CD ReviewsREAL music Theo Ballgame | Cambria, CA United States | 01/10/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "As with The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, The Clash and many more, I first heard '500 Miles' on the radio. In less than a minute I thought,"WHO are these giys...?!" The song jumped out of my radio and my foot and butt were moving without giving it a thought...wow.REAL music--pure emotion, energy, and so needed in the world today, JOY, unabashed joy. The boys harmonies are so clean, their songwriting interesting and well crafted--except for a couple of duds (I never liked 'King of the Road'--even when it was a hit 40 years ago) the CD is packed with pretty songs and upbeat mood-changers. I bought it for '500 Miles' (the louder the better!)and have played that song at least once a day for the last week or so, but there gems all over this CD. You can't lose!" Excellent Collection. A Must Have!!! SOGWAP | Somewhere in the USA | 10/04/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "As Matt Lucas puts it on the CD jacket: it makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it makes me generally euphoric. This is an awesome collection. If you are not already a fan, you will be. The mix is perfect. I got so hooked. I own all of their CD's, but this one makes it easy to hear it all in one place. The notes these guys hit and the harmony they achieve is unmatchable. You will laugh, cry, sing along and smile a lot. You won't be sorry. From "Letter from America" to "Let's Get Married". You just can't get enough." Proclaimers Neither Gone nor Forgotten J. Dzwigalski | San Francisco, CA USA | 07/27/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Scottish folk duo and twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reed hit pay dirt with their newest "Best Of..." CD. Rediscover all the brothers staggering songs again in this newly remastered compilation guaranteed to leave your toes tappin' and your head boppin'. Key tracks include "Letter from America," and of course their top 40s hit from "Sunshine on Leith" (and more popularly the 1993 film "Benny and Joon") - "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)." But, some of the best songs on this CD are the lesser-known tracks such as "Throw The `R' Away," one of the duos earliest songs and a defiant boot to the music business, which claimed they would never make it singing with their thick Scottish accents.This isn't a greatest hit CD, so the pair have a valid excuse to include four new tracks including a bizarre cover, "The Doodle Song," a rocking version of another Scottish singer, Frankie Miller. Not to be missed is another cover, "King of the Road," which the twins had recorded for an Australian film way back when. This is rock and roll at it's best!"
