Dave Edmunds – Rockpile (1972)
Return to the roots of high-energy rock and roll with Rockpile, the second solo studio album from the legendary Welsh guitarist and producer Dave Edmunds. Recorded at his famous Rockfield Studios, this album is a masterclass in the "back-to-basics" sound that paved the way for the pub rock and new wave movements.
Edmunds, a perfectionist of the 1950s aesthetic, captures the raw spirit of early rockabilly and rhythm & blues but injects it with 70s power. The album is a brilliant mix of inspired covers and original energy, showcasing his incredible multi-instrumental skills and his ability to recreate the classic "Sun Records" slap-back echo. This is an essential record for anyone who loves their rock and roll loud, fast, and authentic.
