Dave Edmunds and The Stray Cats - The Race is On

[@Pauls_Archive]

Dave is a superb rocker, he knows Rock n Roll sound and how to recreate it! He produced Shaky & The Sunsets first album - A Legend - totally authentic 👍🏻

[@seerstone8982]

Thank's Dave for appreciating The Cats, and producing them.

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

Dave is a true musical craftsman who you just know is always going to ‘do it right’.

[@mikpug]

These guys are great, I was a bobbin to them live in early 80s Cardiff top rank.

Dave Edmunds is an underrated rocker. 'Repeat When Necessary' is a killer record and his best I think

[@syncout]

Best cover of this song ever...

[@davidjohnmiller4849]

In the movie Stardust the band , played by Dave Edmonds and Kieth Moon and others , was called The Stray Cats

[@kimgrant3879]

Love dave and the stray cats ❤❤❤

[@festersuncle6298]

Edmunds did The Polecats too. Boz Boorer, Morrissey's writing partner,was the guitarist and backing vocalist. Hit: "Make a circuit with me"

[@raymondbonington9355]

Dave Edmunds was In a fictional band called the stray cats in the fictional film stardust also in the band were Keith moon and David Essex ,early 1975

[@melgrant7404]

Great film

[@melgrant7404]

The film was actually 1974.

[@raymondbonington9355]

@@melgrant7404 must have been late 74 coz I took Vivian finch to see it and she dumped me early75 lol 👍

[@melgrant7404]

@@raymondbonington9355 oh OK.its just that it was advertised as 1974 on TV.!

[@NAHAJI133]

I saw The Stray Cats in Boulder Colorado. They just rocked the house

[@uberbabeINC]

A thoroughly enjoyable show!

[@maries.3845]

Quelle voix chaude et séduisante, quel artiste magnifique j'aime encore😍😘🥰🤩 for ever ❤️🥰

[@imannonymous7707]

the rockabilly revival it was almost vital for a moment again....i loved these guys edmunds and nick lowe too

[@mozdickson]

was a nice little sub-chapter between Punk and New Wave - I arrived in London April 1981 and these guys were huge along with Polecats and Major Matchbox, older dude Shakin Stevens was No1 with Greendoor. Me? I went to see The Specials!

[@graemesmellie5223]

God I remember warrington rock n roll society and bopping to this in sacred heart social club great days

[@damonhines8187]

Great match-up!! Perfect !! 🥰 🎶👏👏👏

[@noahsledgebottom5508]

Fantastic!!!

[@That1Guy]

timeless

[@Huskrrrr]

Dave can do that Southern Twang as good as George Jones

[@jeffrylotz138]

Too cool

[@vicarn1]

I don't know what year this was but our band always opened with this George Jones song in the 60's.Dave was really good at this stuff.

[@georgeprice7922]

Vic Arnold Dave's single of this was released in 1981 on Led Zeppelin's SwanSong Records label. This also marks the first American release for The Stray Cats as well.

[@lesbonnick5270]

so underrated

[@drstevie]

FAB !!

[@tonytotten2133]

Yip the lads weren't wrong there he produced the stray cats well. That's why they came to the UK as they didn't make it in the states as it had already been done in the 50s and that's when the British rockabilly scene erupted and came out of the under ground but unfortunately short lived but never died off as its still running today another 40 years on what music has survived that long yeh keep pushing out the one hit wonders judges £££$$$$. Lol

[@avan5140]

Dave made them sound just right and launched them properly. I always think it's interesting how Brian Setzer has that cute lisp when he speaks but it barely comes across when he's singing.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Totally, I never noticed that lisp before! Bet the GIRLS love it! lol

[@kittiesgomow33]

I never saw it in a song until I saw the video for Look At That Cadillac, near the end! Haha

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Simran Persic ;-)

[@WahlbergBabey]

+monsterjazzlicks I'm all for Brian and I certainly love it😍 Dave (along with Nick Lowe) will always be my top musician though💕

[@monsterjazzlicks]

SarahDBaker This helped me kind of appreciate a bit more how important finding the right PRODUCER is.

[@YZ250W1]

They all look like they're having fun with this video. I like this better than the original from George.

[@anthonymichaelhalloates2902]

Bloody Fantasic! Sofa king kool!

[@irafutterman5557]

Andy Williams recorded this back in the day.

[@ustheserfs]

think I like this more than no show's

[@TobyKoehn]

love the george jones version, but this is epic! \m/

[@avoltagem]

Phantom, Rocker & Slick later the great band!

[@xeokym223]

Wow, I never realized that the Stray Cats who played with Edmunds were the same Brian Setzer & the Stray Cats. I mean I guess I should have realized that but I never made the connection. :/

[@chewie2055]

God I want that white falcon ..... and who's playin it....😀❤️

[@richardleigh9161]

Great song from 1981 Shame it wasnt a big hit

[@da324]

It was for George Jones in 1964.

[@melgrant7404]

Yeah great song .love it

[@stevendimmock4791]

If Dave Edmunds can't make you sound good you may as well go home!

[@thebluesrockers]

This song was recorded by Led Zeppelins Record label, Swan Song Records.

[@lwplwp]

That was Dave's record company for many years.

[@slide4180]

I never knew Edmunds was a lead player...

[@rumginray]

+slide4180 McCartney hired him for Give My Regard to Broad Street. Check out his first 3-4 records!

[@epipick]

Listen to him play Mozart 's forte!

[@hannahs1683]

The first guy’s accent is interesting, it’s dead now but it sounds pleasant

[@SlipKnotRicky]

Dave kinda looks like George Jones with longer hair in some of those shots...... Possum! hehe

dave edmonds is..........OVERRATED. They could have had billy idol record it and it would have sounded even better.

[@genxr9553]

Andrew Gent Nope, edmunds aint shit when you've got vastly superior producers in L.A. in that time period. Brian was smart to go after the uk market though so hats off to him for taking the brits money.

Such bull.billy idol is not the man for this.dave has the right voice for this.no one could do it better than him.
