On June 5, Yep Roc Records will release Lay It On Me, Nick Lowe’s third EP in two years with backing from Los Straitjackets. The limited-edition EP, recorded at Sawhorse Studios in St. Louis, MO, at the conclusion of Lowe’s Fall 2019 US tour, features three recently road-tested gems on its A-side: the Lowe originals “Lay It On Me Baby” and “Don’t Be Nice To Me,” plus a cover of the Dorsey Burnette-penned Brenda Lee hit “Here Comes That Feeling.” The flip finds Nick behind the boards, producing his first session for another artist in twenty-five years, on the Straitjackets’ stinging version of the Shocking Blue classic “Venus.”
