Del Amitri

 

 

Del Amitri are a band from Scotland who started in the early '80s, an unfashionable folk-rock-pop group who scored a minor hit in 1989 with "Kiss This Thing Goodbye." Their sound was just right for the '90s, though, and their biggest hits "Always The Last To Know" and "Roll To Me" fit perfectly beside bands like Counting Crows and The Wallflowers.

Singer/songwriter Justin Currie has perfected that slightly rustic acoustic guitar/organ sound, with occasional strings, that always feels like sitting on the back porch while the Autumn leaves fall. He is second to none in whatever subgenre that is.
