I read an article where Nick Drake was described as having "a voice like crushed velvet." It's a quiet voice, but very warm and assured. By way of contrast, in the one late-period Drake song I've heard, "Black-Eyed Dog," his voice sounds high, strained, and tremulous, as if he can hardly get the notes out.

But anyway, the S.O. and I went to Chicago to see Nick Lowe play at the Park West the other night. Many of you probably know that Nick is no longer what you'd call a pop/rock act - he's basically decided that he's too old for that stuff and can afford to do what he wants, which apparently is a sort of cross between loungey (though tasteful) crooner ballads and Memphis-style R&B. The opening act (as has been mentioned) was Memphis R&B/blues legend Dan Penn, accompanied by fellow legend Spooner Hawkins (was that his last name? Sorry, I have trouble getting past "Spooner"), who played several classic Memphis R&B standards that I'd never heard before. Anyway, they did a fine job of it regardless, getting quite a few self-conscious laughs from the (largely over-35) audience almost every time they adjusted their bifocals. Anyway, Nick came out by himself at first, wearing a nice suit (with no tie) and carrying just that nylon-stringed thin-body acoustic of his, opening with Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart" followed by such tunes as "Without Love," "Soulful Wind," and "Cruel to be Kind." After that the band arrived, consisting of long-time Nick sidemen Geraint "Bold as Love" Watkins on keyboards and Bobby "Sure I'm an ex-Sincero, so what" Irwin on drums, as well as new guitarist Steve Donnalley (all of whom are on the new CD "Dig My Mood"). Nick was the only one actually standing up throughout the show, and despite his advancing age his voice sounded as great as ever and he didn't nod off even once. Indeed it was Donnalley who, despite being the youngest person on stage by a good 60-70 years, was the least animated and, probably, the least impressive player... Anyway, after doing a few more tunes like the new "Faithless Lover" and "Man That I've Become," Nick actually switched to the *bass guitar* for several numbers, prompting gasps from the assembled throng, whose enthusiasm could only have been tempered by their having seen the frets. They did "You Inspire Me" (the most loungey tune of all, from the new CD) as well as "I Live on a Battlefield" and "Crackin' Up" before Nick decided he'd had enough of the whole bass thing and went back to the acoustic... (Personally I thought the lack of a bass guitar throughout most of the show was a bit of a drawback - the soundman seems to have taken it upon himself to compensate by turning the kick drum way up and over-EQ'ing the bass on everything else. With a lesser sound system the whole thing would have sounded pretty sludgey.) Lessee, after that it was "Rocky Road", "You're My Wildest Dream" and the inimitable "Shting Shtang"... maybe another one, I don't remember now - and then they left, coming back for three encores including the almost-too-pretty "Shelley My Love" and a subdued-though-interesting version of "What's So Funny About...", as well as "I Knew the Bride", and finally the obligatory "let's get Dan and Spooner back up here" number (the title of which I don't remember either). After that the lights came up and just about everybody left, but those of us who managed to hide in back for half-an-hour were treated to a fascinating pre-breakdown late-night jam session in which the band did a dead-accurate rendition of the entire "Brain Salad Surgery" LP from beginning to end, though of course the gongs were missing. (Kinda spoiled it for me, but hey, what're ya gonna do.) On the way home we made sure to play the new Nick Lowe cassette in the road a couple of times, just so I'd have some Robyn content to add to this post at the end.

It's a quiet voice, but very warm and assured. That's a good way of describing it. This is one of many reasons I wouldn't lump him in with the "wispy-voiced" crowd. It just ain't so, Joe. What I meant (and what I believe Eb meant as well, he can of course correct me if I'm wrong) by "wispy-voiced" folkie is people who sing in a thin, wispy, "precious" manner, which I really can't abide. >>To a club, nay rat-whole, on New Yorks Bowery where back alittle >>past 1976, I was passed out under a crab-infested toilet, but remember being >>aroused(in o so many ways) from my drug(in o so many ways) induced >>slumber to see the sillowetted form of Patti slugging out Lugh, > >Good lord!

The recording says they are sold out for dinner both nights, and they will let a limited number in for the show. My wife and I want to go, but we don't want to drive all the way from San Diego to get shut out. Any suggestions? I can't seem to get through to anyone at the club to see if they are selling advance tix anywhere. Martin ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V7 #228 *******************************
