Free Music Review: Proclaimers Neither Gone nor Forgotten
Hit: 5 Stars
Scottish folk duo and twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reed hit pay dirt with their newest "Best Of..." CD. Rediscover all the brothers staggering songs again in this newly remastered compilation guaranteed to leave your toes tappin' and your head boppin'. Key tracks include "Letter from America," and of course their top 40s hit from "Sunshine on Leith" (and more popularly the 1993 film "Benny and Joon") - "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)." But, some of the best songs on this CD are the lesser-known tracks such as "Throw The `R' Away," one of the duos earliest songs and a defiant boot to the music business, which claimed they would never make it singing with their thick Scottish accents.
This isn't a greatest hit CD, so the pair have a valid excuse to include four new tracks including a bizarre cover, "The Doodle Song," a rocking version of another Scottish singer, Frankie Miller. Not to be missed is another cover, "King of the Road," which the twins had recorded for an Australian film way back when.
This is rock and roll at it's best!
The Best of The Proclaimers Poster
2002 compilation gleaned from the best of The Proclaimers four studio albums, 'This Is The Story' (1987), 'Sunshine On Leith' (1988), 'Hit The Highway' (1994), 'Persevere' (2001), one EP, 'King Of The Road' (1990), tracks only previously available on film soundtracks (including 'Letter From America', 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)', 'Get Ready' (taken from the 'Dumber And Dumber' soundtrack), & three new tracks (produced by Edwyn Collins) exclusive to this release, 'The Doodle Song', 'Ghost Of Love' & 'Lady Luck'. 20 tracks.It's clear from this 20-track retrospective that the Proclaimers have not developed at all since they began recording. Craig and Charlie Reid seem to believe they got it right the first time, and it's difficult to argue otherwise. The Proclaimers have stuck doggedly to their guns, refusing to forsake their treacle-thick Scottish accents (a decision they sing about on "Throw the R Away") or their worldview (witness titles such as "I Want to Be a Christian" or "Let's Get Married"). In their perverse and obstinate way, the Proclaimers are about as rock & roll as it gets. These are simple and direct songs, but they're great simple and direct songs, performed with unashamedly earnest passion by two extraordinary singers whose harmonies merit comparison with those of the Louvin and Righteous Brothers. --Andrew Mueller
