These Streets

Paolo Nutini, the singer/songwriter from Paisley, Scotland, was just 19 years old when he launched These Streets, his debut album. Even at such a tender age, Nutini’s songs suggested he knows an awful lot about the vagaries of life and love, and demonstrated his unique gift for expressing in song the attitudes and experiences of someone so young. This album matching songbook features all songs from the album, arranged for piano, voice and guitar.These Streets records his experiences of moving to London, a song which wistfully name checks the places in which he grew up and is sure to strike a chord with anyone who has ever lived in bedsit-land. Many of the songs on the album, including Last Request and Rewind, were inspired by a turbulent relationship with a girlfriend, and Jenny Don’t Be Hasty is a true story about encounters with an older woman.
