In the Dynamite Jet Saloon is rock band The Dogs D'Amour's second studio album, released in 1988. The album is the first featuring what is considered the "classic" line-up of the band.

Contents

Three of the tracks from this album ("The Kid from Kensington", "I Don't Want You to Go" and "How Come It Never Rains") were released as singles, with promotional videos to go along with them. "How Come It Never Rains" was the highest charting, as it reached #44 on the UK Singles Chart, all three reached the top 100.

Critical reception

Upon release Kirk Blows of British magazine Music Week reviewed album positively and found it "not as ragged and debauched as their live performances." As per him In the Dynamite Jet Saloon is "a powerful and toneful stomp through a selection of strong songs that highlight the band's strengths. Vocalist Tyla has an ear for a melody, a quality that will surprise many only familiar with the wasted, sleazy image." [1]
