Dexys Midnight Runners – Too-Rye-Ay (1982)
Too-Rye-Ay is the second studio album from Dexys Midnight Runners, released in 1982 on Mercury Records and produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley. A radical reinvention from the brass-heavy Northern soul of their debut, the album saw Kevin Rowland pivot to a Celtic folk sound — fiddles, dungarees and all — and the gamble paid off spectacularly. Come On Eileen became a UK and US #1 and one of the best-selling singles of 1982, while the album itself reached #2 in the UK. Passionate, eccentric and utterly original, it remains one of the most distinctive British albums of the decade and sounds wonderful on vinyl.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Come On Eileen — A UK and US #1 and one of the defining singles of the 1980s; the fiddle intro, building tempo and euphoric release make it an all-time classic that never fails to deliver on a good turntable.
- Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile) — A joyful, horn-driven cover of the Van Morrison classic; infectious and brilliantly arranged, it became a Top 5 hit in its own right.
- The Celtic Soul Brothers — The album opener and a statement of the new Dexys direction; urgent, fiddle-led and immediately compelling.
- Until I Believe in My Soul — An epic, emotionally raw Side B centrepiece running over seven minutes; one of Rowland's most ambitious and rewarding compositions.
- Let's Make This Precious — A soulful, tender ballad that provides a beautiful counterpoint to the album's more frenetic moments; a hidden gem for collectors.
