Danny Kyle LP "Ah'll Get Ye"
Label: Pan Audio, Stereo PA005
We guess that this LP is today no longer available.
This one shows more the Danny Kyle we used to know - a funny guy who always told the worst puns in his Paisley dialect and with his Paisley charme and humour. The music itself shows partly Danny solo, partly with the "Vindscreen Vipers" Skiffle Group, and partly with Gallagher & Lyle.
Danny Kyle and the Vindscreen VipersOn the LP, Billy Connolly writes the following dedication: "Billy Connolly says: One night ten years ago I was an Italian suited welder going out for a pint. Purely by chance I stumbled or staggered into a folk song club in Clydebank. The guest was Danny Kyle and I must state here and now that I have never been the same since. Do yourself a favour, sit down and listen to his album, listen to the sincerity of his 'Straight' songs, or laugh yourself silly at his pawky Paisley patterend humour. Finish the exercise by going to see him perform live. You have my promise, you'll never be the same." How true these words...
On this oldie-goldie album, you find three songs written by the wee man - a great funny one named "The ugliest man in Glasgow", "Mill Lassies" and - again - "Glasgow Farewell". The other 6 highlights (of course there are no low lights) on this album were "Jean Harlow", "Hobos Lullaby", "The Titanic" (with a great 'blub-blub' in the end), "Katie Harts", "Joe Hill" and "Jessie James".
The album is a live recording, always with a huge and enthusiastic audience, well joining in in the songs. And between the songs or - in the typical Danny-manner - sometimes also inbetween one song, Danny tells loads and loads of crazy puns, with the audience - and of course also the home listener - laughing tears. This is the Danny Kyle he was famous for: A funny guy, with great puns, with songs where the whole audience would join.
Still, the music was partly different, when playing a few songs with the "Vindsreen Vipers". This Skiffle Band joins Danny with the funny Mike Whellans (playing here only drums and percussion, not his in these days usual combination of percussion, guitar, mouthie and singing), Tich Frier (vocals and guitar), Bill Nolan (vocals and guitar) and Malcolm McCormick (vocals and banjo).
This one's just great fun, great to laugh about and sing along - as Danny's cousin Tom Kyle said correctly "it's a hoot". Still it's unbelievable that Danny sounds on this recording from 24 years ago exactly like he sounded just before his death.
In the end, while listening, you would normally feel very sad because you would think that it's a shame that this great wee guy is gone - but you cannot stay sad for a longer time; Danny's puns are too bad not to laugh about them...
