For about five years in the late '70s and early '80s, the U.K.-based supergroup Rockpile captivated audiences around the world. Though driven by their infectious energy and the imagination of the group's principle songwriter, Nick Lowe, it was Dave Edmunds' powerful vocals and melodic guitar work that help set the group apart. His smooth, confident voice executes the sort of punchy power-rock the group became known for.
