└────────┘
As the leader of the seminal pub rockers Brinsley Schwarz, a producer, and
a solo artist, Nick Lowe held considerable influence over the development
of punk rock. With the Brinsleys, Lowe began a back-to-basics movement that
flowered into punk rock in the late '70s. As the house producer for Stiff,
he recorded many seminal records by the likes of the Damned, Elvis
Costello, and the Pretenders. His rough, ragged production style earned him
the nickname Basher and also established the amateurish, D.I.Y. aesthetics
of punk.
The title isn't entirely in jest - "Nick Lowe And His Cowboy Outfit" does
represent Lowe's reinvention as a roots-rocker, as he delves into Tex-Mex,
country-rock, garage rock and, of course, pop. After the muddled "The
Abominable Showman", "Cowboy Outfit" sounds positively vibrant, thanks in
no small part to Lowe's backing band, comprised largely of veteran
pub-rockers. The songs are also more consistently memorable, from the
Farfisa-driven "Half A Boy And Half A Man" to the sublime covers of Mickey
Jupp's "You'll Never Get Me Up In One Of Those" and Sandie Shaw's
"Breakaway".
The rest of the album's pleasures, however, are subtle. "Maureen" and
"God's Gift To Women" are charming yet slight, and the songs become
increasingly lightweight as the album approaches its close. Even with the
uneven songs, the "Cowboy Outfit" make the material appealing, and Lowe
certainly sounds more appealing - and comfortable - as a roots-rocker than
as an aging new wave popster.
Yep Roc is now releasing all Lowe's album's in remastered editions with
bonus tracks, here's "Nick Lowe And His Cowboy Outfit" from 1984 including
bonus tracks "Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor" and "Walk On By".
