Nick Lowe - Quality Street: A Seasonal Selection For The Whole Family

A twinkling blend of traditional hymns, forgotten gems and Lowe originals

Nick Lowe's new holiday record, Quality Street: A Seasonal Selection For All The Family, from beginning to end is the kind of record that gives vulgar, tawdry commercialism a good name. 

From the opening rockabilly-charged "Children Go Where I Send Thee" and the comfy hush of "Christmas Can't Be Far Away," the record includes the beatnik bop of "Hooves on the Roof" (written especially for the project by Ron Sexsmith), Roger Miller's wistful classic "Old Toy Trains," before wrapping up with a ska-flavored take on "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day."
