Description
When Nick Lowe was approached by his record label about making a Christmas album, his reaction wasnt exactly one of comfort and joy.
It was more disquiet and alarm, accompanied by feelings of Do they really think I would wish to sully my good name on this tawdry and vulgar commercialism? Lowe says with a laugh. But that feeling lasted about thirty-six and a half seconds, before I came to and thought, Vulgar, tawdry commercialism? Yes, please, when do we start? Seriously, I thought, Wait a minute, this could be really good fun.
And so it was, Nick and cohorts had an absolute ball doing it.
Nick penned 2 NEW songs for the project, there is a co-write with Ry Cooder and a new Ron Sexsmith song. They also tackle the Wizzard classic I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day along with several other covers.
You might say its the kind of record that gives vulgar, tawdry commercialism a good name.
