Album Review

Containing no less than 25 tracks, Basher: The Best of Nick Lowe is an excellent overview of Lowe's solo career, detailing how he evolved from a quirky, innovative new wave pop craftsman to a fine roots rocker. All of Lowe's absolutely essential songs — from "So It Goes" and "Heart of the City" through "Cracking Up," "Born Fighter," and "Cruel to Be Kind" to "American Squirm," "The Rose of England," "Half a Boy and Half a Man," and "Raging Eyes" — are here, and while Jesus of Cool and Labour of Lust are essential in their own right, Basher is a terrific introduction to his body of work.

Nick Lowe is a fantastic writer and singer. You really can't go wrong with this album.

They put these 'best of' compilations out and even the most casual listener would see glaring omissions. itunes would be best off coming clean with its customers and explain why it cannot provide (in many cases) some of the artist's best material.
