After recording the Dave Edmunds show last night, my buddy Chris Browne called and invited me to the Nick Lowe concert at the Boulder Theater. I mentioned Nick several times during the Dave Edmunds Cover Story, as the two were frequent collaborators, so the coincidence of seeing Nick Lowe on the same day (and Mr. Edmunds’ birthday) was too good to pass up.

The show was fantastic. It was Nick and his guitar in a solo acoustic performance. And in addition to playing several tracks from his latest album, At My Age, he covered his whole catalog of tracks, including some Rockpile stuff, and Brinsley Schwartz’ original version of “What’s So Funny (‘Bout Peace, Love and Understanding)”.

Nick is continuing his tour out East, touring with Ron Sexsmith, and I highly recommend you check him out if he’s coming to a town near you.
