About the album Too-Rye-Ay
In 1982, two years had passed since the debut of Dexys Midnight Runners, and Kevin Rowland's group was ready to return, and they did so in the most impeccable way with the release of the album Too-Rye-Ay. The result was an increase in the band's fans.
The musical style remains the same, namely well-played soul. Dominating and standing out are Rowland's heart-wrenching voice, an amazing cover of Van Morrison's Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile), and of course Come On Eileen, the single on which the commercial success of Too-Rye-Ay was built this time, a single that reached No. 1 in the UK and the U.S. What wasn't present in the first album but is here is the presence of the violin, something that caused controversy and a rift with the members who played the wind instruments in the band and who decided to secede from it after the album's recording.
The album made it to No. 2 in both the UK and Australia and No. 14 in the U.S.
