All rock and all power pop, "Live With What You Knows" is, by far, the strongest solo release of Dave Rave`s long solo career. Rave is an iconic pioneer from the 1977 punk explosion still active and creative with a resume that includes work with Alex Chilton, Jim Carroll, Johnny Thunders, Teenage Head, Steve Wynn, Jack Douglas, Nick Lowe, Daniel Lanois and lots more. "a collection of power pop gems by a true master of the form. Like his closest contemporary, the late Alex Chilton, Rave has had a tendency to be too spontaneous over the years, but on Live With What You Know, his focus is as sharp as it`s ever been. Even at 16 tracks, the album never lags; for every jangly rocker like "Anne-Marie" and "Rain Song" there`s a soaring, McCartney-esque ballad like "Siren Song #2" and "Station Road." This is easily the best work from a true unheralded Canadian legend."- Exclaim. Some of the proof is right here, below - dive into these soundbites and revel in the pop glory from a seasoned, uber-talented veteran showing the young guns out there, how to get it done - right! VERY Highly Recommended!!
