Re: Dave Edmunds

Another class act. Some of his other songs when he teamed up with Nick Lowe in the late 70s were great, such as 'Girls Talk' and Lowe's 'Cruel To Be Kind' which Edmunds co-wrote and produced. 'Deborah' was pure Buddy Holly rock n' roll, stonking little two minute song.

The first time I heard 'I Hear You Knocking' was part of the Woodpecker cider ad, which featured new lyrics such as 'get rid of ugly Stain(e)s', with film of tower blocks in Staines being blown up.
