England's pub-rock movement of the mid-'70s was instrumental in carrying on the torch of '50s rock & roll. Dave Edmunds was a leading light in this movement and along with Nick Lowe, he conveyed the passion of his early influences into his live shows on a regular basis. KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR collects 12 of these performances from a pair of shows recorded in the early '80s and '90s.
Although the bulk of the supporting musicians aren't listened in the liner notes, the infectious energy found in such stellar performances as "I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock and Roll" and "Girls Talk" make up for the lack of info. Among the credited cameos are ones by Graham Parker on "Crawling From the Wreckage" and Chris Spedding and Brian Setzer on a ripping cover of Eddie Cochran's "C'mon Everybody".|
