Brinsley Schwarz: Live Favorites

Following last year’s studio set from Brinsley Schwarz, Live Favourites is now available on limited red vinyl LP. Live Favourites was recorded just after the release of what turned out to be the band’s swansong recording. The line-up of the band at this time was Nick Lowe (bass and vocals), Brinsley Schwarz (guitar, sax and vocals), drummer Billy Rankin (although Pick Withers was behind the kit for this recording), Bob Andrews (piano, organ, sax and vocals) and Ian Gomm (guitar and vocals). This live set, played by a band that really knew how to tear the roof off the joint, drips with energy and passion.
