His songwriting chops are still sound, and they’re apparent on the first track, “You Can’t Go Back.” His voice hasn’t lost a bit in 20 years. He’s released four solo albums which could have been lost Del Amitri albums.
The Scottish pop-rockers have been on hiatus since their last album, 2002’s Can You Do Me Good?
