Nick Lowe still has it, just not as much of it.

This album contains some of Lowe's best work, in my opinion.
"Big Hair" and "Black Lincoln Continental" really rock, and "Love gets strange" and "Wishing Well" also have the sound fans have come to expect from Nick Lowe.
I'll admit this isn't his best work, but it's still a solid effort and worth adding to your collection.

Solid Effort With Some Overlooked Gems

Not as great as his 1st two or the excellent 'Party of One' but also, definitely NOT one of the "worst albums of all time" (as a similarly-titled book opined a few years ago). If you like Nick Lowe you'll enjoy this CD. In fact, "Lovers Jamboree" (which features some fine Travis-style rockabilly pickin') & "Love Gets Strange" would be standouts on any Lowe album, although I prefer the Don Dixon verion of the latter, a John Hiatt tune.

Underrated Album From An Underrated Artist

Nick Lowe, it seems, just can't make a bad album, despite what critics might tell you. Pinker made the Rolling Stone list of worst albums of all time, but I honestly don't think the critics bothered to listen to it. "Lover's Jamboree' is as jumpin and catchy as anything on LABOR OF LUST and `Black Black Lincoln Congenital' is just fabulous. As a founding member of Brinsley Schwartz and producer of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe practically invented pub. His hooky roots rock is the definition of cool, and he is unafraid to acknowledge rock's debt to country music. Also worthy of note `Geisha Girl' and `Cry It Out'. Got it? Good!
