Nick Lowe - Nick Lowe And His Cowboy Outfit (Reissue)

Nick Lowe And His Cowboy Outfit marks a turn towards a more rootsy persona for Lowe. Anchored by the international #1 “Half A Boy And Half A Man,” the album introduces a tex-mex/roller-rink organ sound. Newly discovered Johnny Horton covers “Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor” and “Walk On By” (bonus tracks) show there may have been a more twangy intention to the record - but as it is, full on rockers like “Maureen” and Mickey Jupp’s “You’ll Never Get Me Up (in One of Those)” rub shoulders with pop like Dusty Springfield’s “Breakaway” and Nick’s own “L.A.F.S.” (featuring the TKO Horns).
