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.

Lowe's 1994 The Impossible Bird is a low-key, easy-going album which has a lot more to do with 1956 country music than with his '70s punk roots. Nonetheless the 13 songs--10 Lowe originals and three country chestnuts--are marked by the sort of no-frills arrangements and unpretentious passion that made pub-rock so special in the first place. When Lowe sings a ballad such as "The Beast in Me," "Withered on the Vine," and "Lover Don't Go," the arrangements are so minimalist--just a hint of guitar and drums behind the organ--that the song lives or dies by the vocal. Fortunately, Lowe pulls off the difficult trick of sounding lonely and desperate without sounding self-pitying. Whether it's a tongue-in-cheek rocker such as "12-Step Program (To Quit You Babe)" or one of the many ballads, Lowe hits the mark. The 2021 reissue of The Impossible Bird is newly remastered from the original tapes.
