Dave Edmunds – Something About You

Biography
In the late 1960s he led a blues-rock trio called Love Sculpture, who scored a quasi-novelty hit by reworking Khachaturian’s classical piece “Sabre Dance” as a speed-crazed rock number. “Sabre Dance” became a hit after garnering the enthusiastic attention of British DJ John Peel.
After Love Sculpture split, Edmunds had a number one single with “I Hear You Knocking”, a Smiley Lewis cover. His only acting role followed, as a band member in the David Essex movie Stardust (1974 movie). After learning the trade of producer, culminating in a couple of singles in the style of Phil Spector, “Baby I Love You” and “Born To Be With You”, he became linked with the pub rock movement of the early 1970s, producing Brinsley Schwarz, Ducks Deluxe, and also The Flamin’ Groovies, using a stripped down, grittier sound.
His own solo LP from that era, Subtle As A Flying Mallet, was similar in style.

Best ELO impersonator ??? either you don't listen much to ELO or you don't really listen to Dave Edmunds.....no comparisons here well I don't think so.

I´d like to sing Dave´s "(I´m gonna start)Living Again If It Kills Me" with my band but I just can´t seem to make out a couple of words in it. Could somebody please help ? 1. It´s time I got up and out of this 5th floor prison and went and did something else. I´ve been sick of everything for so long that now I´m even sick of myself. I´m gonna call up some old friends I used to know altho´ they never come around much now, but I can´t blame them who wants to listen to me talk about you for hours I´m gonna start living again if it kills me, if that´s the very last thing I do I´m gonna make ????????? so sure, and purge(?) myself of you 2. I blew the dust off my little black book ans called Sonya ´cos she was always good for a smile, but when I whispered sweet nothin´s into her phone, they meant sweet nothin to her then Bridge: Sunday or Monday, I can´t remember I never know what day it is Tuesday Wednesday ?? ever blue days run into ...

¿Qué significa Dave Edmunds para mi? Un gran guitarrista pero por sobre todas las cosas Dave es un tipo que sabe juntar gente de mucho brillo a su alrededor. Y eso no es para cualquiera. Lo conoci al lado de Carl Perkins, Ringo Star, George Harrison y Eric Clapton en los años ochenta. Más tarde compre algunos de sus albunes y más adelante me lo encontre al lado de otros monstruos del rock, como Jerry Lee Lewis. No me pregunto cuándo nació, ni dónde, solo se que es un gran músico y lo respeto mucho, por eso lo busque en este programa. Gracias lost.fm por dejarme escribir estas líneas. Escribo de historia pero en realidad disfruto contando sobre lo que siento con la música. En todos mis libros esta presente la música y los recuerdos que me generan: el country, el rock y el folk. Y. como siempre, mi permanente homenaje a Merle Haggard. Tata.

Nothin' like a little rootsy Dave to cheer up the day.

There'll always be some arrogant little brat who wants to make music with a guitar. Rock'n'roll will never die. - a Dave Edmunds quote

Dave's just great! Besides being a terrific guitar player he is also true studio maniac - check Subtle As A Flying Mallet! And don't forget his production works: from Stray Cats and Status Quo to (yep!) Motorhead!

Dave is highly underrated and a damn fine guitarist. Check out Sabre Dance if you don't believe me.
