Song of the Day-Rocky Road

"Party of One" was one of the last albums by the "rockier" Nick Lowe before he began his transition to the more reflective, battle weary balladeer he has become since 1994"s "The Impossible Bird." I don't know if Nick can write a tune without a hook, but "Rocky Road" sets one deep. Every time I hear this tune I sing or hum it to myself all day.   A mid tempo rocker, showing off Nick at his most self assured. I hear the Wilco/Nick Lowe show at the Fillmore was great. Wished I could have gone but, you know, Christmas, kids, family, obligations!
