Nick Lowe - Basher: The Best Of Nick Lowe (1989) RE-UP

Posted By: perfecta

Date: June 9, 2015

Nick Lowe may be best known as the producer of the best of Elvis Costello's 70's & early 80's albums, but he has crafted some the smartest & wittiest music around. Lowe came out of the early 70's English pub-rock scene, playing in the genre's biggest group, Brinsley Swarz. After he left the band, he going solo career. This compilation album is sequenced in chronilogical order and some the later songs are weak, especially compared to the early stuff, but one cannot complain when you get 25 songs on a single CD. If you love Nick Lowe, this album is indepensible and if you are unfamiliar with him, it is more than worth checking out.

Containing no less than 25 tracks, Basher: The Best of Nick Lowe is an excellent overview of Lowe's solo career, detailing how he evolved from a quirky, innovative new wave pop craftsman to a fine roots rocker. All of Lowe's absolutely essential songs – from "So It Goes" and "Heart of the City" through "Cracking Up," "Born Fighter," and "Cruel to Be Kind" to "American Squirm," "The Rose of England," "Half a Boy and Half a Man," and "Raging Eyes" – are here, and while Jesus of Cool and Labour of Lust are essential in their own right, Basher is a terrific introduction to his body of work.
