Hard work was hardwired into Dr. Feelgoodâ?~s DNA. They never left the road, not even after the death of their lead singer Lee Brilleaux in 1994.
Nearly two decades after his demise, a lineup of Dr. Feelgood containing no original members continues to grind out gigs across the United Kingdom, a testament to the bandâ?Ts take-no-prisoners aesth- etic, even if their presence tends to obscure what made the Feelgoods so special in the mid-â?T70s.
It took Julien Templeâ?Ts 2009 documentary Oil City Confidential to remind the world at large about Dr. Feelgoodâ?Ts crucial place in history, how they turned pub rock into something tougher, harder, leaner, and meaner, something that paved the way for punk rock just a few years later. Oil City Confidential told the story, but itâ?Ts All Through the City (With Wilko 1974-1977) that provides the supporting evidence. A four-CD box chronicling everything that the original lineup of Brilleaux, guitarist Wilko Johnson, bassist John B. Sparks, and drummer John â?oThe Big Figureâ? Martin recorded during their four years together, All Through the City contains allâ?¦

â?¦the vital music Dr. Feelgood ever recorded. Theyâ?Td make other good records â?" 1978?s Private Practice and its hit single â?oMilk & Alcohol,â? for instance â?" but this is the music that made the bandâ?Ts legacy, and it still packs a wallop: this is intense, gritty, hard rock & roll, its love of old R&B tying it somewhat to the past but the vicious vigor of the performances still feeling modern. This lacerating energy is best felt on the live performances â?" their hit album Stupidity and the television performances collected on the DVD â?" but their first two LPs, Down by the Jetty and Malpractice contain much of the same nervy spirit, conveyed by Wilkoâ?Ts slashing cubist guitar and Brilleauxâ?Ts growl. On the welcome disc of rarities that concludes this set, some of the thought behind the bandâ?Ts evolution is evident â?" an early version of â?oRoxetteâ? betrays some deep doo wop roots that the group defiantly shook off just a year later â?" but that only strengthens the case for Dr. Feelgood. They knew precisely how to trim away the fat, they knew what mattered: the hard angular riffs, the throttling rhythms, the sense of malicious malevolence that pervades even the love songs. All of that is showcased on All Through the City, a box set that captures Dr. Feelgood in all of their rage and glory.
