    record. Could find and make
    almost anything his. Explored
    different genres as well. Geez,

    so great. So underrated. So
    damn good. He deserves more

    This was recorded by BBC Wales on a St, David's Day, back in '94. I was lucky enough to be there, it was a line up of the best rock musicians ever to come out of Wales, maybe even the UK. Dave and Mickey are up there with Knopfler, when it comes to rockabilly stuff. The line up is, Dave Edmonds, Mickey Gee, Pino Palladino, Andy Fairweather Low, Geraint Watkins and Clapton's awesome drummer, Henry Spinetti.
    R.I. P. Mickey, rock on guys, fantastic, so proud you are all Welsh.

      Elsewhere on YT you can find an interview of Dave Edmunds relating the story of how he played with Chuck back in the mid-80s as part of Chuck's 60th birthday celebrations, and Chuck was so impressed he let Dave play the leads, and said at the end 'Who says a white man can't play the blues?'. I've also heard another interview from Chuck himself commenting on one of Dave's songs (Queen of Hearts) saying Dave had a real feel for rock n roll...High praise indeed from the true king of rock n roll.

    Loving this the way the song is built. The guitars kick it off and are strictly rhythm and drums layer in. Geraint takes the lead and off it goes to a different level. This is pure Cajun Wales, London and New Orleans mix. Such a powerhouse sound full on Johnny Allen. Is that Andy Fairweather Low? Tight as a drum lean and clean!

    I only came across this recently after Chuck Berry had died. Love it! That Geraint Watkins is something special! As someone else implied, if this doesn't get you moving, you're dead! Regarding great guitarists, though, someone has just sent me on Facebook a clip of Albert Lee doing guitar overdub on a track being recorded by Edmunds. At one point,, D.E. says that if he could be reborn as anyone it would be as Albert Lee. The man is a guitar genius!

    • @bryanmclellan8546
      @bryanmclellan8546 7 лет назад

      Right Albert is awesome. Personally I prefer ALVIN not Albert. I always thought that Alvin Lee, Ted Nugent, Rory Gallagher and Dave Edmunds were the best ever.
