"Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit" is a 1984 album by British singer-songwriter Nick Lowe. The record marked the official debut of Lowe's new band, the Cowboy Outfit (although all of the band members had appeared on Lowe's previous album, The Abominable Showman). "Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit" incorporates more of a roots rock feel than Lowe's previous albums, including nods to Tex-Mex music ("Half a Boy and Half a Man"), 1950s guitar instrumentals ("Awesome"), and country music (via a cover of Faron Young's "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young"). Other notable tracks include the soul-influenced "L.A.F.S." - which was co-produced and arranged by Elvis Costello (a role reversal of sorts, as Lowe had produced Costello's first five albums).

"Quiet Please… The New Best Of Nick Lowe" is the definitive career-spanning best of from the British pop genius that makes all other collections obsolete. This 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 ombine 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.' A deluxe version of this two disc collection is also available, including a DVD of vintage original Lowe videos for tracks like 'I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass,' 'Cruel to Be Kind' and more as well as a full length solo concert filmed live in Belgium circa 2007.

SUPERB BROADCAST RECORDING FROM NICK LOWE & HIS COWBOY OUTFIT A pivotal figure in power pop and new wave, and formerly of pub rock, Nick Lowe s string of well-reviewed solo albums and classic singles, released since the late 1970s, have seen the great man achieve the status of legend. Alongside his vocal prowess, Lowe plays a mean bass guitar, piano and harmonica. Best known for the songs Cruel to Be Kind and I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass (a top 10 UK hit), as a member of Dave Edmonds Rockpile, and his production work for Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, and others, Lowe also wrote (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding , a hit for Costello. By 1984, Lowe released his fifth solo-album, Nick Lowe & Hs Cowboy Outfit, on which he was backed by his new band of the same name. The Cowboy Outfit included Paul Carrack (formerly of Squeeze, and before that one-hit-wonders, Ace), Martin Belmont (previously with Graham Parker s Rumour), Billy Bremner from Rockpile, and Bobby Irwin - Van Morrison s one-time percussionist - on drums. Lowe and his band went out on the road shortly after the release of.

Lowe once the cheeky chappy of British post-punk and New Wave – had a life before his great songs like What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding and his production work for Elvis Costello, Dr Feelgood, Graham Parker and others.
He'd been in pub rock bands before punk and had one eye on American country music as much as the bar for a few pints in Brinsley Schwarz and Rockpile.
