Arab Strap returns featuring cover versions of Van Halen ("Why Can't This Be Love") and AC/DC ("You Shook Me All Night Long") plus four originals this Scottish group gives a masterful presentation of a folky sound and melancholic guitars. Primarily acoustic - its perfect for a rainy autumn afternoon.
