Our Take

It's no "500 Miles" journey to say that The Proclaimers have cemented their place in the pantheon of Scottish folk-rock with their album "This Is the Story." Released on National Album Day 2024, this record encapsulates all the charm, wit, and infectious energy that has made the Reid twins a beloved duo for over three decades. From the moment the first chords of "Throw the 'R' Away" hit your ears, you're transported to the rolling hills of Scotland, pint in hand, belting out lyrics about love, longing, and social commentary. The album is a masterclass in storytelling, with tracks like "Letter from America" and "Cap in Hand" painting vivid pictures of working-class life and the struggle for independence. But don't be fooled by the jangly guitars and jaunty melodies, there's a depth to The Proclaimers' music that goes beyond catchy hooks and sing-along choruses. Tracks like "Scotland's Story" and "Mistress T (The Ballad of Lisa White)" showcase the brothers' ability to tackle weighty subjects with a deft touch and a sly wink. So grab your kilt, pour yourself a wee dram, and let The Proclaimers take you on a musical journey like no other. "This Is the Story" is a timeless album that proves why these lads from Leith are national treasures. Trust me, you won't regret taking this musical trip with them.
