Dave Edmunds

Dave Edmunds is a Welsh treasure who never got the household-name status his talent deserved. Born in Cardiff in 1944, he's the rare figure who's brilliant on three fronts, as guitarist, singer and producer, and his fingerprints are all over the pub rock and new wave hits of the seventies and early eighties. I love that he started playing in a band with his brother Geoff at age ten; the obsession was there from the start. His production work shaped records well beyond his own, and his rockabilly-tinged guitar tone is instantly recognizable. He's a craftsman's craftsman, the kind musicians revere even when charts forget.
