Nick Lowe: Dig My Mood
Clinton Walker, Rolling Stone (Australia), January 1998
WHO'D HAVE thunk it? Of the same vintage as Bonnie Raitt, old English country-pub-rocker Nick Lowe, Johnny Cash's son-in-law (Carlene Carter's ex-husband) and producer of the Damned and Elvis Costello, delivers an album that's as good as I've heard by anyone in ages. After years of obviously wasting himself on jokey novelties, Dig My Mood is an amazing, quite touching record, full of space and lightness of touch and darkness, and perhaps most importantly, brevity of the sort that's the soul of wit.
