The review praises Danny Wilson's 1987 debut Meet Danny Wilson for its melodic sophistication and emotional depth. Gary Clark is highlighted as a gifted songwriter and singer. The singles "Davy" and "Mary's Prayer" are cited as chart-reaching highlights. The album is compared to the work of Prefab Sprout and Steely Dan in blending lightness and depth.

For:Fans of melodic 1980s pop, sophisti-pop, and Scottish songwriting.

Scotland, for those who love passions that smolder under the ashes, gentle melancholies, joys unshouted, "bittersweet" nostalgias, is, more than a geographical region, a place of the soul.
