Rockin' is a budget-priced collection covering
Dave Edmunds' Columbia recordings. Which means, of course, that his biggest hits and best-known songs are present as live tracks, not the original hit single versions, and that the remaining cuts are culled from uneven records which were often hampered by
Jeff Lynne's heavy production. Therefore,
Rockin' doesn't capture
Edmunds at his best, but it does offer a fair overview of a decidedly uneven portion of his career. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
