DEL AMITRI – Can You Do Me Good? (Reissue)

LP – 180g Black Vinyl (2025 Reissue).

By 2002, the pop world had turned; four years earlier, Del Amitri had released Hatful Of Rain, their greatest hits collection marking more-or-less a decade of success. Can You Do Me Good? relied on keyboards, samples and drum machines as much as previous albums centered on electric and acoustic guitars. Featuring its soulful lead single “Just Before You Leave”, Can You Do Me Good? is truly fascinating, and could well have been the group’s biggest album ever had it come five years earlier. “I’ve got cash and prizes, but I don’t know who I am,” Currie sings on “Cash & Prizes”; and the song seems to encapsulate the album.
