Dexy's Midnight Runners - Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
The crackling stations being switched on the radio and the gang shout followed by the spoken injunction to "burn it down" sound like they should be starting off a Sham 69 record. Then "Burn It Down" actually starts, with its horn section, Hammond organ and Kevin Rowland's utterly unconventional soul vocals. The cult of Dexy's, and this album in particular, were worshipped as the return of "soul" to English rock music at the dawn of Thatcherism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexys_Midnight_Runners
