Twangin..., Dave Edmunds' 1981 album, was his last for Swan Song before he moved on to Columbia, and the last of his solo records with Rockpile behind him. The Welsh guitarist had made his name in pub rock and new wave, and this set cleans out the vaults: it's mostly outtakes from earlier sessions, nearly all of them covers, one of them, a run at the Elvis Presley rockabilly number "Baby Let's Play House", going all the way back to 1968.
It plays like a jukebox with a bad attitude. There's the Wilson Pickett B-side "Three Time Loser", and George Jones' "The Race Is On" cut with the Stray Cats, whose debut album Edmunds had produced. "Almost Saturday Night" rides a bright, jangling twang. The cover portrait is by Barney Bubbles.
