Nick Lowe

Nick Lowe is the kind of artist I rate more the longer I listen. He never leaned on flash; he served the song, whether singing his own wry pop or producing records for others. Spanning pub rock, power pop and new wave, he's a craftsman who plays guitar, bass, piano and harmonica with equal ease. What I admire most is how gracefully he aged into his role: the wit stayed sharp while the voice grew warmer and more lived-in. He's a songwriter's songwriter, the type younger artists quietly study. Understated, dependable, quietly brilliant. To me that's far more durable than fame.
