LOVE SCULPTURE

DAVE EDMUNDS, JOHN WILLIAMS, BOB 'CONG0' JONES

A British blues-rock band of the late '60s that, despite being very good, would normally 

be relegated to footnote status if it were not for the fact that the lead guitarist of this trio 

was the soon-to-be-famous Dave Edmunds. Like many similar bands of the times, 

Love Sculpture was really a showpiece for Edmunds' guitar-playing talents (

which on the first LP are considerable), and little else. The covers are well-chosen, slightly revved-up, 

but mostly reverent versions of blues classics. They had a fluke hit in 1968 with a cover 

of the classical piece "Sabre Dance," rearranged for guitar. After two LPs, 

Love Sculpture split up in 1970. Edmunds went on to solo success 

("I Hear You Knockin'") and a long, sometimes contentious 

relationship with ex-Brinsley Schwarz bassist Nick Lowe, 

which culminated in the great band Rockpile

"BLUES HELPING"

As hyperkinetic blues albums by white English kids go, this is a good one. Dave Edmunds, armed only 

with a 1959 Gibson 335 and a 100-watt Marshall stack, cranks through these recognizable blues covers 

(with one original instrumental) with reckless abandon and gobs of technique. 

Backup support is handled by bassist John Williams and drummer Bob "Congo" Jones, who do their best 

to keep up and provide a rhythmic foundation for Edmunds to wail over. 

Edmunds also handled nearly all the vocals, and as blues singers go, he's merely serviceable, 

but what makes this album worthwhile is the revved-up guitar playing, especially
