Please clicks on the tagg of this Dinogram to goes to hot press so you can hear this amazin' song for yourself.
How wonderful to know that our Dino is such an inspiration to so many in so many places.... Dinodelightedly, DMP
'The Dry Law' by The Last Tycoons
11 Jun 2009
Have a listen to The Last Tycoons' lead single from their upcoming debut album, due out this September.
A bluesy lament on prohibition, 'The Dry Law' offers a taste of what we can expect from the Dubliners' debut long player.
As lead singer Steve says: "I quit drinking and started to write a song about it." And although he was off the booze just a month, it seems the dry spell helped inspire him, along with a certain Rat Pack crooner: "I was reading a biography of Dean Martin at the time and there was all this stuff about him working in speakeasies and casinos as a kid, surrounded by all these gangsters. So I just put the two things together and made up this story about it."
It'll put a thirst on you, for sure!
Hey pallie DMP. That's awesome. It's cool to see this. There are so many people who are inspired and influenced by our Dino. Cheers!
