That's right, folks - Nick Lowe has released a Christmas album, and based on this song alone, it's one that I'm going to seek out pronto.
It's hard to believe that it's been more than 30 years since Lowe was considered one of the leading lights of the New Wave era, releasing [at least] two classic albums ("Pure Pop for Now People," "Labour of Lust") in the late 1970s as well as producing Elvis Costello's first five albums. In terms of musical style, Lowe was less New Wave than simply a great rocker who knew well enough to adapt to the times. On the other hand, one could argue that the times adpated to him. Either way, he deserves a spot in history, along with his mate Dave Edmunds and his bandmates in Rockpile.
Day 2 - "Children Go Where I Send Thee," Nick Lowe.
