There's been quite a bit of chatter across the site the last few days about compilation CDs, catching up with artists you'd never quite got found to listening to etc. As I was browsing iTunes this morning I came across, again, a series of 5-track downloadable EPs from the redoubtable Rhino label. I've bought a few in my time and was tempted by a few classic Dave Edmunds tracks when I thought "This...

From one of my all time favourite albums, 'Get It' by Dave Edmunds comes this excellent song. The album 'Get It' was a homage to the fifties era of real Rock 'n Roll and featured not only this great song but a fistful of others too. Magnificent stuff and hotter than an old T-bird. . . . aNOtHEr dIp INtO ThE mAGpIE mEMOrY pOOoL.

Absolutely nothing like a decent blues chug. Do note both Dave Edmunds and Steve Cropper…..and then on the other side, note the trumpeter. Who knew you could have both a perm and a mullet?

At least in the United States, Dave Edmunds' most popular Dave Edmunds album is his 1979 effort, Repeat When Necessary. Watch and listen as Graham Parker joins Edmunds to perform a Parker-penned song from that collection, "Crawling from the Wreckage."

For no other reason than it's a gorgeous song, and that I've just noticed this YouTube lifted from Welsh-language TV music prog Bandit, here's Colorama performing Dere Mewn . It's taken, of course, from last year's excellent mini-LP Magic Lantern Show . And isn't Carwyn Ellis an absolute dead ringer for a young Dave Edmunds . It's uncanny.

A novel set in a rural recording studio rocks, says Alfred Hickling Tiffany Murray's debut novel, Happy Accidents , painted an enjoyably quirky picture of rural dysfunction that earned favourable comparisons with Stella Gibbons's Cold Comfort Farm . Yet more intriguing than the novel itself was a brief reference in Murray's biography which stated that she was brought up at the legendary Rockfield...

There are some old New Year’s Eve traditions, like staying at home, drinking and watching Jools Holland’s Hootenanny, and then there are some new ones like posting a list of significant blog posts from the passing year, and failing to make any significant predictions. So this year it’s Tom Jones, Kasabian, Paolo Nutini, Dizzee Rascal, Lily [...] Thanks for subscribing to Andy Roberts...

In Great Britain, 2009 began with Dave Edmunds performing his best-known song, "Girls Talk," an Elvis Costello composition, on "Later with Jools Holland." As the year winds down, I can't think of a better time to play it again. A great song done by a great rocker.

After Battling Off: a cold / sore throat earlier in the week today it seems to have returned with the proverbial vengeance; and probably a mutation of the flu-like virus our son has been down with. So feeling stodgy and disinterested, I cheered myself up with some of my favourtie 'fast' rockers, which I am unable to incude clickable links to here because they still don't work. But, please enjoy them...
