By 2001, Nick Lowe had long shed the "Basher" persona and settled into a second act that many of his peers never found. Recorded with his road band and steeped in the small-hours country-soul he'd been refining since the mid-90s, The Convincer deepened the quiet confidence he'd established on albums like Dig My Mood, proving that sometimes the most affecting rock and roll barely raises its voice. Nick continued his hot streak of warm, introspective recordings with this 2001 release, which beautifully balances wry wit and stark emotional honesty. He taps soul, blues, R&B and country as he charms with Has She Got a Friend? Homewrecker; I'm a Mess; Bygones (Won't Go); Cupid Must Be Angry ; Johnny Rivers' Poor Side of Town, and more on CD or vinyl! Tracklist 1. Homewrecker (3:08) 2.
