'The only way to change things is to shoot men who arrange things of...' Dexys Midnight Runners have changed down the years. Ireland To Wolverhampton but dreaming of America. New album Love is rather lovely and unashamedly barmy. An inclusive, expansive dance. Towards the sunset.
The songs are less frantic and worked on than those of the early days . Searching For the Young Soul Rebels or Too Rye Aye. More akin to the slower pace the band have favoured since. But you get the sense that Kevin is more comfortable in his skin and wardrobe than he ever was.
There's very little here that is essential but it's all rather lovely and easy on the ear. Kevin has become a crooner. Everything has a race grace. ragged unashamed poise and beauty.For those who like a bit of ham with their ham. 'See you on the other side. '
