From one of the most tragically underrated albums of the eighties, Shakespeare Alabama. A near-perfect debut with delivers Byrds/REM-like tunes in a power-pop vein, with celestial melodies and unforgettable tunes. In a perfect World "All the myths on Sunday" or "Here I stand", or in fact any other song in this album, would be all time classics and radio staples.

Great band , great song . I'd put them in the se bracket as the Chameleons, in that they should both have been huge, but for some crazy reason, they wern't . Daft buisiness the record industry.Alan the Chameleons fan.

Those were the days 88/89,

The more time passes, the more resistant to change are people who believe all the myths on Sunday.

Great band. Discovered them after they toured with Big Country in the late 1980s. Had Shakespeare Alabama and Flipped on vinyl. Songs with passion and purpose. Love it!!

@edwardpeach As much as I detested the Old Skool reactionary Radio One DJs, they at least had some personality, unlike the clowns there now You're right, though, those music hating jocks could make or break a band - frightening..

Many thanks fery1, and so well said. I'll never understand how bands like this get sidelined by big name labels, just when they should have been pushed to what would;ve been longterm success. This band had legs, still does! Shakespeare Alabama is one of the most satisfying albums put together by any band ever.

Actually - has a feel of a Lennon-penned Beatles song

John Butler ~ Oceanby ronkorz75,754 views
Good band, decent song. Singer John Butler is outstanding, surely one of the most underrated singers anywhere.
My favourite DPW songs are the b-sides "What About Us" and "Above These Things".

Fantastic song...The b-side 'Memo to Turner' was a corker too!.....
