Background
"Amarillo" was recorded in Amarillo, Texas on 23 October. The song features instrumentals from The Clash band member Mick Jones.
Critical reception
NME gave the single a positive review saying "Amarillo is a slow, yet euphoric song that finds Damon's reverb-laden voice evocatively recalling America's vast great interior. One of the more fully formed songs on the album, you get a vivid portrait of a songwriter from the British Isles getting his mind around one of the world's largest open spaces."
