If Sugar Was as Sweet as You by Rockpile (1980)


By 1980, pub rock veterans Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds had been performing and recording together for a few years. They had recorded unofficially on Dave Edmunds records and a Nick Lowe record. They would end up recording only one album officially under the Rockpile name, 1980's Seconds of Pleasure.

Rockpile is my idea of good "pop rock". There is nothing too deep here, just an updated cover of a good ole Joe Tex rock n' roll song with a hook and a catchy phrase.
