D.O.X. – D.O.X. – 1986

D.O.X. appears to be another project of the boys from D.A. Rob Watson, Terry Taylor, and Tim Chandler were involved in this album in some way. Most the songs were written by Mark de la Bretonne the lead vocalist but Terry Taylor penned 2 of the tracks. The album has a bit of a Idle Cure sound at times and at other times i am hearing a more pop oriented version of Daniel Amos. The band were all individuals with little or no relationship to Daniel Amos but the boys form D.A. were obviously deeply involved with the project with all 3 listed as backing vocals and Terry Taylor being the producer. This is a pretty good album that was perfect for the time it came out. The vinyl is very hard to come by now so if you own it keep it safe.

  1. Hi there! A friend and I are preparing to cover this album for my podcast and are looking for the lyrics. I had the cassette long ago when it was first released but no longer have it. I have ordered a copy of the vinyl LP which I assume includes the lyrics but am awaiting delivery.

    Is there any chance that you have a copy of the lyrics that you could email to me?

    Thanks either way!
