4.0 out of 5 stars Top o' the line, April 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rose of England (Audio CD)

If you're in a country kinda mood, you can do worse than turn to the Godfather of Punk, Popmeister Extraordinaire, Nick Lowe. I'm biased - I love this guy. This was the first NL recording I bought, and I've never looked back. It contains old classics (I Knew the Bride), new classics (John Hiatt's She Don't Love Nobody), the weird (Bobo Skediddle Daddle) and the wonderful (Long Walk Back). Still in his Cowboy Outfit mode, this is a more mature offering, more balanced, more thoughtful. All of which is offset by the everybody-skate loopiness of Darlin' Angel Eyes. You work it out.

So the "Rose of England" isn't Rockpile? So what? This is a really terrific album. It features mostly songs by Nick but also John Hiatt's "She Don't Love Nobody" as well. I like the song he does with Huey Lewis and the News "I Love The Bride (When She Used To Rock and Roll". But beware if you're an HLN fan, because the rest of the album doesn't sound like that song. My favorite track is the title cut "The Rose of England". The Cowboy Oufit is a great group, with and without Huey Lewis and the News. I can't imagine why it's not out on CD anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars HIS BEST!!!, June 22, 2007

Amazing that his best work is perhaps the hardest to find. Preferable, to me (a major fan), to any of the greatest hits compilations (except of course the box set). We have here a microcosm of all that is good about rock music: one of the best rock songs ever (Rose of England), a bass-driven instrumental (Long Walk Back), a flat out stomper (I Knew the Bride), a tender ballad (I Can Be The One You Love), and so on. You'll still be smiling from the enjoyment of one just completed track when this CD takes you off in still another pleasant direction. Seek it out. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention; following the unwritten rule of great albums, you have the requisite one clunker (Bo Bo Skediddle). Sorry about that. But you won't mind too bad.
