Review by Nick Frontiero

Album Review: Once Bitten Twice Shy I Need You by JigSaw JigSaw’s Once Bitten Twice Shy I Need You isn’t your run-of-the-mill rock album. Released in 1977 under the Hi-Hat label, this Finnish gem blends raw Rock & Roll energy with a touch of grit that feels like it was made for dimly lit bars and long road trips. Produced by Tommi Liuhala, the record captures a vibe that’s both unpolished and unforgettable—a testament to its time and place. The title track, “One Bitten, Twice Shy,” kicks things off with a punchy riff that grabs you right away. It’s one of those songs where you can almost picture the band sweating it out on stage, feeding off each other's energy. The guitar work is sharp but not overdone, leaving just enough room for the vocals to shine through. What sticks with me most is how catchy yet simple the chorus is—you don’t need fancy tricks when the hook hits this hard. Then there’s “I Need You,” which slows things down a bit but still packs an emotional wallop. This track feels more introspective, almost like a late-night conversation with someone who’s got nothing left to lose. The lyrics aren’t groundbreaking, sure, but they hit home because they’re real. And honestly? That solo near the end? Chills. Pure, unfiltered rock magic. What makes this album stand out is its authenticity. There’s no pretense here—just three tracks (yeah, it’s short) that deliver exactly what they promise. It’s easy to imagine these guys playing dive bars across Finland back in the day, winning over crowds with sheer heart rather than flashy production. Funny thing about Once Bitten Twice Shy I Need You: it reminds me that sometimes less really is more. In an era where albums often feel bloated with filler, JigSaw proves that even a mini-album can leave a lasting impression. Though let’s be honest—it’d be nice if they’d thrown in a couple more tunes! Still, as far as forgotten relics go, this one deserves a spot in any true rock fan’s collection. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and give it a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself humming “One Bitten, Twice Shy” for days.
