Nick Lowe Performs 'Trombone' and 'Lay It On Me' | In My Room

[@stevemurray2737]

Nick should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of our best..

[@erlineandrews]

He isn't?!

[@stevemurray2737]

@@erlineandrews Nope.. Travesty. Such an Influential Icon. Great Concerts too!

[@user-kc3oc9yy5j]

There are too many categories to put him up for! Clapton is the only other individual who comes to mind who has contributed to the pantheon as much as Nick Lowe

[@stevemurray2737]

@@user-kc3oc9yy5j I'd put Leon Russell in that Category too.

Kid keeps time like a metronome, but he's loose, too. Well done, Roy.

How old is the kid?

[@joelbates6499]

Yes, Roy quietly steals the show - well done, Dad and Son!

[@GenkiSugiru]

"Peace, Love, and Understanding" is one of the finest songs written during my long lifetime. Nick Lowe is a very talented songwriter.

[@jennycraigadventures3314]

GenkiSugiru Apparently, Nick’s dog isn’t a big fan of it.

[@RubyTwilite]

And very relevant in the US right now.

[@SuperBC1975]

So cool that Nick Lowe is jamming with his son Roy on the drums. It does not get much more intimate than a musician performing in their living room.

[@marks.6480]

Have you seen the Tears For Fears guy perfoming Mad World with his daughter? Heartily recommended.

[@johnjharrison]

Mark S. Curt Smith and his daughter, fabulous!

[@neilwilson5785]

He knows drums.

[@andybowen1249]

Yep really impressive on those brushes. I think everyone digs him as much as the Basher.

[@bathroomjon1]

John Fogerty of CCR is doing a series of songs from home with his kids as well - he is 74!!

[@mattsambrano3786]

A true musical treasure...I've seen him several times over the decades and he is a charming, funny, heartfelt performer...So happy Los Straightjacket play with him now...They've totally reenergized him and his music

[@chriscaskenette]

Nick Lowe is a legend, everything from Rockpile to his solo stuff !!

[@TheFitzhugh1]

Nick you must be proud that your son has a natural feel for rhythm.. and playing it so well.

[@Freakaboogie]

yeah, that's cool!

[@sl8ofhand]

i think any human exposed to Nick like Roy must be would get a lot of nurturing of that 'natural feel' T.O.

[@curtisunit]

Roy is my favourite kind of drummer. He’s a song man. Doesn’t matter how old he is he just is. He gets it.

[@ddellwo]

What a welcome treat - thanks so much to Nick, Roy, and all of the other artists online these past few weeks who have welcomed us into their homes and helped brighten our day a bit in these uncertain times!

[@lesizmor9079]

Your boy Roy has a solid internal feel for tempo, and as you know, that's the big foundation needed at his age to continue to success as a drummer/percussionist. You go Roy!

[@paulklee]

great solid drumming Great video!

[@andybowen1249]

He really has. I did see a comment by Nick about his son showing worrying signs of being a musician lol.

[@swordfish52]

I concur Les ...

[@michaelodowd4807]

Yea great snare drumming defo got talent for it

[@davidjohnston1971]

I was just thinking the same thing, he's a metronome.

[@MisterRich420]

Dear Nick: Your son Roy is a really fine little drummer!!! Good SOLID beats, really nice fills and ready willing and able to back up the best in the biz...at 14! Really really really good set, man. Please do more!!!!!! Peace and love! (and understanding!)

[@altonbeckert506]

I wish for one last collaboration with Dave Edmunds. Even a Rockpile reunion. Hey, can't a boy dream?

[@stevemurray2737]

I saw Dave Edmunds in Concert a while back and he said Nick doesn't like him anymore? Who knows what happened?

[@MisterRich420]

@@stevemurray2737 Yeah. It's too bad. I think Dave got too "old" for Nick or something. Dave kinda retired. His last CDs were slow instrumental works...nothing like "Crawling from the Wreckage!"

[@malcolmlewis5860]

AltonBeckert I heard a Nic Lowe quote the other day. “if he writes a song, he works on it until he sounds like some Elise wrote it and if he covers a song he works on it until it sounds like he wrote it.”

[@andybowen1249]

Lol and isn’t that just what he does. His new song Lay it on me, when I first heard it, I just presumed he was doing a cover of some old classic lol? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done that.

Thank you, Nick Lowe, for putting a smile on my face right now.

[@MultiPetercool]

Nothing makes my heart feel warmer than seeing father and son together making beautiful music

[@daytripper9222]

So good to see you Nick. Also your son as well drumming away. Roy was right on the money Nick, didn't miss a beat with the brushes. Thanks for doing this and hope to see you two again soon. Stay well and safe the two of you.

[@gollymrme]

One of the best! Nick is such a awesome tune smith and artist. I have been a huge fan for 40 years of my life. It truly is hard to beat Mr. Lowe. He's voice still sounds the way it did in 1979...perfect!

[@toothbrush5190]

gollymrme omg I couldn't disagree more. From another 40 year plus year fan.

[@andybowen1249]

All the cool people dig Nick Lowe. Those I deem worthy I’ll put em onto The impossible Bird album and invariably, they end up needing more.

[@matthewbrown7572]

Nick, AMAZING ! You are a consummate songwriter. Every song was wonderful. Besides your classic Peace love and understanding, That last song, About Reading More these Days, was beautiful, and your guitar playing was so spot on lovely and masterful in its nuance. THANK YOU!

[@papamayhave]

Thank you so much for this. I was surprised by how touching it was. The beautiful stripped down songs, son on snare drum, living room setting, your dog...it was all enchanting, and needed.

[@catherinefitzpatrick9144]

My son plays the trombone, so how happy you made me to hear your first song: Trombone; which was a joy to listen to! NL, I’ve loved your music all my life! Thank you for sharing your enormous talent with us! And, Nick, you’ll always be young to me! Great job, Roy!

[@jimkough2945]

Nick, you are my hero. I have followed you since listening to you on the original WHFS in Bethesda, MD back in the late 70s. So many awesome songs. So much great music. Thank you

[@mullenjames6279]

These two are great together. Love the simplicity, beautiful symmetry.

He's got good rhythm. In time.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Yes indeed. That young fellow up was very impressive! Just like his old man!

[@LazyIRanch]

Damn I feel old! I remember when Roy was born, seems like it was just a few years ago! I only got to see Nick once, but what an experience that was! It was the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara in the Summer of 2001. Beautiful old theatre, small audience, just Nick and his guitar, sitting on a barstool. His son Roy wasn't even a gleam in his eye yet!

[@SwanSycorax]

Love it. I was at Woodbridge School with Nick back in the '60s. At the time Nick played bass in the School Group along with Brinsley Schwarz and Barry Landemann (went on to play on the No 1 hit "Hitchin' a Ride by Vanity Fair"). They were the inspiration for me taking up the guitar in December '63 - a hobby which has stayed with me to the present day. Thanks Nick. Still looking and sounding great.

[@andybowen1249]

Wow what a cool story. I know he even served his time in Hamburg like the Beatles did? Ry Cooder said he really rates Nick Lowe as a Bass player. I know he downplays it, but he’s an exceptional guitar player.

[@jefp65]

Thanks Nick & Roy 😀. Nick Lowe truly one of the great songwriters and an unsung Rock'n'Roll legend!

[@dennisvernier437]

Really enjoy this performance and the young drummer on the snare and brushes. He's right on with the accents, everything. I've worked gigs with older working drummers that don't have the feel he has with just his snare.

[@elkabong6429]

That was wunnerful! Thanks Nick! Thanks, also to your son for keeping time on the first three songs and thanks to Rolling Stone for the series!

[@GreenManalishiUSA]

Nick Lowe is one of the classiest rock stars around (or as he modestly describes himself, someone who "had a brief career as a pop star.") Instead of trying to maintain a youthful appearance, he has aged gracefully, and instead of continuing to play at ear-splitting volume and breakneck speed (as in, forever "Heart of the City"), he now turns out songs that are quiet, understated melodic and lyrical treasures. A true master.

[@mchaggis622]
