Nick Lowe – The Rose Of England (CD)
Product Details
Originally released in 1985, "Rose of England" catches Nick Lowe at a fascinating crossroads, balancing his pub rock roots and Brinsley Schwarz past against an increasingly polished pop sensibility. His friendship and professional kinship with Costello, Hiatt, and Edmunds runs deep through this record, making it less a solo album than a document of an entire community of musicians trading songs and ideas across the Atlantic.
The Rose of England by Nick Lowe and his Cowboy Outfit - Teaming up again with his Cowboy Outfit, Nick Lowe's The Rose of England remains a highly engaging and often overlooked album. The title track tells a World War I-era tale that was sturdy enough to be covered by Brit-folkies The Oyster Band, and features a trademark Lowe hook. Nick took a huge swing at the charts, recording his version (previously recorded by Dave Edmunds, and played live by Rockpile) of his classic I Knew the Bride with pal Huey Lewis producing and his band the News providing the track. Fame and fortune may not have followed, but a solid batch of songs including covers of pals John Hiatt (She Don't Love Nobody) and Elvis Costello (Indoor Fireworks) rubbed shoulders with Nicks originals as well as Nicks most-covered cover (Moon Mullicans 7 Nights to Rock).
