Got Dexys Midnight Runners new album and it is very, very good.
Kevin Rowland has a very smooth yet forceful and expressive voice.
He sounds somewhat like a cross between Ray Davies (Kinks) and
David Bowie.
Instruments include two violins, trombone, sax, piano, and electric
usuals (guitar, bass, etc.)
Lyrics are interwoven with instruments to a very sophisticated degree,
well above the level of most current pop/new-wave offerings. Favorite
cuts are 'The Celtic Soulbrothers' and 'Plan B', but they are all good.
Hope someone else enjoys this one.
