On 'Day of the Dog' Ezra re-invents himself as an angry young man ready to throw himself on the pyre for the redemption that will follow. With a tight rockin' combo he re-works '50s grooves through primal-Lennon outbursts, glam hissing, right up and full circle into Pixies-style / Buddy Holly rave-ups. It's an instant classic that could have fit on Stiff between Costello's debut and the Damned.
