Fellow Hoodlums is the third studio album by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue, released in 1991.[1] It includes four singles: "Your Swaying Arms", the Top 10 hit "Twist and Shout", "Closing Time" and "Cover from the Sky".
It reached no. 2 in the UK Albums Chart in 1991, spending over six months in the listing.[2]
The Washington Post wrote: "Unfortunately, no visceral emotions come through the music -- the singing is too bland, the playing is too safe and the sentiments are too predictable. The result is the kind of middle-brow artsiness favored by Sting and Joe Jackson; the listener can believe that something serious is going on without actually being challenged in any way."[3]
All songs written by Ricky Ross, except where noted:
On 22 October 2012, Edsel Records released a deluxe remastered edition of the album, featuring a bonus CD of material and a DVD containing videos.
