Ian Dury, like Ray Davies and Paul Weller was a very English talent. The colorful, metropolis-inhabiting characters like Billericay Dickie or Plaistow Patricia he sung about, and the ever so cockney music hall accent he chose to sing in, were a big part of that. But mostly, it was the detailed, poetic way he cataloged English life and the melting pot of musical styles he used to do so, from punk and funk to jazz and rock'n'roll, which left no doubt that Dury's work could only come from one place: The very heart of England. So few were surprised when after his death Sir Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Madness and more all lined up to pay their respects with cover versions of some of his best loved songs. You'll find plenty of them here, in their original versions, culled from his entire career from the mid-'70s with pub rockers Kilburn & the High Roads through the golden years with the majestic Blockheads right up to the last studio recordings at the start of the '90s. 2 CD set is comprised of 34 tracks. Music Club. 2005.

Ian Dury & The Music Students. - 4000 Weeks Holiday (1983) [2013] Music

Posted by JET 1 at May 30, 2020

Most of Ian Dury's albums are pretty easy to find…except "4000 Weeks Holiday." This is very frustrating for the many who have collected everything possible (from bootlegs to Baxter Dury and back) and fondly remember seeing Ian and his Blockheads perform live.

It’s a wonderful irony that the two lyricists who most embodied punk’s libertarian role in helping banish the last vestiges of straight-laced Victorian values in the mid-70s were the two who most resembled a Dickensian nightmare. Johnny Rotten and Ian Dury both sought release from a social system designed to keep working class oiks like them in their place, and although one approached the task through head-on confrontation and the other with art school nuance, the message was the same: Think For Yourself.

Ian Dury - Reasons To Be Cheerful The Best Of Ian Dury (2005) Music

Posted by TmanHome at April 5, 2015

Ian Dury made the top wave of punk rock in the late '70s, the wave subsided, but Durie remained. He wanted to be a great independent or not be at all. Rock 'n' Roll - The Work: Dury realized it earlier than others. When he did not work with contracts, he just picked up and dissolved the group - in spite of all the fans. Not for the fans, he did his job. He was really smart, the man with heavy eyes and heavy cockney accent, and he preferred to work alone or with a couple of friends musicians - composing music in which someone is looking for punk, someone - a disco, and someone - justification for his absurd life.

Ian Dury - New Boots And Panties!! (1977) Reissue 1995 Music

Posted by Designol at May 4, 2022

Ian Dury's primary appeal lies in his lyrics, which are remarkably clever sketches of British life delivered with a wry wit. Since Dury's accent is thick and his language dense with local slang, much of these pleasures aren't discernible to casual listeners, leaving the music to stand on its own merits. On his debut album, New Boots and Panties!!, Dury's music is at its best, and even that is a bizarrely uneven fusion of pub rock, punk rock, and disco. Still, Dury's off-kilter charm and irrepressible energy make the album gel, with the disco pulse of "Wake Up and Make Love With Me" making perfect sense next to the gentle tribute "Sweet Gene Vincent," the roaring punk of "Blockheads," and the revamped music hall of "Billericay Dickie" and "My Old Man".

Reedit - Original recording 1977

Stiff Records specialized in making stars of left-of-center acts that didn't fit neatly within boundaries. Former pub-rocker Ian Dury's debut, New Boots and Panties!, set forth the manifesto of a visionary nearly on par with short-term label mate Elvis Costello. Linking a savage verbal wit and a fiction writer's eye for detail with a command of music from punk parody (the hilarious "Blackmail Man") to sophisto-funk ("Wake Up and Make Love with Me"), Dury was one of the most English of artists. More to the point, though, he was the only Dury-ish one.

Ian Dury's music always bordered on the functional, since it was used as a backdrop for his wry vignettes and stories, but on his second album, Do It Yourself, that aspect came to the fore. Largely abandoning the punk inflections that were scattered throughout New Boots and Panties!, Do It Yourself is a record of midtempo pub rock disco competently played, but rarely engaging. Dury's stories are all wonderful, filled with humor and penetrating detail, but only a handful of tracks, such as the terrific "Inbetweenies," are married to actual hooks, and by the end of the record, the steady disco throb has become a little numbing. Even with these faults, Do It Yourself remains one of Dury's very best records, since his lyrical facility throughout the album is simply amazing.
