5.0 out of 5 stars Nick Lowe's best album, November 30, 1998

Without a doubt, this is the album where Nick Lowe's talents came together -- his humor, sense of melody and singing make this one of the best albums from the British group that included Rockpile and Elvis Costello. You'll be humming these songs for months.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dollar changed my outlook, March 22, 2003

This review is from: Nick the Knife (Audio CD)

The year was 1989 when I bought this album for a buck in Chicago at a garage sale. I already knew that I loved Costello and Lowe and Squeeze. At first, I found the songs catchy, easy to live with. Then they grew on me exponentially and it became clear that Nick Lowe had the ability to take his Buddy Holly and his 1960s American country music influences and turn them into catchier british grooves with sardonic lyrics. Listen closely to the play on the blues and rockabilly beats. This is one of my top three favorite albums of all time. As much as I love Costello, I am not sure he would have been what he was without Lowe.

5.0 out of 5 stars When I was young love was fun & I was so Happy!!, July 19, 1999

Oh what a sound! Nick's got the knack to create those catchy little ditties that make you tap your feet and stir your emotions. A brilliant use of quirky sounds and deep, thought-provoking lyrics makes for great british pop rock! Listen once, then listen again!
