'Tis The Season For Nick Lowe's Quality Holiday Revue
Lowe Confirms First-Ever Tour Supporting 'Quality Street' - "The Freshest Holiday Collection Of The Year" (LA Times) - With Ian McLagan Supporting On Most Dates
'Tis the month before Christmas, and all through the land
Nick Lowe will be tourin' with a rock-and-roll band
He'll play some old chestnuts and roast a few too
A Small Face will join him for this Quality Revue
Before the tour launches on December 3, Lowe will perform on A Prairie Home Companion from NYC's Town Hall on November 29.
Released in 2013, 'Quality Street' was the most acclaimed holiday album of the year. Dubbed a "sleighbell-free zone" by Lowe, the album was hailed as "characteristically great" (New York Magazine) and "unimpeachably tasteful" (Washington Post). It features twelve new recordings, including three Lowe originals (one co-written with Ry Cooder), a song by Ron Sexsmith written expressly for the collection, covers of holiday favorites by Roger Miller and Wizzard, rarities and more - all performed in Nick's singular style. Reviewing the album for the New York Times, Ben Ratliff wrote simply "He spoils you, this guy."
Ian McLagan released 'United States,' his debut for Yep Roc, earlier this year. USA Today called it "soulful and unbridled."
