River City People have been cruelly judged by time. This their debut sparked the friction which gave birth to 'This Is The World'. However this album has gems that I would put up against any other pop band ever (No Doubt, What's Wrong With Dreaming & Home and Dry). Later versions of this album came packaged with a cover of Califonia Dreamin', an attempt by the record company to promote the band to a wider audience. They needn't have bothered; Siobaghn Mahers' silky vocals layered magically over Tim Speeds' fantastic arpeggios creates a lush pop heaven.

If you like this then buy This Is The World and one of the singles from Say Something Good, When I was Young; it has the best B-side ever recorded in History. If you like pop, PROPER POP, not some child star dancing around but pure souls who can sing and write then BUY THIS ALBUM. You will not regret it.

I have seen river city people in concert many times and this album is exactly how I remember them, the vocals,guitar playing and drumming on the album is no different. What you hear on the album was what you got live, very different with todays bands. I have had this album stolen from me recently and I am trying to obtain another copy as soon as possible.

If you enjoy female vocalists, you should definately give them a listen. Crafty songs with undeniable appeal! Clean sounding guitar that complements the singer's voice which bears some resemblance to Natalie Merchant, 10,000 Maniacs.
