Cruel To Be Kind : The Life and Music of Nick Lowe
Nick Lowe - Book - by Will Birch
(2019)
Subtly
profound as well as wickedly entertaining, this biography does its
subject scintillating justice' MojoCruel to Be Kind is the definitive
account of Nick Lowe's uncompromising life as a songwriter and
entertainer, from his days at Stiff Records, to becoming the driving
force behind Rockpile, to the 1979 smash hit 'Cruel To Be Kind'. Nick's
original compositions have been recorded by the best in the business,
from enfant terrible of the New-Wave, Elvis Costello, to 'The Godfather
of Rhythm and Soul', Solomon Burke; from household names, including
Engelbert Humperdink, Diana Ross, and Johnny Cash, to legendary
vocalists such as Curtis Stigers, Tom Petty, and Rod Stewart. His
reputation as one of the most influential musicians to emerge from that
most formative period for pop and rock music is cast in stone.
He
will forever be the man they call the 'Jesus of Cool'. 'Nick's poise as
a singer, his maturity, and his use of tone is beautiful. I can't
believe it's this guy I've been watching since I was a teenager' Elvis
Costello, 2013'The master of subversive pop' Nick Kent, NME, 1977'Nick
Lowe is such a f*cking good songwriter! Am I allowed to say that?'
Curtis Stigers, 2016
