Editorial Reviews

For 1990's Party of One, the personnel was drawn from Nick's bandmates on 1987's John Hiatt masterpiece, Bring the Family (Lowe on bass, Jim Keltner on drums and Ry Cooder on guitar) combined with the twin heads of the band The Moonlighters (Austin DeLone - ex of Eggs Over Easy and Bill Kirchen - original Lost Planet Airman and twang kingpin). Nick brought in Dave Edmunds to produce and play even more guitar. They rip through a fantastic batch of original songs highlighted by "All Men Are Liars" and "What's Shakin' on the Hill" which are still staples of Nick's live show. This strong effort led into the Little Village project and can be considered the final chapter in the first half of Nick's career.

Whole Lotta Fun

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

Is this Nick Lowe's best work ever? No. Then again, that's akin to saying "you have a Renoir, but it's not considered to be his finest work..."

This CD is eminently listen-able, particularly on one of those roll-down-the-windows driving days.

Some of Nick's hooks are as good (i.e. "brilliant") as they have ever been, as in "You got the look I like." Plus, as has been said earlier, you have two guitar masters working on this album: Cooder and Edwards.

Nope, not his best work, and there are even a few times you'll hit the "skip" button after you've listened through it once or twice, but the fact that you keep playing those other 9 songs, or that you can't shake one from your head hours later, should tell you something.

A LOT OF FUN!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2006

Verified Purchase

I have a real soft spot for Nick Lowe's first two solo albums, Pure Pop For Now People (or Jesus of Cool in the U.K.) and Labour of Lust. A soft spot? They are two of my favorite albums EVER!! While I love Nick's more adult fare, like The Convincer, I've had a desire to hear something more of the Labour of Lust or even Nick the Knife rockabilly ilk lately, and Party of One is just the rockabilly recipe for what I needed! It's not too slick, nice and rugged, and it ROCKS and is a lot of fun and varied enough to stay exciting the whole listen! Oh, and Dave Edmunds produced it!

So happy that I opened my eyes

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've only recently discovered this gem of an album. So I had to buy the re-issued/remastered LP by Yep Roc. I was unfortunately distracted by other music when this album originally came out, so It was never on my radar. So happy that I opened my eyes. An excellent package all around With bonus 4 track record. Highly recommended if you are discovering Nick Lowe.

Not the original

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

I thought I was buying the original 1990 release to replace my damaged CD I bought as a new release way back when. I received a YepRoc 2017 " remastered" version that sounds like a MP3. I was heartbroken. It's dull and lifeless with no grit or air compared to the 1990 release. I am going to try and return it. It's a buzz kill. If you are a fan seek out the original Reprise release. This one sucks.

One of the Better Later Releases

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2009

This release finds Nick Lowe at his witty best, backed by a great group of players including Jim Keltner on drums, Dave Edmunds on guitar, and Gerant Watkins on keys. Nick reclaims his songwriting wit, particularly on the tune "All Men Are Liars". The story goes that Nick heard that phrase yelled at a bar by a scorned young lady and wrote the tune around it. "You Got the Look I Like" is Nick's traditional pub pop, with a catchy chorus that is repeated over and over. Rather than being repetitive and annoying, Nick makes that style of composition work for him. "Who Was That Man" is a humerous pop tune in the classic Nick tongue in cheek style. "What's Shakin On the Hill" is a sweet melody with soft singing. "Shting - Shtang" is the background line that repeats over a classic rock 1, 4, 5 change. "Rocky Road" is well a well written tale of the path of love, with strong vocals in the chorus. "Refrigerator White" is not one my favorites on this release, nor is "Honey Gun". "You Stabbed Me In the Front" is a great title for a good song. This is one of the better later releases by Nick. Enjoy it.

Nearing the end of an era...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

'Party Of One' is a better than solid Nick Lowe album, with its fair share of memorable tunes, knockabout humour and a soupcon of tear in the beer, but to me, there's more than a sense of 'enough already' within Nick's thing here. Utilising the John Hiatt 'Bring The Family' band, Nick delivers some serviceable souped up Pub Rock in the shape of 'Shting Shtang', 'Gai Gin Man' and 'Rocky Road', and then there's the lovelorn 'What's Shaking On The Hill', one of his finest ballads, and still a regular in his live set. 'All Men Are Liars' is a rib-tickler in tried and true Nick Lowe fashion, but overall there is a feel of water-treading going on here. I think Nick thought he could better, which he would when he reinvented himself in 1994 with the more artistically accomplished 'The Impossible Bird'. 'Party of One' is no turkey, but he has made much better records.

Contains the very catchy "All men are liars" and the slower "What's shakin' on the hill". Good little album.
