"My interest in Billy Fury got started because I'm a Morrissey (aka Moz) fan and I read that Moz was heavily influenced by Billy Fury. Also I'm a big fan of Elvis Presley and '50s rock n roll and I heard Fury is England's answer to Elvis in the '50s. I was expecting a rocking rockabilly album. I didn't get that but I got a great ballad album. Fury was quite a crooner. If you like Roy Orbison you'll definately. Very well written, recorded and produced songs. I don't hear much of Fury's music in Moz's music but I do hear an influence in the way Moz deliver's his singing. It's cool Moz was influenced by an obscure artist such as Fury rather than just a big mainstream artist such as Moz. Every song on this CD is a gem and I really suggest you get this."
