Album : Dave Edmunds – Get It

 

This is one great rock n roll album. Old school played by Dave and his friends a little more new school. This album is a rocker and so is Dave. Not hard to hear where Edmunds gets his inspiration. Country twang, rockabilly, rock n roll.

Most of these cuts are originals but would not be out of place with Jerry Lee, the Everleys, Elvis, Perkins, Vincent, Berry and many more. Punk and disco and a lot of other kinds of music were making the rounds but CB was locked into this stuff. Again not a bad cut in my book, why I’m talking about it.

The album opens up with Bob Seger’s ‘Get Out Of Denver’ and Edmunds nails it. You can hear the ghosts of Don and Phil Everly on ‘Where Or When’. “Ju Ju Man’ is just a stone cold killer cut with some rockin squeezebox. A CB fave. The title cut is another good one. Shut up CB and put that record on.

I played the hell out of this record. Good time rock n roll played by top notch guys. People that love this style of music. Dave is fantastic and has a string of good records. ‘Get It’ is just one of them. Don’t take my word for it, just get it and give it a listen. It will only cost you about 30 minutes of your time. It might give you some new listening.

If you love rock n roll you will probably like this record. It just doesn’t stop. Edmunds, Parker, Lowe, Costello were all joined at the hip and I ate it up. Not reinventing the wheel just keeping it rolling in the right direction. This music is in good hands with Dave Edmunds. Get It!!!
