Singer, songwriter, producer, raconteur, Nick Lowe. I first learned his name from his production on Elvis Costello records, and his name on a great song like (What's So Funny 'bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding. In fact, Elvis makes an appearance on this record singing on the stand out track American Squirm. That said, Cruel To Be Kind is probably the tune most would recognize from this album, and it is a pretty great pop rock song. Diggin' deeper however, you come to gems like You Make Me, a super quiet love song like only Lowe writes. Another song that I love on the album is Cracking Up, which I first heard covered by Tom Petty on the Playback box set.
I made an American squirm
And it felt so right
