Soundcheck from WNYC   /     Nick Lowe's 'Second Act' As a Tender Singer-Songwriter, In-Studio

Description

English singer, songwriter, and producer Nick Lowe came out of the so-called pub rock scene in the UK in the 70s, and made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, The Pretenders, The Damned), had a "short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician", (Bandcamp.) But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he’s released a new set of songs full of more "cool tunes" and rockabilly-inspired guitar playing on a record called, Indoor Safari. Nick Lowe plays a solo set, in-studio. Set list: 1. Love Starvation 2. Different Kind of Blue 3. Cruel to Be Kind
