'Brilliant biography of an undersung late-blooming treasure . . .
subtly profound as well as wickedly entertaining, this biography
does its subject scintillating justice' Mojo Cruel to Be Kind is
the definitive account of Nick Lowe's uncompromising life as a
songwriter and entertainer, from his days at Stiff Records, to
becoming the driving force behind Rockpile, to the 1979 smash hit
'Cruel To Be Kind'. Nick's original compositions have been recorded
by the best in the business, from enfant terrible of the New-Wave,
Elvis Costello, to 'The Godfather of Rhythm and Soul', Solomon
Burke; from household names, including Engelbert Humperdink, Diana
Ross, and Johnny Cash, to legendary vocalists such as Curtis
Stigers, Tom Petty, and Rod Stewart. His reputation as one of the
most influential musicians to emerge from that most formative
period for pop and rock music is cast in stone. He will forever be
the man they call the 'Jesus of Cool'. 'Nick's poise as a singer,
his maturity, and his use of tone is beautiful. I can't believe
it's this guy I've been watching since I was a teenager' Elvis
Costello, 2013 'The master of subversive pop' Nick Kent, NME, 1977
'Nick Lowe is such a f*cking good songwriter! Am I allowed to say
that?' Curtis Stigers, 2016
