After Nick Lowe played bass on Dave Edmunds' previous release, SUBTLE AS A FLYING MALLET, Edmunds and Lowe started working together in earnest. While GET IT wasn't truly the first Rockpile album (Edmunds' next, TRACKS ON WAX 4, would have all four Rockpile members), it jumps out of the gate like something wonderful and ferocious. Where Edmunds' earlier albums always included a handful of great rocking numbers, GET IT was his first to really maintain a groove from beginning to end. A number of Lowe's and Edmunds' signature songs make their first appearances here, including "I Knew the Bride" and "Here Comes the Weekend." Produced, like all its predecessors, by Edmunds, GET IT's a richly detailed set of songs, warm and punchy throughout. Anyone who can cover both Bob Seger ("Get out of Denver") and Rodgers & Hart ("Where or When") on the same album and have it make sense is indeed a force to be reckoned with.
