Good old Del
Catching up on some old favourites, I pulled this album out of the drawer and was instantly reminded of one of the few bands who kept music alive for me through the otherwise barren nineties. By all means get the albums - all great, but one cannot quibble about the standard of track on here, every one memorable (OK, apart from the Scotland world cup song "Don't come home too soon" - off course we did!), every one melodic, bitter sweet expertly played and sung - my god I miss these boys. I am reminded of the story (perhaps apocryphal - who knows?) of one of the reasons that they didn't sell as many records as they might because a famous national record store filed the band under "A" for Amitri, ie Del (first name) Amitri (Surname) Solo Artiste!
Hmmm, perhaps you had to be there..............
glad i found this album
i had only ever heard the song "driving with the brakes on" before buying this, i brought it on a whim. "driving with the brakes on" isnt the best on the album by far.
the best songs are, "nothing ever happens" its very lyrical, and best listened to a few times, would never sound dated, real good.
"spit in the rain" is very good
"just like a man" my favourite, a real mans song, a little moody, but just a brilliant energetic song.
this band should be more famous, there is no cheese or dated music on this album, all of it is good.
just buy it, its not well heard of, but its not obscure, its easy to listen to.
"stone cold sober" is brilliant too.
Great stuff!
I thought I only knew a couple of songs by Del Amitri ("Nothing Ever Happens" & "Last to Know") and purchased the CD purely on the merits of those songs. As I listened to it though many more sounded familiar...and those that I had not heard of I loved immediatly. The songs are full of catchy lyrics & melodies that you find yourself humming throughout the day. This CD now lives in my stereo on a full-time basis. I can't say that I am a Del Amitri fan on the sole basis of having their Greatest Hits CD but they are fantastic muso's and I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes up-beat, catchy tunes.
