Thoughts

Oh this is an excellent album. The Beautiful South in any of their various forms are right up my street and this has some real classic songs on it. You Keep It All In is a proper favourite, but it starts out well with Song for Whoever too. All the songs have that unique story-telling you associate with this band, and they have a variety of voices to choose from in this era, so you always get the best that suits each song. Love it.
