CD Reviews

'Do It Yourself' best captures the spirit of the times
J. Yeary | Oklahoma City | 12/07/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This release best captures the spirit of the times with its quirky sound of fused punk, new wave and disco.

Most people know the song "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll," another Dury song that captured the era, but the songs on Do It Yourself blended the mental state of the club kids I best knew at the time.

Alienited(sp) and counter-culture but not wanting to do much more than spend the evening on the dance floor.

I regard this album along with Remain In Light by Talking Heads, and the first B-52's album as the best reflection of the care-free times of my college days. ***Also: give Ian's son Baxter Dury a listen. His debut CD is fantastic.***"
