Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Too-Rye-Ay, the sophomore album from the infamous Kevin Rowland and his band of merry men, Dexys Midnight Runners. This record is like a rollercoaster ride through the British music scene of the 1980s, complete with brass sections, fiddles, and Rowland's unmistakable wailing vocals.
From the opening track "The Celtic Soul Brothers" to the iconic anthem "Come On Eileen," this album is a whirlwind of energy and emotion that never lets up. Rowland's lyrics are poetic and heartfelt, with themes of love, loss, and the struggles of everyday life.
The production on this album is top-notch, with a raw, unpolished sound that perfectly captures the band's passion and intensity. The brass and strings add a layer of depth and richness to the music, creating a full-bodied sound that is both nostalgic and timeless.
But it's Rowland's vocals that truly steal the show on Too-Rye-Ay. His gravelly, emotive voice is a force to be reckoned with, conveying a depth of feeling and emotion that is truly captivating.
Overall, Too-Rye-Ay is a classic album that should not be overlooked. With its infectious energy, heart-wrenching lyrics, and unique blend of musical styles, it's no wonder that Dexys Midnight Runners are still celebrated as one of the greatest bands to come out of the UK. Cheers to Kevin Rowland and the gang for creating a masterpiece that truly stands the test of time. Bravissimo!
