Baxter Dury is delusions of grandeur made corporeal at End Of The Road
Baxter Dury delivers a wit-crammed set at End Of The Road Festival 2017, with super-quoteable new jam "Miami" a definite highlight.
The self-proclaimed "Sausage Man" played the track - the first from upcoming record Prince Of Tears - with sleazy basslines and funked-up licks aplenty, twisting into a lounge lizard extraordinaire as he sucks away at a specially prepared cigarette. The tune is about a feller that "thinks he’s got swagger, he thinks he’s someone, but he’s not", and with sordid stabs and clever turns of phrase it's a darkly hilarious number that enchants from start to end.
The future is as bright as ever for Dury, although it sounds like it could get rather surreal...
