Song of the Day

Madness has returned with an absolute vengance.

Dust Devil- Madness I was taken aback when finally got around to downloading The Liberty Of Norton Folgate an album released by Madness early last spring. Madness is the much beloved ska/rock band from London. Madness recorded it's first album One Step Beyond in 1979 which is a mighty long time ago, folks. By all expectations, a pop music band isn't supposed to make an album as good as Norton Folgate, 30 years past their debut album with all of it's members in the 50 years+ age bracket. Norton Folgate is undeniably the best album ever from Madness and it has all of the uniquely British commentary and wry humor that characterizes of the best of albums by the Kinks. Don't miss this one. It's one of the best releases of 2009 and Madness has made the most astounding comeback of the year.

Edward Folgate is also available in a deluxe 2 CD editon with a dozen more songs, most of which are as good as the songs on the single CD issue.

===============================================

BONUS VIDEO: Madness does a live performance Clerkenwell Polka, another song from The Liberty of Edward Folgate on the Jools Holland show.
