The Greatest Music
Too-Rye-Ay
The 452nd greatest album of all time
Too-Rye-Ay is the second studio album by Dexys Midnight Runners, released in 1982. It blends the group's blue-eyed soul and New Wave energy with folk rock touches, incorporating fiddle and Celtic-inflected arrangements alongside brass and driving rhythms. The record is notable for Kevin Rowland's raw, emotive vocals and a shift toward more exuberant, danceable pop-soul songs with a distinct folk flavor.
