Nick Lowe – Lay It On Me (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Nick Lowe spent decades as one of rock's most reliable architects, producing Elvis Costello, the Pretenders, and the Damned before stepping fully into his own late-career renaissance as a singer and songwriter of uncommon wit. His ongoing partnership with Los Straitjackets, the masked instrumental outfit, has proven a natural fit, their retro instincts and his Brinsley Schwarz-rooted sensibility landing in the same pocket without effort.
Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Nick Lowe strikes again with a 2020 EP, Lay It On Me, where he is once again joined by his gang of masked musicians, Los Straitjackets. The limited edition EP features two new originals from Nick, 'Lay It On Me Baby' and 'Don't Be Nice to Me', plus a cover of Dorsey Burnette's 'Here Comes That Feeling' (made famous by Brenda Lee). Nick's wordplay and razor-sharp lyrics shine bright with the twang-friendly tones of Los Straitjackets behind him. On Side B of the EP is the first track that Nick has produced in over two decades that wasn't one of his own performances: Los Straitjackets turning Shocking Blue/Bananarama's 'Venus' into a surf rock staple.
