This is pure Cajun Wales, London and New Orleans mix. Such a powerhouse sound full on Johnny Allen. Is that Andy Fairweather Low? Tight as a drum lean and clean!

This was recorded by BBC Wales on a St, David's Day, back in '94. I was lucky enough to be there, it was a line up of the best rock musicians ever to come out of Wales, maybe even the UK. Dave and Mickey are up there with Knopfler, when it comes to rockabilly stuff. The line up is, Dave Edmonds, Mickey Gee, Pino Palladino, Andy Fairweather Low, Geraint Watkins and Clapton's awesome drummer, Henry Spinetti. R.I. P. Mickey, rock on guys, fantastic, so proud you are all Welsh.

Elsewhere on YT you can find an interview of Dave Edmunds relating the story of how he played with Chuck back in the mid-80s as part of Chuck's 60th birthday celebrations, and Chuck was so impressed he let Dave play the leads, and said at the end 'Who says a white man can't play the blues?'. I've also heard another interview from Chuck himself commenting on one of Dave's songs (Queen of Hearts) saying Dave had a real feel for rock n roll...High praise indeed from the true king of rock n roll.
