‘Whole Wide World’ is the best track from The Proclaimers most recent album ‘Life With You’. The thing I find most amusing about this fact is that ‘Whole Wide World’ is in fact a cover of a Wreckless Eric track, and aside from this one track I have nothing positive to say about the bands album whatsoever. Credit where credit’s due though; The Proclaimers have done a good job of covering this track and despite just how much the vocals of The Proclaimers do grate on me, I must concede that I do actually quite like this one and have listened to it quite a number of times. Whilst The Proclaimers will not be everyone’s cup of tea and are in fact not mine either, there is no denying that this is a well produced and well constructed cover of a track which is now more than thirty years old.
