There's been a compilation released of roughly this time period called "The Wilderness Years," and a lot of songs here come from that.Īfter some false starts documented on the 1975 stray tracks album I posted already, including some strange Bay City Rollers tribute songs released under a pseudonym, his solo career got started for real with his great single "So It Goes" in mid-1976. All but three songs here are from 19, which is when his solo career was slowly getting started, but before "Jesus of Cool" came out. This stray tracks album covers the exact time of his career peak, so of course it's pretty damn good too. I have a whole series of albums I plan to post covering his work with Dave Edmunds and Rockpile. Not only did he put out his two best albums, "Jesus of Cool" in 1978 (also known as "Pure Pop for Now People" in the US), and "Labour of Lust" in 1979, but he toured extensively with Rockpile. But my favorite time period of his career has to be the late 1970s. I think he's been exceptionally consistently good, except in the 1980s, when his albums were patchy. Lowe has had a long and impressive career. I've been in a mood to listen to Nick Lowe lately, so here's some more from him.
