Yeah!! I`m a freak for Dave Edmunds` "Tracks On Wax" album and this is
about as close as anyone who is as `in love` what album as you are going
get. Bremner of course was in Rockpile along with Edmunds and Nick Lowe and
"No Ifs, Buts, Maybes" evokes the spirit of Rockpile better than probably a
reformed Rockpile would do, quite honestly. There`s 12 trax here and there`s
not a bad one in the bunch, just a whole not of great rock `n roll in the
vein of Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds and Rockpile. Great review and
information on Bremner w/ the following - read on! "Rockpile had a gimmick
of switching between two leaders, Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Besides
backing each of these two artists on their solo records, the band would
function as the backup band to whoever had a solo album out at the time. If
Lowe had an album fresh out, he would lead the band and give Edmunds and
Bremner short showcases and if Edmunds had one out, the situation would
reverse and Lowe would get a short set.
That worked out well until the band`s fans started clamoring for a true band
album. Thinking it a good time to consolidate their careers around the band
and put their solo doings on hold, Lowe and Edmunds acquiesced and a
Rockpile album was born. Their lone CD, Seconds of Pleasure is a great disc,
and, true to form, features Lowe and Edmunds trading off on songs except for
two lead vocal spots given to Bremner. But, despite working together so well
before, egos started to emerge once the band was formed and Lowe and Edmunds
decided they didn`t want to be in a band together any more. Each has said
that in hindsight Bremner should have been leader as he was just as good of
a frontman as either of them and it would have kept all the egos in check as
Bremner was more stable of a personality....All of this has culminated with
his best work yet, No Ifs, Buts, Maybes which has some of his best guitar
playing ever - he plays like John Fogerty on crack on this one, but still
tastefully and tight - and his catchiest songwriting to date. This is a must
have for pub rock fans who love their roots rock and still pine away for
Rockpile. Please buy this and encourage Bremner to put out more of this
great stuff. Rockpile may be gone but Bremner`s still piling on the RAWK -
and it just keeps getting better and better all the time. Billy, you are a
hero."-LostInTheGrooves. Extremely Highly Recommended!!
