| From
the pub rock ashes in England, rose the pre-eminent popster, the harbinger
of the New Wave: Nick Lowe. Wonderfully witty lyrics, incredibly catchy hooks, and pristine production make this man THE most underrated person in the history of ock 'n' roll. Why Nick Lowe isn't in the Hall of Fame remains a mystery to me. |

| Continuing
to churn out great hook after great hook, Lowe decided to not worry
so much about sales and popularity, but to concern himself with honing his craft. And if by some odd twist of fate a single does appear ('Stick it Where the Sun Don't Shine') then all's the better, eh? |

Lowe is a pure, bona fide genius. Fantastic pop songs that say everything
they need to say in a few minutes. It's amazing how far reaching his influence is, yet so few people know of him. If yu like good, solid pop music that withstands the test of time, gets your foot tapping and brings a smile to your face, then this is the man for you. Start with this one then branch out from here. You won't be disappointed. |

Jazz. That's the best way to describe this CD, and it's great! Only Nick
Lowe could get away with an album in this dayand age that's as mellow and cool as this. |
