The article text supplied only contains site navigation and menu boilerplate ("Music Film Travel Art News Shop Mailing List… Cover Story | Yard Act") — no actual body text about Ian Dury or the "regional genre" was included, so I can't accurately summarise its content without guessing or fabricating details.

Could you paste the full article text (or confirm the genre — likely Memphis soul/Stax, given the title)? I'll produce the summary as soon as I have the real content.
