For those of you who have been longtime visitors to So Many Roads, you know well that one of my favorite artists is the vastly under rated and always overlooked, Marshall Crenshaw. When I bought his self titled debut album in April 1982, soon after its release, I put it on my turntable and never took it off. Filled with Beatles and Buddy Holly influences (FYI - Crenshaw played John Lennon in an off-Broadway production of Beatlemania and portrayed Holly in the movie, La Bamba), the album, and tunes such as Cynical Girl, Someday Someway, and Rocking Around in NYC became favorites of FM deejays. Esteemed rock critic Robert Christgau rated the album an A, while Rolling Stone gave it 4 stars. The disc reached #36 on the Billboard charts by the summer of 1982. This soundboard recording captures Crenshaw out on the club circuit promoting his debut disc, on August 8, 1982, 3 decades ago today. Download this one, then go out and buy both Crenshaw’s debut album as well as its follow up, Field Day, which Christgau thinks was even better (and so do I)!

I agree, Marshall Crenshaw is one of the most underrated singer/songwriter/guitarists in the US. He has only gotten BETTER with time. Check out "Miracle of Science", it should be a classic!
I would love to see you post a later soundboard - 90's or '00's. Thanks for this!
Awesome - LOVE any Marshall Crenshaw you can post. This is a really great set!

Thanks so much for MC live! You write up reminded me of another artist you might enjoy, named John Paul Keith and the One Four Fives. Both their releases are stellar, but go to "The Man That Time Forgot" for his most recent and best! Keep up the most excellent work you do here!! NeilTRD1
Thanks also! Count me in too for another MC show soon. Any time period is fine with me. Great blog too.
