Title: Should Have Been Called Rockpile as Well
Review: Dave rips through these numbers with Rockpile (Nick Lowe, Billy Bremmer, Terry Williams) and shows off his guitar chops and strong vocals. His version of Elvis Costello's "Girls' Talk" adds an additional lyric to the original to make the meter more symetric. He then jumps to another angry young man of the time, Graham Parker, and shreds his "Crawling From the Wreckage" next. The Hank Devito song, "Queen of Hearts" (which charted for Juice Newton) is a great rockabilly tune with strong vocals. I particularly love "Take Me for a Little While", a tender love song. The release ends with guest harp player Huey Lewis joining the band on "Bad Is Bad", which the News covered and charted with later. This is a steal at the price listed.
