The personnel on Party Of One were drawn from Nick’s bandmates on John Hiatt's masterpiece, Bring The Family (Lowe on bass, Jim Keltner on drums and Ry Cooder on guitar) combined with the twin heads of the band the Moonlighters (Austin DeLone, ex of Eggs Over Easy, and Bill Kirchen of Original Lost Planet Airman and twang kingpin). Dave Edmunds produced and played even more guitar. The original batch of songs is highlighted by “All Men Are Liars” and “What’s Shakin’ On The Hill.” This strong effort can be considered the final chapter in the first half of Nick’s career.
