Baxter Dury, son of legendary cockney rebel Ian, first started writing music and moving out from his father's shadow fifteen years ago. Blessed with his old man's bone-dry wit and the instantly recognizable voice, he's been quietly and unabashedly asserting his individuality ever since, bringing us to his fifth full-length, 'Prince Of Tears'. In a similar fashion to 2014's 'It's A Pleasure', Dury explores the dark underbelly beneath a sun-drenched sound, but this time framing the murky sleaze with a little sharper focus. The album opens with 'Miami', setting a threatening and skulking tone that's upheld on tracks such as 'Porcelain', 'Letterbomb' and 'August'. Contributing vocalists provide some contrast, with Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods mirroring Dury's sharp spoken word on 'Almond Milk', while Rose Elinor Dougall provides warm comforting refrains throughout. Baxter's nonchalance is infectious as he ambles into his fifth release, and 'Prince Of Tears finds him at his most complete, convincing and confident to date.
