Gadfly Records is proud to announce the release of "A Good Week's Work," a triumphant return to center stage for rock guitar legend BILLY BREMNER.Bremner, known to most for his work in ROCKPILE (with Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Terry Williams), has also made his mark as a sideman for The Pretenders (playing lead on "Back on the Chain Gang" and "My City Was Gone"), Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Kirsty McCall, and many others. With "A Good Week's Work," he steps back out front for a no-holds-barred effort featuring plenty of rock sprinkled with some power pop -- the formula that made Rockpile a late '70s/early '80s favorite.Recorded in early 1998 in northern Sweden (close to the Arctic Circle!), "A Good Week's Work" was literally recorded and mixed in seven days -- a tribute to Bremner's abilities as a guitar whiz and his strong rhythm section. All 13 tracks are Bremner originals (many co-written with producer-writer Don Morrell) that showcase what he does best: no-bull guitar-driven rock delivered with heart and finesse.Born and raised in Scotland, Bremner was noticed quickly for his guitar prowess as the British pub-rock scene exploded in the '70s. His relationship with Edmunds and Lowe resulted in a number of musical and songwriting contributions to their solo albums but only the one "official" Rockpile album: the now-legendary "Seconds of Pleasure" (CBS, 1980), which featured Bremner on lead vocals on two cuts. After the group's demise, Bremner recorded one release of his own, which barely saw the light of day, then continued working as a much-in-demand sideman.Billy spent nine years in Los Angeles before relocating to Nashville in the early '90s, where he focused on writing and continued providing ace musical backing to name artists. In the mid-'90s he moved to Sweden, where he has been fronting The Refreshments, a popular rock outfit that has recorded two CDs for BMG Sweden.

When David Geffen convinced Richie Furay, Chris Hillman, and J.D. Souther to join forces to form a country-rock supergroup, it seemed like an inspired suggestion. Crosby, Stills & Nash's folk-rock had scored big with a similar idea, while bands such as the Eagles, who recorded for Geffen's ...

On their 15th go at '70s song archaeology, Rhino dishes up the decade's kaleidoscopic music menu in all its intriguing and over-the-top glory. Tapping the 1975-1976 period, the 12 cuts take in indelible novelties (C.W. McCall's 18-wheeler hit "Convoy"), '50s nostalgia (Pete Wingfield's "18 With a Bullett"), Defranco Family-issue kitsch (David Geddes' "Run Joey Run"), and glam pop (Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night"). There's also plenty of soul and funk variants, like Jigsaw's disco symphonic "Sky High," Joe Frank Hamilton's blue-eyed "Fallin' in Love," and Hot Chocolate's dancefloor-filling "Sexy Thing." The maturation of the singer/songwriter is also essayed (Janis Ian's still-solid "Seventeen"), while a country tearjerker finds its crossover legs (Jessi Colter's "I'm Not Lisa"). A few duds, a few gems, and a fair share of songs you will not need to hear a third time around. ~ Stephen Cook
This might have been one trip into the past that Rhino Records should have thought about very hard before making. Oh, there are two really good moments here, Cliff Richard's sole thrust at U.S. success, "Devil Woman," and the Sanford/Townsend Band's upbeat, catchy "Smoke From a Distant Fire," but otherwise a lot of this CD is given over to records that -- unless you had a lot of good times listening to the radio while driving during the late Ford ...
