The new Nick Lowe book is great! I’m at the point when they did the Rockpile album and it seems they didn’t like so much. I agree it’s fantastic, never stopped listening to it since it came out.

She's About A Mover originally called She's A Body Mover (an actual gal) according to Augie Myers but title "too racy" for label. My, times have changed.
Avatar 11:57am
Sid:

Makes you wonder if it wasn't somewhat deliberate - like America's "Horse With No Name" sounding like Neil Young. Later America stuff didn't. We didn't have another hit from Andy Kim to compare.

Tim G - that explains alot. "She's About A Mover" never made sense to me as a title.
