Release Notes:

Two years after Tired Of Hanging Around, the album that made
them a family name (or at least the album that contained their
hit Valerie, which, when covered by you-know-who, paid off
their mortgages), the Zutons return in a bullish mood. Again.
You Can Do Anything seems to continue where the previous album
left off. Their initially cuddly exterior, soon gives way to
some very urban paranoia and angst.

Hidden amongst the retro riffs, horn squawks and lustily sung
choruses are tales of scroungers (Family Of Leeches)
infidelity (Dirty Rat), intolerance (You Can Make The Four
Walls Cry) and sheer bloody violence (What\'s Your Problem,
Bumbag). Add to this the tales of rent boys (Freak) and you
soon cotton on that this is not a pretty picture of modern
Britain that the band want you take home with you. And it\'s
all delivered with that great yearning scouse voice of Dave
McCabe that helps overcome the overwhelming kitchen-sink
squalor of it all sometimes.

Musically it\'s definitely business as usual, and the departure
of guitarist Boyan Chowdbury seems to have merely spurred them
on to greater guitar madness. Always Right Behind You boasts
some killer slide. Mind you, the saxophone of Abi Harding
still seems a little too basic at times. More and more you
suspect she\'s there for the wrong reasons. She may provide
contextual eye candy for male fans, but sometimes the little
musical texture that she does add is frankly negligible.

But no matter. The Zutons are, you\'ll be relieved to know, on
fine form. And maybe this time around they can keep the big
hitters for themselves.
