Amy Macdonald

About this product

A Curious Thing is Amy Macdonald's full-voiced, rebooted, and re-energised second album. This Deluxe 2CD Version includes the live recording from Amy’s triumphant homecoming show at Glasgow Barrowlands in December 2007, available in its entirety for the first time!

Months, miles, club shows, pub shows, halls, theatres, festivals, encores, second encores: through good old-fashioned gigging, word-of-mouth enthusiasm and constant, overwhelming radio play (notably for the internationally ubiquitous singles Mr Rock and Roll and This Is The Life), Amy Macdonald went from being an unknown teenage Scottish singer- songwriter to international star.

Being the ever- restless songwriter she’s been from her early teens, she’s alchemised those experiences into the sound of her second album, A Curious Thing. The album’s title, she explains, is taken from new song 'No Roots': “this life I lead, it’s a curious thing but I can’t deny the happiness it brings”. It’s a reflection on the strange turns her life has taken in the four years since she signed a record deal.
