This is such a great album. I agree it is the most under-rated and overlooked album ever. Unfortunately no one will ever read what I'm saying here because it is so under-rated and overlooked. Pure genious.
There are some really good tracks on it but Curries involvement really sets it up a few notches. And bloke who hates del amitri has obviously never heard much of it. Currie is a rare talent and although he would be first to call his music 'mainstream' the quality of his vocals, his thoughtful and intelligent lyrics and his vitriol certainly make him a giant amongst his devoted admirers. If only more people got to listen ti him.
Incredibly, I came across these guys while doing a search for Gilbert O'Sullivan on Spotify! I heard that track, then found the whole album. Yes, it is a Rutle like work of genius, that is sadly unknown. It may well have its day though if enough people spread the word!
Absolutely. Currie is the single best songwriter I can think of. If Dylan can be awarded a Nobel Prize, then Currie should definitely. "I want to be kissed in the haze of this hotel room / Before the evening steals the afternoon / And the daylight does and the dusty sky gets rusted up with tungsten...." I mean, just superb, and it wasnt even one of Del Amitri's proper hits. Makes a fellow proud to be Scottish

This is such a great album, I have the CD but its not on Spotify. It still sounds fresh!

It sounds very good and catchy! Very enjoyable at any time!

She cuts her own fringe is my favourite track, it is one of the best songs ever.
Wow same (she said, stumbling upon this a literal decade too late)
This must surely be the most underrated video on all of youtube
Great Album - "I had a drink about you last night" is the work of an inspired genius.
