Title: Dave Alvin puts his private touch on Public Domain
Review: Fans of Dave Alvin will not be disappointed, and those who don't know his work should rush to pick this up. American Music king Dave Alvin, formerly of The Blasters (with his brother Phil singing lead), X, and The Knitters, digs into the back of his record bin for this collection of some of his favorite songs that obviously shape his songwriting. It's easy to imagine young Dave, gleefully hearing these tunes for the first time, just as I found myself gleefully listening to his versions. Dave Alvin proves himself a great interpreter with this collection, adding one more title to his Singer/Songwriter/Historian moniker.P.S. If you haven't yet caught him live, get to the club next time he is in your town.
