Dave Edmunds is back with his latest compilation album, "Swan Songs: The Singles 1976-1981," and it's a rollicking good time from start to finish. Known for his infectious blend of rockabilly, country, and pop, Edmunds is a true master of his craft, and this collection showcases some of his finest work.
