The live bonus tracks captured here at Cleveland's Agora document a road-hardened band at full throttle, offering a rare window into how ferociously Lowe's material translated on a big American stage during his commercial peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNick Lowe's Abominable Showman was recorded with his post-Rockpile touring band Noise to Go. Following the blueprint of Rockpile, the band also featured a second lead vocalist in erstwhile Ace frontman Paul Carrack and had been featured on the Lowe-produced Carrack album Suburban Voodoo (as well as on this album s duet Wish You Were Here). This unit could play hard driving rock \u0026amp; roll and soulful pop music, all in evidence here from the opener (and concert favorite) Raging Eyes to the full on pop-soul of Time Wounds All Heels. And the band barnstormed the USA opening for the likes of The Cars and Tom Petty \u0026amp; the Heartbreakers which yields the bonus EP of live tracks from Cleveland s Agora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. We Want Action\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Ragin Eyes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Cool Reaction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Time Wounds All Heels\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Man Of A Fool\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Tanque-Rae\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Wish You Were Here\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Chicken And Feathers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Paid The Price\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Mess Around With Love\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Saint Beneath The Paint\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. How Do You Talk To An Angel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBonus Tracks\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Pet You And Hold You (Live)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Crackin' Up (Live)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love And Understanding (live)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 634457239821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yep Roc Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.14.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48744973140123,"sku":"344474","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-nick-lowe-abominable-showman-cd-relix.jpg?v=1781668099","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/nick-lowe-abominable-showman-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
