Amazon.co.uk review
The royalties must have seemed tempting at the time--hell, they still must--but it’s got to feel galling to have written and recorded one of the genuinely great modern British soul songs, only to have it stolen from you and paraded in new bling from every speaker and screen. Anyone still under the impression that Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse cooked up the all-conquering "Valerie" themselves would be well advised to delve back into The Zutons’ small but stocky back catalogue for further gems and trinkets. Of course, it’s not all perfect--the fact that The Zutons are so very overcooked is both their appeal and their Achilles heel. There is generally too much in the way of cod-poetic sub-Beautiful South storytelling and bad jokes, too much throttled yelping, far too much saxophone and too little subtlety. But when the surplus is skimmed aside, what's left can form an indie-soul revue to knock your novelty socks off. Examples on You Can Do Anything include the hammering vocal back-and-forth of "Harder And Harder", the colourful, anthemic "Always Right Behind You" bouncing off Slade’s bell-bottoms and the riff-heavy Mott The Hoople-esque "Family Of Leeches". They’re still essentially The Coral in lounge suits, Gomez without the Americana infatuation, but they’ll be having the last laugh: on this evidence, they're a good few years away from the cruise ship circuit. --James Berry

CD Description
'You Can Do Anything' is the third album from cosmic scousers The Zutons. Yet another dose of ska'd up indie rock from the Liverpool five-piece, and one that manages to sound evenmore assured and soulful than their 2006 album 'Tired Of Hanging Around'. Includes the single 'Always Right Behind You'.

Customer Reviews

Felt indifferent at first, but it grows on you
I like the Zutons a lot. I've been a fan since their debut, Who Killed The Zutons, and loved how different their music was compared to the mainstream stuff that plagues the charts. Tired Of Hanging Around was an excellent follow up, albeit forcing some more chart friendly stuff in - the evolution was all-good however, and I had very high hopes for their third incarnation.

First impressions were not good. I had heard very little hype about the new album, and when I finally got to hear the single Always Right Behind You I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It's definitely one of the weaker songs on the album, and everything else sounded pretty mediocre on first play - certainly no Valerie in there.

But then, I'm often like that with music - I remembered on first play through I wasn't overly keen on the previous two albums either. A dozen listens later and my reservations have now disappeared - it is most definitely a grower.

Stand out tracks are: Harder and Harder, Dirty Rat, What's Your Problem, You Could Make The Four Walls Cry, Family Of Leeches, Freak. Don't let first impressions put you off, give it a chance and it'll be your driving soundtrack for months to come.

Fantastic!
I totally agree with all the reviews already written here. Yes after playing the previous album to death on our holiday and thinking how can they match this........they bleedin well have!

It did take 2-3 proper listens, but now I'm hailing this the best album of the year so far (well until Kings of Leon bring their next CD out in Sept!!)

I keep trying to force myself away from it in the fear of overplaying it. And when I play other music, I can't wait to get The Zutons back in my ears again.

Every track is a winner. Even the weaker ones have some form of brilliance at some point in the track.

Very catchy, brilliant, I recommend it to all.

You'll be hooked by third listen...
This album is yet another fun, lively and ridiculous set of songs from the Zutons. (And I mean that in the best possible way!) Ranging from subjects such as a man having an affair with his maid all the way to the story of a male prostitute, and back again to someone trying to seek revenge; I thoroughly like this album and would recommend it to anyone.
