Review by Tiago Eduardo

Hold Back The River is the fourth studio album by Scottish band Wet Wet Wet. Released in 1989, the album features some of the band's most iconic and memorable songs.

The album opens with the title track, "Hold Back The River," a catchy and upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features the band's signature sound, with lead singer Marti Pellow's soulful vocals and the band's tight instrumentation.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Sweet Surrender," a slow ballad that showcases Pellow's emotive vocals, and "Stay With Me Heartache," a mid-tempo track that features a memorable guitar riff.

About Wet Wet Wet

Wet Wet Wet are a successful Scottish pop band and scored a number of hits in the British charts and around the world, mainly in the 1980s and 1990s. Formed in Clydebank, Scotland in 1986, they took their name from the Scritti Politti song, Gettin, havin' and holdin'. After a split in 1999, they reformed in 2004, releasing new material and touring. In July 2017 it was announced that Marti Pellow was leaving the band to concentrate on solo work. Kevin Simm was announced as new singer in September 2018. Tommy Cunningham and Neil Mitchell left the band in May 2022, with Graeme Duffin becoming official member at the same time after having been a semi-official tour and session musician with the Wets since their debut album.
