Review

Blender (Magazine) (p.82) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "If her message echoes the mid-'60s battle cries of Bob Dylan and the Who, her tunes, which exclude no one, are almost as light and catchy as ABBA's greatest hits."

Title Note

Personnel: Amy MacDonald (vocals, acoustic guitar); Seton Daunt, Jolyon Dixon (electric 6-string guitar); Laura Melhuish, Richard George, Jonathan Hill (violin); Susan Dench, Chris Tumbling (viola); Matina Nagel, Audrey Riley (cello); Jamie Sefton (saxophone, trumpet, flugelhorn, bass guitar); Peter Wilkinson (piano, keyboards, percussion, programming); Adam Falkner (drums, percussion); Sarah Erasmus (background vocals).

Audio Mixers: Danton Supple; Bob Clearmountain.

Scottish troubadour Amy MacDonald was a mere 20 years old when her debut, THIS IS THE LIFE, was released in 2008. Her youth shows in the feisty spirit and headstrong ambition of the songs (on "Let's Start a Band" she sings "Rolling Stone, here I come"), but the confidence of the songwriting is that of a seasoned musician. MacDonald's sound is rooted in folk (she plays acoustic guitar throughout), but there's a toughness here that indicates she was reared on rock & roll, and the combination is a winning one. THIS IS THE LIFE is intimate, catchy, reflective, and rousing all at once.
