about

For the 7th track of my Shut In Singles series I present Nick Lowe's “12 Step Program (To Quit You Babe)”

I was asked to submit a track for the 2005 Nick Lowe tribute record titled Lowe Profile from Brewery Records and I chose this track from Lowe's landmark 1994 release The Impossible Bird which features my hero Bill Kirchen on the electric guitar. I recorded the song quickly at my studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn playing all the instruments except the drums which were done by my cohort Phil Cimino. I had fun with all the vocals and the drop tuned guitars. Phil had fun whacking the 'china cymbal' with the ‘tambo-stick’ more times than he ever had in a single song. The real highlight was getting to perform the song at a Lowe Tribute at the Birchmere in Virginia with Bill Kirchen playing and singing with me.
