Pub is the only album by the British band Denzil, released in 1994. [3] [4] [5]
Billboard praised the "clever" lyrics and "charmingly rough-edged" singing. [1] The Washington Post declared that "every one of the 16 songs on Pub boasts an ear-catching melody driven by an energetic, economical rhythm section." [5] Ira Robbins of Trouser Press found Denzil to be "a welcome entrant in the English furrow between early Elvis Costello and late Richard Thompson", praising the "memorable tunes ... tastefully backed by an electric trio". [3]
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Andy Hinds gave the album a positive review and stated, "Based around Denzil's everyman voice and workmanlike acoustic guitar, the well-recorded tunes are usually augmented by drums, bass, jangly electric guitar, and other well-chosen instruments. This excellent album and artist were nearly completely overlooked." [2]
In 1999, The Tulsa World included Pub on their list of the "100 Greatest Albums You Never Heard Of". [6]
All songs written by Denzil Thomas.
