Whether it’s a tongue-in-cheek rocker such as “12-Step Program (To Quit You Babe)” or one of the many ballads, Lowe hits the mark. The 2021 reissue of The Impossible Bird is newly remastered from the original tapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Soulful Wind \/ The Beast in Me \/ True Love Travels on a Gravel Road \/\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTrail of Tears \/ Shelley My Love \/ Where’s My Everything? \/ 12-Step Program (To Quit You Babe) \/ Lover Don’t Go \/ Drive-Thru Man \/ Withered on the Vine \/ I Live on a Battlefield \/ 14 Days \/ I’ll Be There\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YEP ROC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40977567187100,"sku":"CDYEP2634","price":12.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/NickLowe-TheImpossibleBird_717497c6-fd21-4a4c-a9de-f476ba75de0c.jpg?v=1632636453","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/nick-lowe-the-impossible-bird-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
