Despite what the one-hit status of Dexys in the U.S. might be, Kevin Rowland is a true musical genius. His 3rd and final album with Dexys, "Don't Stand Me Down," is a masterpiece of 80s pop and, in my opinion, one of the greatest albums of the era (it even has a 12-minute epic in "What She's Like"). A shame he's only recognized for this one song.

Understandably many groups change the key of songs to reflect an ageing voice - I don’t think I’ve heard it done it better than this. That Kevin retains his ability to entertain in the same way several tones down is testimony to his singular talent. And just look at how great this lot look. Dignified eccentricity. Lovely.

Kevin had some bumps in his career that he acknowledged in a recent past... I'm happy that Dexys came back, I would've hate seeing Rowland only being remembered as the "80's guy in a dress in the 90's" or the "eccentric one hit wonder". The press can be ruthless. When I saw their debut album and "Don't Stand Me Down" featured on the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" in 2007 I knew the full recognition would come sooner or later.
