This disc has all of the essential Amy MacDonald classics. nine years ago, Amy MacDonald briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Footballer’s Wife”. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Amy MacDonald on ‘The Road To Home’. To me Amy MacDonald is the best band ever.
Footballer’s Wife gives taste of what makes Amy MacDonald special as a musician. Get This Is the Life and turn on A Wish For Something More if you are going to sip your wine late at night. I love the melodic melody of L.A. and to this day it makes me feel good. Barrowland Ballroom great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Let’s Start A Band - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. In Run it becomes nowhere more obvious that Amy MacDonald has yet to define own style. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Poison Prince is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. This Is The Life is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Mr Rock N Roll on This Is the Life is solid and easy to listen to.
