Biography
Walton-on-Thames, England (1966 – present)
Cruel to Be Kind”, as well as his production work with Elvis Costello. Along with vocals, Lowe plays guitar, bass guitar, piano, and harmonica.
In addition to his band membership, Lowe has recorded a string of well-reviewed solo albums. Lowe began his recording career in 1966 as a member of Kippington Lodge, founded with his friend Brinsley Schwarz, which released a few singles on Parlophone. Three years later Kippington Lodge had changed its name to Brinsley Schwarz and its musical focus to country- and blues-rock.
After leaving Brinsley Schwarz in the mid-1970s, Lowe began playing in Rockpile with Dave Edmunds. In August 1976 Lowe released “So It Goes” b/w “Heart of the City”, the first single on the Stiff Records label where he was in-house producer (the label’s first EP was Lowe’s 1977 four-track release Bowi, apparently named in response to David Bowie’s contemporary LP Low) . On this and other labels, Lowe would go on to produce The Damned’s Damned Damned Damned and many albums by Elvis Costello. Upon moving from Stiff to Jake Riviera’s Radar and F-Beat labels, Lowe became extremely selective in his choice of production tasks.

I Read A Lot would have made for a great Nat King Cole vehicle, I reckon.

The deep, dark voice that is Tanita Tikaram reflects on her collaboration with the legendary Nick Lowe and reveals why her hit song, "Twist In My Sobriety," isn't really about drinking at all (despite what Liza Minnelli may tell you!): http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/tanita_tikaram/

If you can see him live, do it. Saw him last night in Toronto and he's still got 'the old magic' :-)

I'm familiar with his work with Elvis Costello, but not as much with his own material... any suggestions as to what albums of his to check out first?

Anyone new to Nick Lowe (seems to be a resurgence of interest since Wilco resurrected 'I love my label') should check out Lowe's previous bands; Rockpile, Brinsley Schwarz, and if you can find it, Kippington Lodge - KL was his first band and they played some awesome psychedelic stuff in the late 60s.
