DESCRIPTION
Every Album, Every Song
In this book, Opher Goodwin dissects Ian Dury's albums and songs to tease out their spirit and reveal the inspirations behind them. This is Ian Dury: a Blockhead, a genius."
"We only ever get glimpses of Ian Dury; nothing is as it seems. From irascible rogue to national treasure, pop star to social commentator, cockney geezer to artist, he was a man greater than the sum of his parts. Part teddy boy, part punk, part vaudeville act; he was unique. The music that emanates from this powerful personality echoes the heart and drive of their complex creator.
Dury began his career as a frontman with post-punk outfit Kilburn And The High Roads, but had his greatest success with backing band The Blockheads, which featured Chis Jankel and Wilko Johnson at various times. He found true commercial success with the albums New Boots And Panties and Do It Yourself. Dury went on to a critically acclaimed solo career and worked with The Blockheads again on the 1997 album Mr Love Pants. He also had a slew of non-album hits, especially the UK number one 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'.
In this book, Opher Goodwin dissects his albums and songs to tease out their spirit and reveal the inspirations behind them.
This is Ian Dury: a Blockhead, a genius."
