The Rose of England (album)

The Rose of England is an album by British singer-songwriter Nick Lowe, released in 1985. It is the second overall and last album by Lowe's band the Cowboy Outfit, credited as 'Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit'. It contains three cover versions; "7 Nights to Rock" (originally by Moon Mullican), "I Knew the Bride" (originally by Dave Edmunds, but written by Lowe himself) and "Bo Bo Skediddle" (originally by Wayne Walker).

Reception

Spin said the album "tries real hard to grab the ears of American music lovers. Another long-playing chapter in the miraculous and obscure career of Nick Lowe. Another step closer to rock stardom, or another brilliant and blind attempt in vain."
