Hit the Highway

The Proclaimers

A soulful pivot toward gospel and R&B influences. Twin harmonies meet Hammond organs and driving backbeats for a record that feels like a long, honest drive.

It's like Otis Redding grew up in Fife and started a folk-rock band with his twin brother.

A soulful and earnest meditation on faith, family, and the road ahead.
