Off To A Fantastic Start
songs like; "Throw the 'R' Away", "Sky Takes The Soul", "The Joyful Kilmarnonk Blues", and of course "Letter From America". I'm a HUGE Proclaimers fan and this album holds a few of my all time fave. I can listen to this album from beginning to end without wanting to skip over a single song! It's truely one of the best CD I have in my whole collection! I highly recommend this album!.


It's great
They're no one-hit-wonder band. Great album, definitely worth buying if you like anything else by the Proclaimers. Particular stand-outs: 'Throw the R Away' and 'Burn your Playhouse Down,' which are catchy and funny, and 'Letter from America,' which is poignant and just good music. Talented singers, great harmony.


Fantastic
" I can't stop listening to this CD. I just bought this after hearing "Over and Done With" in the movie "Bottle Rocket. Track 4 - "The Part that Really Matters" - is wonderful. Several great songs.


Brilliant Debut
This says a lot particularly since it's almost entirely acoustic (one song, "Letter From America" gets the full band treatment). The Proclaimers first album is a powerful statement. The Proclaimers are unashamedly Scottish and, unlike Sheena Easton, do not try to mask their accents. The first track, "Throw the R Away" makes lighthearted fun of their thick accents to the backbeat of a Buddy Holly riff. The songs on this album run the gamut from love to politics to spirituality. While there isn't a "500 Miles" on this disc, there are many powerful songs. The Reid brothers harmonies are in full swell here. A must have for any music fan.
