“Jesus Of Cool” by Nick Lowe - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1978 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s

Debut album from the 28-year-old singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist, taking some timeout as the bassist with Rockpile. Well versed in pop history, his brand of new-wave power-pop recalls everything from Buddy Holly to the Rolling Stones to Sweet to Dury's Blockheads. The album houses his greatest chart hit, “I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass” (UK #7). Smart.
