Thanks: Gave 705, Got 434 | Deacon Blue - Raintown, wot a fab album!
Just dug this out of the rack, not really sure why but it really is a fantastic album! Not a duff track on there and classics like Dignity. If you haven't heard it I recommend you give it a try!

I used to really like Deacon Blue and saw them live about 15 years ago. I have this album but have not listened to it for ages, might juist have to now

Raintown is very very good 
Unfortunately it was all downhill for DB after that thought they did have a few other classics like Fergus Sings The Blues
The drummer Dougie Vipond is now a presenter for BBC Scotland Sport, the wummin is an actress on a BBC soap called River City and the keyboard died recently
Did get a Ricky Ross solo CD af ew years back for 50p sealed | |

Wasn't the wummin Ricky's wife ?
I remember seeing them both together at a Springsteen show in Edinburgh on the Tom Joad tour.

couldn't believe how much I paid for this album, sticker on there, bought from Andys Records for the princely sum of £13.49 and this must have been at least 10 years ago! How we can really complain about the price of a CD is beyond me....
