Description
Teaming up again with his Cowboy Outfit, Nick Lowes The Rose of England
remains a highly engaging and often overlooked album. The title track tells
a World War I-era tale that was sturdy enough to be covered by Brit-folkies
The Oyster Band, and features a trademark Lowe hook.
Nick took a huge swing at the charts, recording his version (previously recorded
by Dave Edmunds, and played live by Rockpile) of his classic I Knew the Bride
with pal Huey Lewis producing and his band the News providing the track.
Fame and fortune may not have followed, but a solid batch of songs including
covers of pals John Hiatt (She Dont Love Nobody) and Elvis Costello (Indoor
Fireworks) rubbed shoulders with Nicks originals as well as Nicks most-covered
cover (Moon Mullicans 7 Nights to Rock).
