Mit "The Old Magic" veröffentlicht Nick Lowe sein neues Album, sein erstes seit vier Jahren. Inzwischen ist Nick Lowe 61 Jahre alt, musikalisch aber besser wie nie zuvor, und sein neues Meisterwerk besticht mit acht grandiosen neuen Songs sowie drei Coverversionen von Elvis Costello, Tom T. Hall und Jeff West.
"The Old Magic" wurde in London mit Lowes Begleitband feat. Geraint Watkins (Keyboards), Steve Donnelly (Gitarre) und Robert Treherne (aka Bobby Irwin, Schlagzeug) aufgenommen. Weitere Musiker, die sich darauf die Ehre geben, sind u. a. Ron Sexsmith, Paul Carrack und Jimmie Vaughan. Das Album wurde von Lowe und Neil Brockbank und Treherne produziert.
"I'm sixty-one years old now, Lord I never thought I'd see 30," Nick Lowe sings on "Checkout Time," a song from his first new studio album in over four years, 'The Old Magic,' set for release on Yep Roc.
The line cuts right to the quick. For though he spent his 20s "busy not fitting into three successive movements: pub rock, punk and new wave" (NY Times), Lowe has mined fertile new creative ground in recent years and the eleven tracks on 'The Old Magic' dig deeper still. As NPR observes, "Few musicians get better with age. Nick Lowe is an exception."
'The Old Magic' was recorded in London with Lowe's crack backing band anchored by Geraint Watkins (keyboards), Steve Donnelly (guitar), and Robert Treherne (a. k.a. Bobby Irwin, drums). Additional musicians include Ron Sexsmith, Paul Carrack, and Jimmie Vaughan among others. The album was co-produced by Lowe, Neil Brockbank, and Treherne.
Amidst urbanely insistent grooves ("Sensitive Man"), and spare-yet-imposing shuffles (the afore mentioned "Checkout Time"), 'The Old Magic' features three exceptional, recently road-tested Lowe ballads - album opener "Stoplight Roses," "House for Sale" and "I Read A Lot." Then there's "Restless Feeling," a shimmering dance tune worthy of the roller rink that Lowe wrote for a fictional band he calls Coastline. As is his custom, Lowe also peppers 'The Old Magic' with three covers - by Elvis Costello, Tom T. Hall and Jeff West - that fit seamlessly with his originals.
Nick Lowe's last album, 2007's 'At My Age,' was hailed as "utterly fantastic" by the Village Voice and tallied his best single-week sales of the Soundscan era. Since then, Yep Roc has reissued Lowe's long-unavailable first two albums 'Jesus of Cool' and 'Labour of Lust,' to great acclaim. In 2009, Lowe gave his first headlining performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Later this month he will play the Meltdown and Glastonbury festivals in the UK, with autumn U. S. tour dates to be announced soon.
,,"The Old Magic" grüßt schon auf dem Cover sarkastisch mit einem frivolen Mädchen aus Großvaters Spind - die Songs sind Meisterstücke der melancholischen Abendunterhaltung, der gepflegten Dämmerungsmusik, des manierierten Schmachtfetzens." (Rolling Stone, September 2011)
,,Vier Jahre nach seinem letzten Studioalbum ,,At My Age" meldet sich der Songwriter und legendäre Produzent (Elvis Costello, The Damned) aus England mit einer wundervoll relaxten Platte zurück.
Man hört den elf Songs förmlich an, in welch entspannter Atmosphäre sie eingespielt wurden." (Sono, September / Oktober 2011)
,,Weil schon 61, schreibt er Songs, die so restlos anachronistisch wie zeitlos klingen - ganz wie Tin-Pan-Alley-Evergreens, Cole-Porter-Klassik und Nat ,,King" Cole-Balladen." (Stereo, Oktober 2011)
,, ... süße Melodien mit zartbitterer Sophistication, dazu Bacharach-Bläser, Heimorgelschwoof und ein perlendes Costello-Cover." (Stereoplay, November 2011)
