5.0 out of 5 stars I Dig Nick's Mood, June 26, 2000

A wonderful album filled with Nick Lowe's trademark wordplay and soulful vocals(He's never sounded better).Perfectly played and recorded,this audio masterpiece will make you wonder why Nick Lowe isn't a household name(He shoud be).A perfect bookend to "The Impossible Bird" album,itself a "Five-star" recording.

This review is from: Dig My Mood (Audio CD)

Dig My Mood gets three and a half stars compared to the superb Impossible Bird. Expecting the twang of that masterpiece, I was initially disappointed in Mood. But a few spins persuaded me, in particular the songs Faithless Lover, Lonesome Reverie, Man That I've Become and Cold Grey Light Of Dawn. The sound at first appears to be of the Jim Reeves style of country, but there is definitely a lounge element. You Inspire Me, for example, is a jazzy number, balanced out by the uptempo country-pop of What Lack Of Love Has Done with its gently lilting melody.

The brooding Failed Christian is a sad, moving song with sympathetic backing, whilst the rhythmic uptempo Man That I've Become with its lovely tune is colored blue by the exquisite organ. This song being the closest to the sound of Impossible Bird, it is my favorite on the album. Freezing is another jazzy excursion, and is followed by the uplifting High On A Hilltop, another tuneful song with exquisite guitar infusions. Lead Me Not has a gospel feel with Nick in a different vocal style. The album concludes with the soulful rhythmic ballad Cold Grey Light Of Dawn.

Dig My Mood is another gem by this talented artist. The lyrics and the melodies are gripping and although I miss the twang of the unforgettable Impossible Bird, the organ here more than makes up for it. Nick Lowe is a highly accomplished musician and songwriter with a consistent output of quality music; I hope he gets more recognition one day.
