Another Nick Lowe production, naturally. Buggered if I know what's this Van Morrison comparison everyone's going on about, but it always comes up in connection with Springsteen, Lynott, Seger, Graham Parker, and George Formby, too, no doubt. Elvis Costello is the latest to be numbered among these champions, but I can't see it myself. Anyway, this is a fine record with a great organ sound and odd lyrics in the vein of "So It Goes," that make you do a double-take. The guy's got a classic teen voice, as well, and on the sleeve looks wetter Jonathan Richman.
