Average Rating:
 Rating:  - good harmonies and lyrics but many tracks sound similar to one anotherThe harmonies and lyrics of these songs are great.But too many of them sound alike.These guys are good.But this cd is a case of twins producing quads or quintuplets!It would be nice to hear them singing with someone else. Rating:  - Flatten all the vowels and throw the R away!What can be said about the Reid brothers that hasn't already been said? Just have a listen to this album and you will find a number of things to be true, firstly - these guys REALLY MEAN IT! next up, there is no 80's style over production to get in the way of these songs. Finally no other band can have you smiling and laughing at one moment to be crying the next, only to repeat the whole exercise over and over throughout the whole album! Just buy it! Rating: - You will be suprised how great this album is........ since the late 80's, i always had The Proclaimers down as "the scottish blokes with glasses who sung 'letter from America" and basically that was it. A few years ago i seen this album in a sale and decided to get it for a joke. I was blown away completely. I had bought it to sing along to 'letter to america' for a laugh, but when i played it, realised i had missed out on,no joking, probably one of the top 20 albums easily of all time. Leave whatever predudices you have about these two at the door, they are a classic band and this album isn't a one off - the next 4 albums after this are just as good.... Rating:  - Acoustic and loud....I saw this wonderful act in Dublin 1986 supporting the Housemartins. They were as good as any live act I have ever seen since. They believed so much in their own unique sound and they certainly surprised 4,000 Housemartin fanatics. On this album are the main highlights from that very memorable cold October night. 'Misty Blue" is a beautiful, slow love song. "Letter from America" (folk and band version) needs no introduction at this stage...possibly the most poignant tribute to emigration you'll ever hear. "The first attack" is fantastic; the acoustic chords coupled with affecting harmonies.... You'll find yourself singing along, so infectious is it. My favourite track is "Sky takes the Soul"....if ever a song made you want to take up playing ...

Mix of moderately jumpy tunes with some classical folk art...great to drink a pint to and relax on a hot summer night with you best girl at your side and your pup at your feet...drinking old Alex Keith's pub draught... |
