This is a fine selection, Robster, and a band that will certainly get some attention at my place when I get to the letter I. Up in the air about which version I like better today. Just a great song all around.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517162803591368615.post-72333889201150848422016-02-12T23:03:44.020+00:002016-02-12T23:03:44.020+00:00I have to recommend the album - If You Want To Def...I have to recommend the album - If You Want To Defeat Your Enemy... - it is such an emotionally charged and urgent album of quality rock and singer/songwriter compositions. Understanding Jane is just wonderful (either version), but it's Evangeline and When You Were Mine that are my favorite songs by Ian McNabb and his band. Icicle Works were always sort of part of Liverpool's second string, having to compete with the dominance of Echo And The Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes and even Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark and China Crisis, but McNabb and Co. never shrank from the hard work it took to make a name for themselves.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.com
