The Convincer (20th Anniversary Edition - Blue Vinyl & Bonus 7")

Originally released on September 11, 2001, The Convincer earned immediate praise, with Mojo Magazine stating "Nick Lowe has made the album of his career." In the intervening two decades, its stature has only grown among fans, critics and other songwriters. In his 2019 biography Cruel To Be Kind: The Life and Music of Nick Lowe, author Will Birch wrote that The Convincer is "the album that many still consider to be his best." Nick's labelmate Robyn Hitchcock has said The Convincer is "my favorite Yep Roc record," adding "I love all his records, but this one stands out." Johnny Marr, another avowed fan, enthuses "He sounds like Memphis via Chiswick...The Convincer is soul."
