Bio:
Formed by various ex Fallen Angels,
Those Handsome Devils, Hank Halfhead & The Rambling Turkeys
(country rock) and Fevertrain (soul) personnel, The Dixons were
one of the innovators in the move towards country rock, folk and acoustic
rock sounds in the late 1980s.
Their debut single
is another one of those records that appears to have disappeared
into the Mother Records Swirling Vortex of Death.
If anyone has a spare copy, please get in touch.
They split while recording their third album,
the fabulously titled "Exile On Dame Street".
Alan Montgomery was later in Revelino.
Reformed in 2002 for a one-off gig.
