done on YouTube (the stuff his crew has released, not the cell phone concert tapings of 15 year olds) and you have to agree that Paolo is the best thing to come out of Scotland in years. Hint, the last track (Alloway Groove) is actually three songs, separated by about a minute or three of silence. At about 12:00 min into the song and after a few minutes of silence, suddenly you hear Paolo do an acoustic version of Last Request.

Amazing..... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal Talent *by J***S on October 21, 2007* My purchase of this CD from Amazon was an example of outstandingly good fate, since I bought it as a package recommendation on a whim without listening to any of it. Paolo Nutini impresses me as an exceptionally gifted young musician. It's hard to describe what makes him uniquely absorbing. He has a great voice, writes interesting songs, and all. But there is something more to me. He conveys to me a genuine love for making music and for whom much comes quite naturally. Some of his songs have great lyrics, but are really short on verses. He pulls it off by resinging the same lines but transforming them with the accent, tempo, or melody. I have not yet seen him perform, but know and have heard from those who have, that he is phenomenal. What I do know from experience is my "favorite" song on the album keeps changing, always a great sign to me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/19390391-these-streets](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/19390391-these-streets) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
