Nick Lowe is an English singer-songwriter, musician, and producer. Born on March 24, 1949 in Walton-On-Thames, England, UK. He has had a successful career spanning several decades. From 1979 to 1990 he was married to Carlene Carter and is currently married to Peta Waddington.

With his unique blend of rock and pop music, Nick Lowe has become a highly influential figure in the industry. His sound is often compared to artists such as Rockpile, Graham Parker, Brinsley Schwarz, and Dave Edmunds.

Throughout his career, Nick Lowe has collaborated with many talented musicians including Elvis Costello & The Attractions and Richard & Linda Thompson. His contributions to the music world have earned him a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.

While “Cowboy Outfit” has a slightly different meaning as UK Slang, Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit marks a turn towards a more rootsy persona for our hero. Anchored by the international number one “Half a Boy and Half a Man”, the album introduces a tex-mex/roller-rink organ sound, although the lineup of Bobby Irwin, Paul Carrack, Martin Belmont and Lowe is essentially unchanged. Newly discovered Johnny Horton covers “Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor” and “Walk on By” (included here as bonus tracks) show that there may have been a more twangy intention to the record-- but as it is full on rockers like “Maureen” and Mickey Jupp’s “You’ll Never Get Me Up (in One of Those)” rub shoulders with pop like Dusty Springfield’s “Breakaway” and Nick’s own “L.A.F.S.” (featuring the TKO Horns who had recently punched up arranger Elvis Costello’s own “Everyday I Write the Book”).
