Our Take

Ah, Deacon Blue, the Scottish band that never fails to bring a smile to our faces with their infectious melodies and witty lyrics. Their debut album "Raintown" is a delightful blend of pop, rock, and folk that captures the essence of 80s Britain.

The opening track, "Born in a Storm," sets the tone for the album with its catchy hooks and clever wordplay. Ricky Ross' distinctive vocals shine throughout, offering a sense of nostalgia and longing that is both comforting and bittersweet.

"Raintown" is sprinkled with gems like "Dignity," a rousing anthem that will have you singing along in no time, and "Chocolate Girl," a charming ode to young love. Each track is expertly crafted, showcasing the band's tight musicianship and Ross' knack for storytelling.

The production on this album is top-notch, with lush arrangements and soaring harmonies that elevate each song to new heights. The blend of acoustic and electric instruments creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both vibrant and elegant.

Deacon Blue may not have achieved the same level of fame as some of their contemporaries, but "Raintown" proves that they deserve a place in the pantheon of great British bands. So grab a cup of tea, put on this album, and let Deacon Blue transport you to a rainy day in Glasgow – you won't regret it.
