		Intelligent, funny and frequently foul-mouthed, Ian Dury's always had a unique way with words.
		Elsewhere there are loads of classic Dury stories and the kind of dazzling free-form wordplay which influenced later generations of songwriters such as Black Grape's Shaun Ryder.
		Co-writer Chaz Jankel has come up with some corking tunes and fizzing guitar-lines to match the quality of Dury's musings, while the band as a whole has lost none of the dextrous energy which marked it out as one of the great live acts of the late 70s and early 80s.

		Ian Dury is perceived as that cheeky chappie from Upminster, the lyrical wordsmith behind classics such as 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'.
		Ian chose to perpetuate the myth during the earlier part of his career because he rightly knew that the image of the working class lad was more appealing than that of a middle-class cousin.
		Dury was no angel, but for all his faults he had many good points, which author Jim Drury does not neglect.

		Firstly because I absolutely loved Ian Dury and The Blockheads but the second and more important reason is that Jim Drury has spoken to all the Blockheads and they each have their own tale to tell.
		The rows and punch ups are also investigated and also just why Ian and the band went their separate ways during the eighties and early nineties.
		Perhaps the most poignant part of the story is the way the band open up their hearts over the loss of original Blockhead drummer Charlie Charles and of course the loss of Ian Dury himself in March 2000.

		Ian Dury was one of those rarities - with acute vision of his culture and an ability to express it with humane humour.
		There is relatively little overlap between this CD and Dury's various albums; and his later work (which was musically disappointing) is not represented.
		Ian celebrated life, regardless of the infirmities it brings - even those that are not deserved.

	Ian Dury
		Born in Upminster, Essex, on May 12, 1942, Dury contracted polio at the age of seven, damaging both his left hand and his right leg and resulting in a two-year stay in the hospital.
		Mixing pub rock, British music hall themes, and a funky undertow with Dury's idiosyncratic sense of humor, the Blockheads' first album, New Boots and Panties!!, was an unexpected smash, staying on the British charts for over a year and selling over a million copies.
		In 1991, Dury and the Blockheads began to play occasional reunion shows, which stepped up after drummer Charley Charles died and the band mounted a tour to benefit his family.

		The late Ian Dury knew for sure it was a question of the right moment in the right place at the right time because tomorrow might never arrive.
		What's worse is that he didn't get nearly the credit he was owed during his lifetime -- he had a better sense of humor and was more musically interesting that James White by a country mile, and had a better band than anybody.
		Hopefully, anybody who was remotely interested in Dury will pick this little slab of memory up and be astonished.
