Led by the abrasive and single-minded Kevin Rowland, Dexy`s Midnight Runners spoke for an all-night culture immersed in northern soul. SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG SOUL REBELS captures the original eight-piece group infusing passionate self-belief into songs based on 60s mentors Geno Washington and Jimmy James. Rowland`s expressive voice is perfectly matched by pumping horns and punchy rhythms, but the intensity of their performance ensures the set never falls into pastiche. Each song bears the stamp of a manifesto, one that was largely Rowland`s, a myopic vision that brought this line-up to an acrimonious, premature end. His commitment, however, ensured the lasting qualities of this album.
