BRINSLEY SCHWARZ

Pub rock, the English roots rock movement of the early '70s, would never have earned 

a cult following if it wasn't for Brinsley Schwarz. Initially, Brinsley Schwarz was a rambling,

 neo-psychedelic folk-rock band that borrowed heavily from Crosby, Stills & Nash 

and the Grateful Dead. Following a disastrous publicity stunt to promote its debut album, 

the band went into seclusion outside of London and developed a laid-back, 

rootsy sound inspired by Eggs Over Easy, an American band that had been playing 

a mixture of originals and covers in English pubs. Following their conversion to pub rock, 

the Brinsleys ditched their pretensions of stardom and became a down to earth, 

self-effacing rock & roll band. Between 1971 and 1974, Brinsley Schwarz toured 

England innumerable times, playing pubs across the country. Along the way, 

they established a circuit for similar bands like Dr. Feelgood and Ducks Deluxe to follow

Silver Pistol wrote the blueprint for Brinsley Schwarz's pub rock, but Nervous on the Road perfected the group's 

sound, helping Brinsley to become the definitive pub rock band in the process. Nervous on the Road has a fuller, 

more detailed production than its predecessor, as well as a looser feeling -- even with the smooth production, 

it sounds like the band was captured on a good night at the Tally Ho. But what really makes the record is its 

excellent selection of songs, almost all of which were written by Nick Lowe. "Happy Doing What We're Doing," 

"Surrender to the Rhythm," and "Nervous on the Road" are all great rock & roll songs about rock & roll, spiked 

with an off-kilter sense of humor. "Don't Lose Your Grip on Love" is Lowe's first great ballad, while Ian Gomm's 

"It's Been So Long" is one of his best songs. And the covers of "I Like It Like That" and "Home in My Hand" 

are wonderful pub rockers, giving the album the feeling of an excellent concert. Nevertheless, what makes 

Nervous on the Road such a fine record is the combination of empathetic performances, unpredictable 

songwriting, and charming unpretentiousness, all of which help make the album 

one of the great forgotten rock & roll records...(AllMusic)
