''This Is the Life'' is a solo album from Scottish rock musician Ricky Ross, a member of Deacon Blue. Ross produced the album with Kenny MacDonald, who has produced for Deacon Blue in the past. Perhaps as a result, this solo album is less divergent from the typical Deacon Blue style than are Ross' previous two solo albums, ''New Recording'' and ''What You Are''. The sound is not a carbon copy of Deacon Blue, however. The album has more touches of folk and country music and the general mood of the album is more placid than most of the Deacon Blue catalog. Deacon Blue colleague James Prime plays piano on "The Way to Work", and Ross' wife and another Deacon Blue colleague Lorraine McIntosh contributes vocals to a single song (as she did on each of Ross' three prior solo albums), "Nothing Cures That". This is the first Ricky Ross solo album to receive a US release, albeit on a minor label. Hip-hop artist, Rick Ross (who shares a similar name), has a song titled "This Is the Life" on his album ''Trilla''. ==Track listing== All songs written by Ricky Ross, except where noted. #"Northern Soul" (Ross, Charlie Dore) – 6:34 #"London Comes Alive" (Ross, Mick Slaven) – 3:33 #"Rodeo Boy" (Ross, Davie Scott) – 4:32 #"Angel and Mercedes" (Ross, Slaven) – 5:05 #"I Sing About You" (Ross, Slaven) – 4:28 #"Nothing Cures That" – 4:26 #"This Is the Life" – 6:01 #"Threatening Rain" – 3:05 #"Starring Love" – 3:56 #"Hippy Girl" – 3:48 #"My Girl Going to Town" (Ross, Scott) – 5:13 #"Looking for My Own Lone Ranger" (Ross, Dore) – 2:29 #"The Way to Work" – 4:54 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「This Is the Life (Ricky Ross album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
