The Proclaimers - Hit The Highway (1994) [Complete CD] UK

Hit the Highway is the third studio album by the Scottish folk rock duo the Proclaimers, released in March 1994 by Chrysalis Records. It took them six years to follow their second album, Sunshine on Leith. The album included three singles: "Let's Get Married", "What Makes You Cry?" and "These Arms of Mine". It topped the charts in Scotland, debuting in the top-10 in the UK while also charting in Austria, Canada and Sweden.

The album's sound continued in the band-based rock vein of its immediate predecessor Sunshine on Leith. Featuring elements of blues, country, gospel, R&B, rockabilly and soul, its style was compared favourably to traditional American music and to 1960s pop. The album's lyrics eschewed the political themes of previous works and instead had a heavy focus on spirituality.
