Nick Lowe strikes again with a brand new EP, Lay It On Me, where he is once again joined by his gang of masked musicians, Los Straitjackets. The limited edition EP features two new originals from Nick, “Lay It On Me Baby” and “Don’t Be Nice to Me,” plus a cover of Dorsey Burnette’s “Here Comes That Feeling” (made famous by Brenda Lee). Nick’s wordplay and razor-sharp lyrics shine bright with the twang-friendly tones of Los Straitjackets behind him. On Side B of the EP is the first track that Nick has produced in over two decades that wasn’t one of his own performances: Los Straitjackets turning Shocking Blue/Bananarama’s “Venus” into a surf rock staple.
