Up on the Lowedown (Again)


Last year, I put together two Nick Lowe mixtapes. And since you can never go wrong with Mr. Lowe, here's Volumes 3 and 4. Now you may wonder why I've only included 2-3 tracks from his Brentford Trilogy (The Impossible Bird, Dig My Mood, The Convincer). My reasoning is that those albums are so perfect (even the sequencing of the songs is magnificent), they should be heard as such. And besides, it might have meant getting rid of Shake That Rat. :)

@anonymous,

Indeed, Nick is one of a kind (and I'm very excited to see him with a full band when he tours this fall)

This is my annual request for a re-up. :) Any way you could re-up all four volumes of Up On The Lowedown? (And also both volumes of Detour To Fist City.) Thanks!

@KathyB,

Done and done (and done)! :) Always happy to honor a request to re-up.

best,
Ish

In that case, I've got a list... and I might be bugging you more frequently.
The new link to Volume 4 appears to go to Volume 3 again. (Did I say thanks?)

@KathyB,

Just fixed it (can't get good help these days :). I can't say I'll always get to them quickly and if it's an out of print album that is back in print, I'll have to demur. Otherwise, request away....
