Product Details
Kevin Rowland spent decades crafting the sound of yearning into something visceral, from the brass-driven soul fury of "Come On Eileen" through the orchestrated heartbreak of "Don't Stand Me Down," one of the most criminally underappreciated records of the 1980s. "Love" arrives after a long silence, and it carries the weight of a man who has earned every word.
LOVE, Dexys Midnight Runners' latest-possibly last-ever-album, is a luminous collection of scenes and reckonings. Stories of family and friends; tales from past and present, all drawn from Kevin Rowland's life. Each is an individual jewel, threaded together with love. Stories of family and friends; tales from past and present. All drawn from Kevin Rowland's life, each an individual jewel threaded together with love. Songs begun three decades ago sit alongside those written in the last year. A vivid depiction of Rowland's Irish immigrant childhood (""My Life in England PT 1""); a moving letter to his grandchildren (""You're Alright""); a wistful moment at the start of a love affair (""I Want To Be Holding You Next Christmas""); a pin-perfect portrait of time spent with a dying parent (""Once A Man, Twice A Child""); and the difficulties of relationships when you're older (""Old Love""). All deeply personal, all true, all here; the full human span of relationships, family, and intimate emotion.
