Every once in awhile I trip across a song I haven't heard in some time and am reminded just how incredible it was in the first place. This time around it was trigged by my discovery on eMusic that Nick Lowe has a new best of out. So I went specifically after some of his Cowboy Outfit tunes that I wore out when they originally were released. The two I'm spinning to death all over again: "I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock and Roll)" and, especially, "The Rose of England." I don't know if these are the best songs Nick ever wrote, but they're head and shoulders above the best that most artists /ever/ write. So, you think Nick is underrated much? -- _______________________ *Sam Smith* * » RazzberrySync Mobile, Inc. * *: Principal* * » Black Dog Strategic * *: President* * » Lullaby Pit * *: Editor* * » Scholars & Rogues * *: Editor* *voice:* *303.229.0619 /m* *skype**:** * docsammy22 *usps**:* 5132 Grey Wolf Pl.
