Nick Lowe - The Old Magic

It has been said of Nick Lowe that few musicians get better with age. Lowe is an exception and his sensational new album The Old Magic bears this out. "I'm sixty-one years old now, Lord I never thought I'd see 30," Nick Lowe sings on 'Checkout Time,'. 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", Lowe has mined fertile new creative ground in recent years and the eleven tracks on 'The Old Magic' dig deeper still. Listen to the first single from the album below and watch a video of Nick performing for NPR's 'Tiny Desk Concerts.'
