Review
Rock and Pop CDs:
The Proclaimers - Born Innocent (Persevere)
By Graeme Virtue
MAYBE it’s the bracing, box-fresh production by Edwyn Collins. Or
maybe I’m just getting old. Whatever it is, the new album from The
Proclaimers sounds terrific, effortlessly combining all the attributes
that have made them Scotland’s best-loved band; it’s defiant,
vibrant, witty and catchy. And while there’s nothing here to quite
match stone-cold classics like Letter From America or I’m Gonna
Be (500 Miles), the cheerfully self-lacerating Hate My Love approaches
that skyscraping level. Perhaps the whimsical Dear Deirdre – addressed
to the famous agony aunt – is a bit throwaway, but the other 12
tracks (including a yodel-tastic cover of Five O’Clock World by
The Vogues) are brash and boisterous. Next month, we’ll hear new
albums from Texas and Travis. But they’ll struggle to match this
gem from Craig and Charlie.

Album reviews
Record of the Week
BORN INNOCENT *****
(Five Stars)
The Proclaimers
Persevere Persreccd09, £14.99
Three albums in as many years from the Reid twins? No, surely and emphatically
not shome mishtake, but the most composed and confident record the twins
have made in a 16-year career, one which sounds like it was influenced
by The Proclaimers and not their country, soul and gospel heroes.
Bookended by the strident title track and the sublime ‘There’s
No Doubt’ facing down the ageing process with a bristling honesty,
this is an unapologetic and admirable piece of work.
Recorded by Edwyn Collins in his hi-tech retro home studio, this is indeed
an old fashioned rock record with old fashioned rock values, enlivened
by the distinctive sound of their own touring band.
Stevie Christie’s keyboard squeezes extra heartbreak from the aching
‘Unguarded Moments’, the Reids amazingly yodel in harmony
on a speeded-up bluesy version of The Vogues’ ‘Five O’
Clock World’, while Stuart Nisbet’s guitar thrashes out the
punk rock protest that is ‘Blood On Your Hands’.
Then we have ‘Hate My Love’, a venomous kiss-off of a song
that Elvis Costello would be proud to have in his songbook, though even
he might have stopped short of the killer couplet, "You’re
worse than drink, You’re worse than crack, For you they should bring
hanging back". The fact they chose it as the first single is a statement
of intent, and you should ignore the older, wiser, angrier Reid brothers
at your peril. Colin Somerville
