Amazon.co.uk Review
When he laid down 1994's The Impossible Bird--the ninth solo album in a career that already, via Rockpile, Brinsley Schwarz, Kippington Lodge, and production work for Elvis Costello, the Damned, and the Pretenders, stretched back over 25 years--Nick Lowe probably wasn't setting out to create a four-part trilogy à la Douglas Adams. But with At My Age (which is 58, incidentally, as of the album's June 2007 release), Lowe has created a fine companion to Bird, 1998's Dig My Mood, and 2001's The Convincer. Six years was a bit too long of a wait, 2004's live Untouched Takeaway notwithstanding. And given all that time, Lowe breaks no new ground: At My Age is essentially more of the same combination of blue-eyed soul and pre-Sweetheart country-rock that characterized those previous releases. But when the results are so deliciously horn-drenched and include songs like "Long Limbed Girl," "People Change," "The Club," "Not Too Long Ago," and the delightfully malicious "I Trained Her to Love Me" ("If you think that it's depraved and I should be ashamed, so what? / I'm only paying back womankind for all the grief I got"), who's complaining? Good things have indeed come to those who waited. --Benjamin Lukoff

Customer Reviews

Lowe and Behold
Funny things Nick Lowe albums. They take ages to arrive and when they do, you feel slightly disappointed. You play it for the first couple of times and you decide it isn't as good as his last one. Then without realising it you know all of the tunes - and the lyrics - and the stories, and suddenly it is five stars - the best album of the year - pure genius and even better than his last one.
As good as anything he has ever done, just gets better with every listen.

Basher does it again
It's been a six year wait since Nick Lowe's last offering - The Convincer - and with this album, he has produced yet another gem. The same musicians are present as before - Keyboard player Geraint Watkins, Robert Treherne on Drums and Steve Donnelly playing a wonderfully understated and subtle Guitar - and this time they are augmented by former Van Morrison sidemen; Saxophonist Martin Winning and Matt Holland on Trumpet. Anyone familiar with Nick's material will know to expect well written pop songs mixed with a dash of country and soul and, once again, he does not disappoint. There are 9 original Lowe songs here plus 3 covers, all of them are wonderful. Buy it!

oh how we forgot great artists
Nick lowe another artist whom I had almost forgotten, then I noticed he was on a BBC 4 in concert. I listerned and watched........fanatastic, a great band and the addition of a horn section for some songs.......sublime! Naturally I went online and ordered the album straight away and I have not stopped playing it since. An singer/songwriter at the the peak of his powers, subtle, poignant lyrics, married to lovely melodies and arrangements. Age has has not withered him but like a fine wine his talent has matured to lend a fuller flavour, I can give no higher praise!
