A great C.D.
This is one of his best pieces of work. His voice is more mature, and his singing is far smoother than his younger stuff.

Older, wiser, better
Back in the day, one often wondered what would happen to the punk-rockers who railed against dinosaur rock acts when *they* aged. Here's one answer, in the form of a thoroughly enjoyable album.

Of all the Stiff-era literate punk rockers, Nick Lowe has aged the best, neither holding on to the snotty-young-man persona until it's off-putting (Elvis Costello) nor losing his edge and wit completely (Dave Edmunds). Here's a collection of songs that are mature in outlook, mellow and tasteful in execution, yet as knowing and sharp as anything he wrote in the '70s. From the title and artwork to the burnished leather of his voice, Lowe has embraced rather than fought against the march of time.

Recommended.

A perfect morning after record!
As an old-time Nick Lowe fan, I was unsure what to expect from him as he's middle aging. What he's created is a bunch of heart-felt songs that are all very pleasing to the ear. The tracks are a wonderful mix of pop anc country, and the horns (which concerned me) are a great compliment. No "I Knew The Bride"-esque tracks, but not dull either. Perfect record to cleanse the sins from the night before.
