Labour of Lust
#nicklowe #labouroflust #seventiesrock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rockpile #daveedmunds #seventiesmusic Nick Lowe releases his power-pop masterpiece on June 9, 1979 -- backed by the incredible Rockpile (Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams,) the album has a tight, lean rock'n roll energy throughout. "Cruel to Be Kind" is the standout -- it's just about the perfect pop song. Add "Cracking Up" to the list .. showcasing Nick's knack…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nick Lowe!

Heard me some Dave Edmunds on @WFMU this morning (thx Clay Pigeon) and I suddenly remembered this existed. Brought me back to being 13 again and watching MTV nonstop.
Rockpile, Seconds of Pleasure, 1980 on Columbia
This is Rockpile’s one and only studio album released under their name in 1980. The band includes Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams – though other material from Rockpile’s repertoire would come out under the name of Dave Edmunds or Nick Lowe solo albums.
The whole constellation of Nick Lowe / Dave Edmunds / Elvis Costello / Brinsley Schwarz created some really amazing music – pub rock is the label sometimes attached but that can be a bit limiting.
My copy—via La Fin Du Vinyle in Montréal Québec— is a Canadian pressing (Manufactured by CBS Records Canada Ltd).

"I Hear You Knocking" (or "I Hear You Knockin'") is a rhythm and blues song written by American musician #DaveBartholomew. #NewOrleansRhythmAndBlues singer #SmileyLewis first recorded the song in 1955. The lyrics tell of the return of a former lover who is rebuffed. "I Hear You Knocking" reached number two on the #Billboard #RAndBSinglesChart in 1955, making it Lewis's most popular and best-known song. Subsequently, numerous artists have recorded it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnzRhAy62cI
Dave Edmunds (Rockpile) - Twangin’
And here ends the Rockpile saga. They were in the process of exploding during the making of this album, and don’t appear on all tracks. (The Stray Cats back him on one…)
Still a good record, but definitely tilting heavily Edmunds, and it’s probably the last really good album he made, unfortunately.
Well, Rockpile had an exceptional run…and the players continued to matter later.
