Song of the Day: 'Heart of the City' by Nick Lowe

 

With thanks to Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Kathy Valentine, who reminded me to play Nick Lowe's classic debut solo album! 

Although "Jesus of Cool" is a great title -- and I generally loathe when record labels force artists to change albums for different markets -- I did prefer the U.S. title: Pure Pop for Now People, which was a phrase that could be seen on the original if you looked closely at the little letters in the corners of the various photos!
