THE ROSE OF ENGLAND

The Rose of England continues with a slightly more contemporary feel. John HiattAEs oShe DonAEt Love Nobodyo is a sturdy pop single, while oI Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock and Roll)oua song Lowe wrote in the ae70s and was popularized by fellow Rockpile member Dave Edmundsuis given a modern kick in the pants, produced by Huey Lewis and featuring HueyAEs band the News. Granted, from a production standpoint it basically sounds like a Huey Lewis and the News song, but the quality of the songwriting is miles past oThe Heart of Rock and Rollo. The Rose of England isnAEt necessarily a record companyAEs bid for Lowe to top the pop charts, though. oSeven Nights to Rocko is a lively, caffeinated rockabilly cover that feels like a timeless whirl through a more carefree time, and there isnAEt a synthesizer or over processed drum sound in sight.'
