Today I was digging around looking for something interesting. I came across this tune via another favorite artist of mine. I saw the song listed on a live recording that this particular artist did. It really surprised me to hear him introduce the song as one he wrote. Always thought this was a Dave Edmund, or Rockpile original. It isn't. Anybody have a clue who wrote this song? Here's a live ve...
I just finding more and more gems from the 1979 time period, what is it about that year? maybe a premonition that the 80s were going to really SUCK? anyway this one was actually written by that master of disguises:Anyway, Dave's whole album is rather good, it also has crawling from the wreckage (a fast paced rocker), and queen of hearts a nice country rock piece.
This stuff will brighten anyone's day. A great way to head into the weekend.Amazon:There's nothing complicated about Welsh roots-rocker Dave Edmunds.

(Dave’s seventh solo release – duh!), which covers a lot of musical ground
From the latest (last?) release from Dave Edmunds, this fantastic cover of the Fats Domino hit "I'm Ready". Most of the album is filled with live versions of already-released semi-hits, but I bought up the new songs on iTunes. No one can cover the masters like Mr. Edmunds!
