All I really know from him is "Going Down to Liverpool" (Bangles version) and "Walking on Sunshine". But, I figure if the guy can write 2 songs that damn good, he's gotta be capable of many more.

Anyone else know of any prime examples?
I would love to get some discussion of/love for Kimberly going on here.

Is there a tenner out there in the making?

(Just found this live EP at his website:
http://www.kimberleyrew.com/ridgeway.html
Will DL it now and report back.
But I'd still love a tenner from a knowledgeable fan.)

You know he was in the Soft Boys, right?

Also, the stuff he did with the Waves before Katrina joined is really good. The early albums with Katrina are also a great deal stronger than the glossed-up later pop crap that they became known for.

Yeah Rads, I know that he was in the Soft Boys. Listening to them today is what inspired this thread.

Thanks so much for all that information and the link!

What does that have to do with anything?
