5.0 out of 5 stars Ahh...How About Awesome!, January 30, 2000

How these two Scotsmen escaped deity status I will never know. Their talent is overwhelming. More intelligent, introspective, self-empowering, self-effacing, humerous tunes do not exist-period. This CD has harmonies (and lyrics) that will break your heart.Their geeky persona's are clearly a put-on, every tune radiates the confidence of proud men who clearly have mastered their craft. Above all else, this CD rocks harder than the Indigo Girls on Scottish Whiskey. I have since purchased their two preceeding CD's and have only rave commentary for "The Proclaimers" (check out "This is the Story" for an acoustic masterpiece). If you buy one CD this year, make it a "Proclaimers" CD-any one. They truly stand alone.

The Proclaimers are two scottish brothers who love life, their women and God. Each song is a testiment to the way we should all live and love; honestly.

This review is from: Hit the Highway (Audio CD)

This album, supported by a U.S. tour, is perhaps the highest-energy Proclaimers offering to date, delivered on the heels of their unexpected attention for the song "500 Miles" that appeared in "Benny and Joon." The Reid brothers are nothing if not themselves, with strong Scottish accents and concerns about family, religion, work and Scotland, all expressed in song. They tip a cap to their blues roots by covering Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine," but the true gems are "Shout, Shout" and "Don't Turn Out Like Your Mother."
