Nick Lowe – 1985-10-19 – The Ritz, NY (FM)

Rockpile - Alone & Together #1: As long time readers of this blog know, I’m a big fan of Rockpile and its 2 front men, Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. So here’s a fourplay dedicated to both their work as a band and as solo artists. This WNEW-FM broadcast captures Lowe on Oct 19, 1985, 29 years ago today, at The Ritz in NY. Billed as Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit, this show also features Paul Carrack, of Ace and Squeeze fame, on the keyboards behind Nick. In fact, the set list includes Carrack’s two best know tunes, How Long and Tempted. Also, included is Shake and Pop, which is basically the same song as They Called It Rock, just with different lyrics for the chorus. Typical Nick Lowe, the master of satire! By the way, if you don’t own Lowe’s first album, Jesus of Cool, which was released in the U.S. as Pure Pop For Now People, then you’re missing one of the great pop albums of all time. .
