Monday Morning Video: Dave Alvin

by in Americana, Videos

The arrival of new music from Dave Alvin has sent me scurrying through his impressive back catalog. Here is “Haley’s Comet,” one of my personal favorites from Alvin’s seminal outstanding solo release Blue Blvd.
“Do you know who I am,” said Bill Haley in a pancake house near the Rio Grande; the waitress said “I don’t know you from diddley, to me you’re just another tired old man.”

    Ya, Dave’s been at it since the get-go. His early work with the Blasters is particularly good.
