Errol Flynn (known in the United States as King of the Thieves) is rock band The Dogs D'Amour's fourth studio album, and the second they released in 1989. It entered the UK Albums Chart at #22.
The album spawned two singles; "Satellite Kid" and "Trail of Tears" respectively, both reached the UK top 50 on the singles chart. "Satellite Kid" is perhaps the band's best-known song and their highest charting single, reaching #26.
Critical reception
[edit]Dave E. Henderson of Music Week ironically assessed Errol Flynn as "poppy rock songs with a modicum of posing" and noticed that for such rebelling rockers "the word "glam" is optional, but the "drinkin' Jack Daniel's habit is a necessity".[3]
