Music reviews of Quiet Please: The New Best of Nick Lowe
Music Review: All the best in a two-CD package!
Rating: 5 Stars
In a prolific career spanning more than 30 years how on earth do you pick the greatest hits for a package? The answer is to make it a two CD set packed with 49 tracks that cover not only all the hits, but a huge number of fan favorites from over the years. While many artists tend to frequently repackage older material Lowe has largely eschewed that option and it's been nearly 20 years since "Basher," probably his best greatest hits package until now. While "Basher" was great compilation Lowe has continued to crank out consistently good CDs since that time which have largely been overlooked by the public even while garnering critical raves. That's a shame, because CDs like "The Impossible Bird" "Dig My Mood" and "At My Age" were all well worth the listen. The good news is you'll get samples from all of them here along with older classic Lowe material.
Lowe is probably best known to Americans for his hit "Cruel to be Kind" from nearly 30 years ago, but in his native England and elsewhere he's had more than 20 hits over the years. "Quiet Please" charts his growth and development into a truly talented musician with a knack for catchy tunes with quirky offbeat lyrics. And while most people associate Lowe's music with pub rock there's a bit more variety to his music than you'd expect, with traces of country, R&B, dancehall, Tejano and other influences. For a little variety there are tracks included from his earlier band Brinsley Schwarz, and from side projects such as Rockpile, and Little Village. Many of Lowe's mid-period CDs like "Nick the Knife" "Abominable Showman" and "Cowboy Outfit" are near impossible to find now, so this is about the only place you'll likely be able to find some of these tracks. I hadn't heard tracks like "Raging Eyes" or "Half a Boy" in ages and loved them and the videos from way back in the early MTV era...it was WELL worth the purchase price to hear them again! I can honestly say this compilation is not missing any track I wanted to hear, and that is the hallmark of a great compilation!
Description of Quiet Please: The New Best of Nick Lowe
Quiet Please... is the definitive career-spanning best-of from the British pop genius that makes all other collections obsolete. The 49-track compendium documents the development of one of popular music's greatest song crafters, from his pub rock days in Brinsley Schwarz and later Rockpile, to his now legendary solo career. Healthy doses of material from 20 different albums combine to make it clear why Lowe is credited by artists and critics alike with paving the way for punk as well as changing the face of pop music with albums like 'Jesus of Cool,' 'Labour of Lust' and 'At my Age.'Also available in a limited version with a DVD containing all of Nick's early videos, plus a full band concert from 2007!
