OL’NICK THE KNIFE’S BACK IN TOWN!

Nick Lowe is one of the nicest and most down-to-earth, guys in rock ’n’ roll. He’s the type of person you might have imagined your favorite pop stars to be like when you were a kid, but a type that appears to be more exception than rule these days. “Talent” is a trait that sometimes gives one the exclusive right to be an egocentric, temperamental jerk if one so desires, but—-make no mistake about it—Nick Lowe has loads of talent. It sounds a bit hokey and pretentious to label him a pop genius, so let’s just say he’s a master pop craftsman (songwriter, producer and performer) and one of the most important architects of the late. 70’s pop-rock revival.
