Brinsley Schwarz didnt invent pub rock, but they did define the genre that paved the way to punk in the mid-70s. A seven-disc box set that effectively acts as the bands complete recorded works -- there are surviving live tapes circulating elsewhere, but this has all the studio material -- Thinking Back: The Anthology 1970-1975 charts their journey from tentative folk-rockers bearing an evident debt to CSNY to boisterous house rockers anchored by the pure pop smarts of Nick Lowe. Although Lowe would later come to fame -- his big hit "Cruel to Be Kind" was first attempted by the Brinsleys on Its All Over Now, a scrapped 1975 album included here -- the songwriter wasnt quite the groups leader: it was named after lead guitarist Brinsley Schwarz, and guitarist/vocalist Ian Gomm also contributed tunes and vocals. That collective spirit is evident throughout Thinking Back, whether its on the goofy, earnest material styled after the Band or on the rollicking, funny rockers that kept them flying high through the 1970s. Once they met Dave Edmunds, he streamlined and hardened their sound, resulting in a radio-ready record that never found the radio. Instead, its opening track, Lowes "(Whats So Funny Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding," was turned into a standard by Elvis Costello, the bands number one fan, which helped cement Brinsley Schwarzs legacy as progenitors of punk. This set shows theyre more than a historical footnote: they made wonderful, openhearted rock & roll that still sounds robust and raucous years later. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
