I Hear You Rockin’ is a live album released by The Dave Edmunds Band in 1986[3] on Columbia LP record 40603.[4]

Background

[edit]

This “live” album was tweaked in the studio by Edmunds, who is known for his production perfectionism.[1] It was to be his last solo effort for Columbia, and mostly features songs already associated with Edmunds. Two songs were previously un-recorded by him, “Paralyzed” and “The Wanderer.” [5]

Reception

[edit]

This album entered the Billboard 200 album charts on January 31, 1987 and remained on the charts for twelve weeks, peaking at position #106.[4] The album has been reviewed as “energetic,” “enjoyable,”[1] and “excellent.”[6]
