Billy Bremner - Singled Out (2018)

2018 collection from the veteran guitarist. One of the great sidemen in rock, known especially for Rockpile, Pretenders, Nick Lowe, and Dave Edmunds, to which you can add scores of sessions for the likes of Elvis Costello, Carlene Carter, Shakin' Stevens, Any Trouble, Phil Everly, Pat McLaughlin, Kelly Willis, Rosie Flores and many more. RPM is pleased to single Bremner out from the groups and sessions to focus on his solo work, finding that since his debut in 1977 Billy has released ten singles. Singled Out is the cream of the crop, the best singles sides most representing the Billy Bremner sound. The second focus is Bremner's songwriting as all but three of the songs on this compilation are written or co-written by Bremner. We kick off with the latest single recorded by Bremner in summer 2018, two songs in the Bremner style showing the light is still burning brightly. As a bonus, we present a number of excellent unreleased demos, again written by Bremner, which include the original demo of 'Loud Music In Cars' produced by Bremner and Will Birch to get the Stiff deal. Also included are the original demo's for the Dave Edmunds covered 'Creature From The Black Lagoon' and 'Trouble Boys'.
