A British blues-rock band of the late '60s that, despite being very good, would normally be relegated to footnote status if it were not for the fact that the lead guitarist of this trio was the soon-to-be-famous <a href="spotify:artist:65Gh3BfK84aTIugiRCgLBA">Dave Edmunds</a>. Like many similar bands of the times, Love Sculpture was really a showpiece for <a href="spotify:artist:65Gh3BfK84aTIugiRCgLBA">Edmunds</a>' guitar-playing talents (which on the first LP are considerable), and little else. The covers are well-chosen, slightly revved-up, but mostly reverent versions of blues classics. They had a fluke hit in 1968 with a cover of the classical piece "Sabre Dance," rearranged for guitar. After two LPs, Love Sculpture split up in 1970. <a href="spotify:artist:65Gh3BfK84aTIugiRCgLBA">Edmunds</a> went on to solo success ("I Hear You Knockin'") and a long, sometimes contentious relationship with ex-<a href="spotify:artist:722MDCdw3Ee4SdESC4uy38">Brinsley Schwarz</a> bassist <a href="spotify:artist:3BqaUtuQmqIHg7B5Bc7fP7">Nick Lowe</a>, which culminated in the great band <a href="spotify:artist:4eBRIkqBA2GyYKzLvXD9a4">Rockpile</a>. Still, Love Sculpture, though slightly dated, is a hoot to listen. And <a href="spotify:artist:65Gh3BfK84aTIugiRCgLBA">Edmunds</a>, full of youthful bravado and dazzling technique, certainly knows his way up and down a fret board. ~ John Dougan, Rovi
