Twilley & Scuba Divers
Raven presents classic DWIGHT TWILLEY - two original albums never before on CD: Twilley (1979) and Scuba Divers (1982). Both albums have been on aficionado want lists for more than 20 years. Twilley, along with Big Star and the Raspberries, is one of the originators of power-pop. His unique blend of Beatlesque pop and Southern rockabilly influences enjoyed immediate success with two critically acclaimed albums Sincerely (1976) and Twilley Don't Mind (1977). However, the years 1979 to 1982 saw Twilley at the peak of his creativity. Twilley and Scuba Divers, on one impressive CD, feature many of the finest songs of his long career: Out of My Hands, Runaway, I'm Back Again, Later That Night etc. They represent Twilley at his melodic best. Also included as bonus tracks are the difficult to find 1979 single version of Somebody to Love b/w Money (That's What I Want). Twilley re-surfaced in the late 1990s with a series of warmly received albums, culminating in 2005's 47 Moons. With the rejuvenated Twilley's profile at its highest since the 1980s, this release provides a testament to his enduring influence and status as a key figure in the evolution and diversity of rock music.
