This is fantastic! The feel or the tempo is more remanisant of Marty Robbins version which came after guy Mitchells but Marty made it his own by far sold the most copies and charted higher than ANY one who has covered this. BUT this Rockpile is a nod to Marty's version with the Chuck Berry "crank" method infused to the song, Awesome !
@ppaulmorris You're kidding, aren't you? Not only has he taken an old country song & rocked it, he created a guitar intro that had never been done before. You think it's bad? Listen to that guitar intro again. With both ears, this time.
Ultra cool version of the 50's classic originally done by Guy Mitchell. Was never even aware of it until now! Thank heavens for the magic of you tube! THANK YOU so much for sharing this delightful "blast from the past" with us! :)
Love this guy DE never lets the side down and I love the Guy Mitchell and Tommy Steel versions too and Cliff and the Shadows has done a unique version as well recently
guy mitchell was always way ahead of the 50's but then here comes a guy who really gets rock and puts a great spin on it.dave has been one of my favs since Rockpile
Cliff & the Shadows version will be released on 14 Sep. Download it is you will found out the perfect sound and catchy vocals. It has been already played on BBC radio 2
The guitar Dave plays is a Gibson ES 335 and worth a fortune because it has dot markers on the fretboard instead of blocks. What a player! Anyone remember his first record 'The Stumble[ around '69?

I'm sure if Dave Edmunds hadn't done this, Shakin' Stevens would have, dressed in a jeans outfit in the video, no doubt...

Dave Edmunds does it great in A in 1980 - Cliff and the Shads do it great in G in 2009 - otherwise they're on the same hymn sheet. Both terrific!

Cliff Richard's version is a mere Shadow of this!
Hank even copies Dave Edmunds classic key change instrumental break!

A shadow, yes - a cover, yes - but a MERE shadow, no! C&S have done it just as well as this
