Britain's Elvis

Yep, Tommy Steele was very popular here in the 60's and Tommy is regarded as Britain's first teen and rock & roll star. He reached #1 in 1957 with the song 'Singing the Blues' . Also his album 'The Tommy Steele Story' was the first album by a UK act to reach number one.

This guy... DB has long remained an underground favorite of mine. Two of his
first solo lps were some of the best music that meant something of the 89-94
years. Yeah, he's a bit like lovable T-Bone Burnette in that he can be dogmatic,
a bit preachy, but here his field of vision is so crystal clear and inventive.

Short-lived David and David, a terrific pop burner duo of the mid 80's was
his biggest claim to fame. His first solo lp was the best I heard that year.
His 2nd solo, Triage, was pitchfork, flute, drums and tattered flag... packing
heat and filling sandbags for the volcano-hot Armageddish Revolution.
Cinematic in scope, listening to it was like watching a horror movie of a
different kind, and you dare not take your ear off the spin. This one is
more laid back, but still terrific. Baerwald leading the charge for another
cause, the new folk underground. He reminds me of the millennium's
new Alex Chilton... somebody had to take the torch.

Still pretty good Wishbone, but no Argus. There's the Rub was pretty good
too, that gang bringing it back together for this one.

Glad he finally released a six string shredding exorcism to truly show
his guitar wielding wares; the guy can play like no other.
