Dwight Twilley

Dwight Twilley fused Rockabilly, mid-60s Anglo pop and Byrdy-style jangle into a distinctly reverberant sound.

In 1976 Twilley and his musical partner, Phil Seymour, released the exceptional I'm On Fire on Denny Cordell's Shelter label, although Shelter's lack of organisation delayed the release of Twilley's debut album, Sincerely (1976), by over a year.

In spite of glowing reviews praising the album's rich melodicism and sparkling production, Sincerely sank without trace. Nonetheless, it remains his finest album.

After the follow up, Twilley Don't Mind (1977), Twilley jumped ship to go to Arista, releasing a self-titled album (1979). Despite some brilliant power pop (Alone In My Room, It Takes A Lotta Love) problems at the label caused Twilley to move again, this time to EMI, where he released the LP Scuba Divers (1982).
