A song with a type of weather in the title
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The wind cries Mary
I don’t really know much about Jimi Hendrix. Bit before my time, but he’s a fascinating figure.

Here are my favourite 15 Dexys / Dexys Midnight Runners / Kevin Rowland tracks. Hope you enjoyed them, particularly if you weren’t previously familiar with Kevin Rowland’s solo material.
By the way, I don’t mind Come on Eileen, but it certainly isn’t in my top 15.

Until I Believe in my Soul
For me, this is the ultimate Dexys song.
Passionate vocals, with lyrics focussed on cleansing the soul and becoming a better person, with fabulous music underpinning everything.
Sheer perfection. 😍😎

It’s the return of #jonesysjukebox despite literally no interest being shown by anybody other than me.
Here’s some 80s disco, inspired by a conversation I had earlier about Patrick Cowley.
Sylvester & Patrick Cowley - Do you wanna funk?
I imagine they actually wanted to ask “do you wanna fuck?”

From Don’t Stand me Down, the 1985 LP which was completely misunderstood upon release but now always features in those tedious “Best Albums of All Time” lists.
