Comment:
It's easy to overlook Nick Lowe and forget what an important figure in the history of punk rock he is. Maybe it's his immense output, some of which is a bit spotty or overproduced. What's most impressive about him, I think, is how he has matured into an elder stateman of popular music in general. His most recent records are probably his most solid efforts - or at least they're my favorites, full of modern classics. Anywho, I've made this mix to present the case for Nick Lowe as a pop craftsman, brilliant lyricist, ace sideman, and general rock and roll hero. This mix showcases him at many points in his career and was made possible by a grant from Lo-Fi Jr. and Dean, fab AOTM-ers. The original version of this mix had a few more live rarities, but they didn't make the cut - perhaps a volume 2 will need to be made. The highest compliment I can pay Nick Lowe is that he's written at least half a dozen songs I'd kill to have created. And so it goes.Feedback:
yeah, but he was a wise guy when he was young, too - & don't we all love the sound of breaking glass?
This looks like a great trip along the Lowe road.

Nice picks here Sean.
looking great(but i miss American squirm)
A smashing mix to a hero of rock n roll. If he had only written the last track that would make him a hero in itself, but as it is this whole mix is one to die for.
Excellent work, a gem of a songwriter.
This is very nice.
Very nice!
Great compilation from, as you said, an oft-overlooked figure. Virtually omnipresent at the start of every "scene", I'm baffled as to why he doesn't get the credit he deserves....almost justifies breaking glass!
Great. I want one.
This is terrific. Nick Lowe is one heck of a songwriter!
Rob Lowe is some kind of pervert, right?
What a great songwriter. I need to listen to more Nick Lowe.
Excellent. I've been wanting to do one of these for a long time (none of the commercially-available Nick Lowe packages out there include both his solo works and Brinsley Schwarz days). I'm far less familiar with his latter-day work; my own version would probably lean far more heavily on Brinsley and the first album, but yours is far more well-rounded. [And note to Gerald: Yes, Nick wrote "Peace, Love & Understanding"; apparently the residuals on Elvis' version are what keep Lowe solvent.]
Apparently, there's a lame-o version of Peace.. on the Bodyguard soundtrack. That's what keeps him solvent.
and everyone knows why it's on the soundtrack 'cos it's not in the film, but it made Nick a millionaire (the real reason are according to Nick, that Kevin Costner wanted Nick to produce an album by him.)
yeah good old pub-rock! i'd like to hear that mix one day!!
Contains the overlooked All Men Are Liars.That's a good thing in itself.
Ecellent mix - and it includes the gem "There's a cloud in my heart" with the unforgettable lines "and there's no substitute/
although I got to admit some were really cute"
