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.
