Dave Edmunds occupies a rare place in rock history, a guitarist and producer whose work bridged the raw energy of early rock and roll with the sharp, stripped-down urgency of the new wave era. His Swan Song years coincided with the heyday of Rockpile, the band he shared with Nick Lowe, and the creative friction between those two produced some of the most tightly wound, joyfully referential rock records of the late seventies.
Double vinyl LP pressing. 39-track collection of every A- and B-side from Edmunds' years on Swan Song Records. Featuring material written by and with Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Bob Seger, John Fogerty, Chuck Berry, Graham Parker, Huey Lewis, Rodgers & Hart, and more. After hitting the charts in 1968, Dave Edmunds began a spectacular career as a writer, performer, and producer. Signing with Swan Song Records, all of the pieces of the puzzle would fit into place. Beginning with "Here Comes The Weekend" (co-written with Nick Lowe), Dave began a stellar run on the charts, showcasing his propensity for, and ability to bring a "classic" sound back to the airwaves, and to remember where all of those sounds came from. Swan Songs: The Singles 1976-1981 reveals the magic of the 7" singe in a way that has yet to be explored. 39 tracks, covering every A- and B-side from that period, guide the listener through that pivotal time when listeners heard what they liked and liked what they heard. Swan Songs: The Singles 1976-1981 is truly the definitive look at Dave Edmunds: the artist-whether with his incredible guitar tone, his signature production style, or his ability to make every song distinctive, and truly his own. Take the (swan) dive.
