Dave Kusworth, a Birmingham-born English rock singer and songwriter, died this past week. He was 60. Dave co-founded The Jacobites in the mid-80s with the late Nikki Sudden (d. March 2006). He played in or with a number of other bands (including T.V. Eye, The Bounty Hunters, The Tenderhooks, The Rag Dolls). He has an impressive discography, but, predominantly, it's on the CD format. You have to love that he retained his Exile-era Keith Richards' "look" throughout his four decades-plus as a rock romantic, lyrically and musically. If any of these tracks intrigue you, do the homework to discover more... |
