NICK LOWE "Pinker & Prouder Than Previous" 1988

Underated! Overlooked! Absolutely!Nick Lowe, it seems, just can't make a bad album, despite what critics might tell you. Pinker made the Rolling Stone list of worst albums of all time, but I honestly don't think the critics bothered to listen to it. "Lover's Jamboree' is as jumpin and catchy as anything on LABOR OF LUST and `Black Black Lincoln Continental' is just fabulous. As a founding member of Brinsley Schwartz and producer of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe practically invented pub. His hooky roots rock is the definition of cool, and he is unafraid to acknowledge rock's debt to country music. Also worthy of note `Geisha Girl' and `Cry It Out'. Got it? Good! - By "orangeduke" (Cupertino, Ca United States)the band:
Nick Lowe/vocals, bass, acoustic guitar, Martin Belmont/electric guitar, Paul Bassman/bass, Paul Carrack/piano, organ, Terry Williams/drums, John Hiatt/guitar, Bobby Irwing/drums, Pete Thomas/drums, Geraint Watkins/keyboards, John David/bass, Mickey Gee/guitar, Kim Wilson/harmonica, Jimmie Vaughan/electric

trax:
1. (You're My) Wildest Dream 2. Crying in My Sleep 3. Big Half 4. Love Gets Strange 5. I Got the Love 6. Black Lincoln Continental 7. Cry It Out 8. Lovers Jamboree 9. Geisha Girl 10. Wishing Well 11. Big Big Love

I had this on vinyl, and usually left it on the shelf when I wanted to hear Nick Lowe. But I gave it the "car test" and found it's actually better than I remembered. Thanks for the post.
