Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Saw Paulo live in Switzerland. Bought the CD and like it more each time I play it!
 Non stop listening August 18, 2010

Was bought this album as a gift after having received Paolo's second album ' Sunny Side Up' as a gift earlier in the year. Liked the second album but 'These Streets' is even better. Took it on holiday with us and played it non stop. The kids now know all the words. Songs stick with you for days after listening to the CD so be warned!

I bought this and one other as a birthday present for a family member. I thought I was buying the item as new not pre-owned. I had to explain this to the recipient and was not very pleased at having done so. I must look closer to what I am buying from Amazon in future.

Definitely worth a listen! May 2, 2010

This album was bought for me as a birthday present from my wife as I had mentioned liking a couple of the songs. Having only heard a few of the singles from this album I was a little apprehensive before playing it for the first time. I really should not have worried because every song on here is well crafted and easy on the ear and the CD has been in the car stereo ever since. Poalo Nutini's voice is very distinctive and his individuality comes through in spades. Many of the songs have a 'straight from the heart' feel to them. I am thoroughly impressed and would recommend These Streets to all; definitely worth a listen!!!
