Nick Lowe - 1983-03-30 - New Haven, CT (FM)

Having brought you some post Rockpile, solo Dave Edmunds earlier this one, it seems only fitting we do the same treatment for Nick Lowe! In 1981 after the breakup of Rockpile, Lowe recorded a solo album entitled Nick The Knife. The disc, however, has several ties to his former band. First, it includes a slowed down cover of the Rockpile tune, Heart. Second, both drummer Terry Williams and guitarist Billy Bremner from the band back Lowe on the album. So too do guitarist Martin Belmont, from The Rumour and Paul Carrack, formerly of Squeeze. Then in March 1983, Lowe released an album entitled The Abominable Showman, which included the now well know tunes  Ragin' Eyes and Time Wounds All Heels.  Carrack and Belmont also played on that album along with James Eller and Bobby Irwin. Those 4 also served as his backing band when he went on tour in support of both albums in Spring 1983, as captured in this FM broadcast from Macrh 30, 1983, 28 years ago today.
