Quality Street : a seasonal selection for all the family

"Easing into his second decade as a dapper crooner, it's little wonder that Nick Lowe has succumbed to the siren call that seduces every gentleman vocalist: he's gone and made a Christmas album. Quality Street: A Seasonal Selection for All the Family is cut from the same cloth as all of Lowe's recent albums, cannily mixing up country, rockabilly, torch songs, and '50s pop, a cozy blend that's well suited for evenings snuggled up by the fireplace".

"Quality Street is a much needed alternative to the banal, overplayed Xmas Muzak occupying Sears and Starbucks from Thanksgiving to New Year's. Still, even well-executed wintertime tunes can grow onerous, especially around the holidays. Hopefully, Lowe's will stay fresh - at least until January 2".
