  1. Dave Edmunds (Rockpile) - Twangin’

    And here ends the Rockpile saga. They were in the process of exploding during the making of this album, and don’t appear on all tracks. (The Stray Cats back him on one…)

    Still a good record, but definitely tilting heavily Edmunds, and it’s probably the last really good album he made, unfortunately.

    Well, Rockpile had an exceptional run…and the players continued to matter later.

  2. A 40-minute #TOTP doesn't fit into a 30-minute slot without some editing. Snipped here: the video for "Girls talk" by Dave Edmunds.

    It's Legs o'clock: "After the love has gone" by Earth, Wind & Fire sees the gals lounging on a BBC beach boardwalk.

  3. Any website that features Rockpile so prominently is already one of my favorites!

  4. Rockpile - Seconds of Pleasure

    Not my original copy, but the new Yep Roc release, cut by Kevin Gray.

    Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds and Rockpile were absolutely tearing it up in the late 70s and early 80s, with Edmunds’ 3 solos, Nick Lowe’s two (so good), this Rockpile LP, Carlene Carter, etc.

    Every one is terrific…this is the only one released as Rockpile. Snag the new cut if you can - it’s great.

  5. One of the unresolved mysteries of the 1980's Neo-#Rockabilly (at least for me):

    #StrayCats had "Crawl up and Die" on their famous self-named debut record produced by #DaveEdmunds.

    And the #GuanaBatz had "Please Gimme Something" on "Held down to vinyl... at last", one of their best albums IMHO.

    So who of them covered a track from the 50's, and who took the hookline and created new lyrics?

    @ProfessorMichaelT Any idea?

  6. Dave Edmunds - Repeat When Necessary

    As you may recall, Rockpile put out a bunch of records during their brief lifespan mostly not under the Rockpile name. Here's one of Edmunds' two.

    This starts out with the one-two punch of Girls Talk (Elvis Costello) and Crawling from the Wreckage (Graham Parker) - Edmunds wasn't much of a songwriter, but he was an great interpreter & player.

  7. Dave Edmunds - Live at the Capitol Theater, May 15, 1982

    This sounds like it was a radio broadcast; I may have even listened to it on WBUR.

    The band explodes out of the gate with Crawling from the Wreckage, a terrific Graham Parker song, and keeps the energy up across all four sides, doing the roots/pub rock you'd expect from Edmunds.

    Not a great recording, but you get the idea, and it must have been a great concert.
