Baxter Dury was never destined to get an office job. He was born in a house where his dad’s band The Blockheads were banging out Chuck Berry’s Johnny Be Good in the basement below. Baxter got a  6’8” ex-Led Zeppelin roadie named ‘Sulphate Strangler’ for a babysitter. He even could be seen on the cover of New Boots and Panties!! next to father Ian. But after that you have got to escape your fathers shadow. Not every son gets that far, Baxter Dury did. This year he released his third album Happy Soup. Dury describes it as "seaside psychedelica". An important role on the album is for singer Madelaine Hart who often duets with Dury. The playful songs and lyrics are very accessible and according to NME it "is a work of casual assurance that no family tree can provide". The English magazines and papers from Q, to NME and The Guardian gave the album 4 out of 5 stars. Or to quote The Guardian: “Although Baxter Dury's half mumbled cockney narratives are naturally reminiscent of his late father, Ian Dury's Blockheads blended punk, R&B and music hall, whereas his son's third album is full of terrific, understated, dry, post-modern, electro-tinged pop songs. The zippy melodies recall Blur's Graham Coxon, and the sparseness of the xx or Young Marble Giants”
