Jon Johnson, my sadly departed best friend from college, turned me onto some really cool music. While I knew Slippin' Away and I Hear you Knockin' by Dave Edmunds, i was knew to his real band, Rockpile. It was this band that started my life long love of Rock-a-billy music. Sadly, the band was a one album/tour and done proposition.
Dave Edmunds is an English institution. While he hasn't put our a record in years, solo or otherwise, he still commands a loyal following during his numerous solo accoustic tours.
For whatever reason, quite a few of the Rockpile shows were recorded for radio.....I guess I should mention who the heck Rockpile are....Dave Edmunds-guitar/vocals, Nick Lowe-bass/vocals, Billy Bremner-guitar/vocals, and Terri Williams-drums. As you can see, quite a lineup! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!!!!!
