"I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock 'n' Roll)" is a song written by Nick Lowe and first popularized by Dave Edmunds. It was released on Edmunds's 1977 album ''Get It'' and a year later in a live version by Nick Lowe's Last Chicken in the Shop on ''Live Stiffs Live''. Lowe performed the song during a Stiff Records European tour with Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Wreckless Eric, and Larry Wallis; the tour was filmed for the 1981 documentary ''If It Ain't Stiff, It Ain't Worth a Fuck''. In 1985, Nick Lowe recorded a slower studio version for the album ''The Rose of England'', produced by Huey Lewis (on harmonica), and featuring Lewis' band "The News". Edmunds released several live versions over the years, from 1987’s ''I Hear You Rockin’'', to 1999’s ''KIng Biscuit Flour Hour Presents'', to 2005’s ''Live and Pickin’'', and 2011’s ''A Pile of Rock Live''. He also released a remixed studio version on 1999’s ''Hand Picked Musical Fantasies'', which also appeared on the 2004 release ''From Small Things: The Best of Dave Edmunds''. The original recording appeared on many of his compilation releases, including 1981’s ''The Best of Dave Edmunds'', 1994’s ''Chronicles'', and 2008’s ''The Many Sides of Dave Edmunds: The Greatest Hits and More''. Live versions featuring Edmunds and Lowe harmonizing appeared on two albums from Rockpile, the group featuring both singers, as well as Billy Bremner and Terry Williams. The official release was on the ''Live at Montreux 1980'' album in 2011, but the song was also on the much earlier bootleg album ''They Call It Rock'' from the late 1970s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= They Call It Rock )〕 ==Other appearances== Hunter S. Thompson's ''Songs of the Doomed: More Notes on the Death of the American Dream'', a 1990 anthology of essays and works of new journalism, has a chapter named after the song. The song is part of the ''Sounds of the Seventies: Punk and New Wave'' from Time-Life Records. British poet Hugo Williams titled his 11th book after the song; an earlier collection had similarly been named after an Everly Brothers song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Knew the Bride」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
