Really you should (get it), because Dave Edmunds doesn’t just know rock and roll, he gets it. He understands that Hank Williams, Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry are all manifestations of the same rock and roll spirit. And so you get Bob Seger mixed with Chuck Berry (“Get Out of Denver”), Rodgers & Hart with The Beach Boys (“Where Or When”), Graham Parker with CCR (“Back to School Days”). Honestly, I thought Edmunds the least interesting half of Rockpile, but not after hearing this. The opening “Get Out of Denver” is a Berry blast, while the tracks from Dave n Nick (“Here Comes The Weekend,” “Little Darlin’”) are absolute keepers. The Rockpile album sounded cloying and country-gooey in spots (“Now And Always,” “If Sugar Was As Sweet As You”), like it was being played at the wrong speed. No such motor trouble here; Edmunds never stalls despite the changes in terrain from ragged charmer to romantic to rambunctious rockabilly king. He understands that he’s a great guitarist, a good vocalist and a middling songwriter. By contrast, Lowe didn’t understand his own limitations; he made great songs sound good, Edmunds makes good songs sound great. If you doubt me, listen to their versions of “I Knew The Bride” side by side. Lowe may have written it, but Edmunds owns it. In fact, he owns every inch of Get It, an accomplishment considering that his backing band is part Rumour and part Rockpile, all of them capable of stealing the spotlight at any moment. I did it backwards, buying Seconds first. Go with Get It and Labour of Lust instead and save Rockpile for a rainy day. 1977.07 A1.I KNEW THE BRIDE B1.?
