Why Does Phlegm Taste Like Blood

Winery Vinyl: Nick Lowe


Our work of exhumation Music still going strong. On the shelf we found a 45 rpm of an interpreter, speaking in electoral terms, it would not overcome the barrier of 4%. The name is Nick Lowe .
Your question is more than obvious (Who is it?). The answer is: "I do not even know us."
But, like any good musical anthropologists have discovered that Nick Lowe was the precursor of a genre that is still very much in vogue and that is the springboard of many songwriters. Today it is called paying dues, basement, floor-pub in the 70s was the pub-rock. It consisted of bands or singers, who played rock music, blues and country in British pubs overflowing and clouded by smoke balls.
And he was one of these restau-goers singing. Another interpreter, who started from the pub-rock was Elvis Costello. Coincidentally, the two were able to cooperate. " (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding " (1979), was written by Lowe to his Costello. It was quite a success as it was a song that maybe you can define his warhorse, "Cruel to Be Kind " recalling, not vaguely, the musicality of the songs of the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
We try not to get it back into oblivion sound ...
