From fresh-faced Teenager In Love to mononymous King Of The New York Streets, street-wise Bronx Belmont to übercool elder statesman of the blues, Dion DiMucci’s extraordinary career is so cool as to be almost beyond credence. Having dominated jukeboxes in the early 60s with Runaround Sue and The Wanderer, he embraced the blues, faced addiction and enjoyed spiritual rebirth before relaunching his rock career with the astonishing ’89 album Yo Frankie. Dion’s latest, s, features collaborations with Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Brian Setzer, Steve Van Zandt and Van Morrison, to name but a few.
