Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • Personnel: Nick Lowe (vocals, bass); Ry Cooder (electric guitar, mandolin); Dave Edmunds, Bill Kirchen (electric guitar); Austin Delone (piano, acoustic guitar); Paul Carrack (organ, piano); Ray Brown (acoustic bass); Jim Keltner (drums).
  • Recorded at Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles, California and Record One Studios, Sherman Oaks, California.
  • Dave Edmunds produced this 1990 album, the first time the two had worked together since a rift broke up Rockpile a decade prior. There's an undeniable punchiness and Edmunds also contributes guitar, but the most recognizable guitar sound is that of Ry Cooder (with whom Lowe played in Little Village, along with drummer Jim Keltner, also present). Sadly overlooked upon its initial release, the word "party" in the title is apt, as the whole thing plays like a flat-out house party. "Shting-Shtang" and "Honey Gun" are simple fun, while Lowe's wit is found to be in fine form on "All Men Are Liars," and his penchant for country-tinged balladry given a turn on "What's Shakin' On The Hill"
