Deacon Blue - Hipsters

2012 album from the Scottish Pop band, their first studio album for 11 years. Deacon Blue were never hipsters but with six million album sales, 12 UK Top 40 singles and two #1 albums to their credit, they have been very successful and have always been adored by their fans. Their inspirational brand of soulful Scottish pop remains an enduring tonic for the troops. So, the Hipsters is a decidedly ironic title for the group's first studio album since Homesick in 2001. For beneath that faintly sardonic veneer is a collection of finely-tuned songs which finds Ricky Ross reflecting on the long-distance life and times of his group with a deep, thoughtful passion. Eg White (Adele, Will Young, Duffy, James Morrison, Joss Stone) contributes on 'Turn'.
