It’s a surprising but convincing transformation, begun with the country-infected minimalism of 1994’s superb \u003ci\u003eThe Impossible Bird\u003c\/i\u003e and pared to an even leaner chamber pop on this subdued charmer. Bird found Lowe damping his jokester’s instincts to dig deeply and soberly into romantic despair and a gnawing, midlife confrontation of self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the tracks on Dig My Mood suggest that some of the wounds have healed, there’s still an elegiac air to songs like “Faithless Lover,” “What Lack of Love Has Done,” and “Failed Christian” that qualifies these as songs of experience. Lowe’s baritone has deepened and acquired a deft finesse with redeeming glimmers of wit and no loss of intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 reissue of Dig My Mood is remastered from the original tapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yep Roc","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50475083989323,"sku":"329605","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50475083333963,"sku":"1134126","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/549b1fb0-7d2a-46b8-9a2c-31a76fcccbfd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727442384"},{"product_id":"dig-my-mood-2","title":"Dig My Mood - 25th Anniversary","description":"\u003cp\u003eNick Lowe's 1998 album \u003ci\u003eDig My Mood\u003c\/i\u003e marked the second masterpiece of his \"worldly balladeer\" and \"elder statesman of rock and roll\" chapter of his career, leaving the ironic power popper persona of his Jesus of Cool days far behind. Following 1994's critically-acclaimed The Impossible Bird, Lowe found himself writing about love and hardship through a sophisticated lens, including celebrated staples of the Nick Lowe canon such as \"You Inspire Me\" and \"Man That I've Become,\" both fixtures of Nick's set-lists a quarter-century later. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing Lowe's razor-sharp songwriting and a selection of tasteful covers that Nick breathes new life into (Henry McCullough's \"Failed Christian\" and Ivory Joe Hunter's \"Cold Grey Light of Dawn''), \u003ci\u003eDig My Mood\u003c\/i\u003e is another masterclass example of Lowe's strength as a composer and performer.
