America’s Lucha Libre guitar heroes, Los Straitjackets, have toured with Nick Lowe for over a decade and back up the Jesus of Cool himself on his critically-acclaimed 2024 studio album, Indoor Safari.
Tour van discussions with Nick’s co-producer, Neil Brockbank, led to the speculation: What would Nick’s songs sound like as instrumentals?There was only one way to answer the Straitjackets delved into Nick’s catalogue — from Brinsley Schwarz through Rockpile to his late career as a soulful pop stylist — and came up with original arrangements of some of Nick’s most iconic Brockbank in the producer’s chair, the band veers from Pop (“Rollers Show”) to Twang (“All Men Are Liars”), even Exotica (with the Bolero-flavored “I Read a Lot”), and of course surf (“I Live on a Battlefield”).
Here are 13 unforgettable melodies delivered with the flair that only Los Straitjackets can provide.
