'''''Jesus of Cool''''' was the solo debut album by [[United Kingdom|British]] [[singer-songwriter]] [[Nick Lowe]] after leaving [[Brinsley Schwarz]] in 1974. Also produced by Lowe, it was released in March [[1978]] by [[Demon Records]]. In the United States, the album was released under the title '''''Pure Pop for Now People''''', with one [[Song|track]], "Shake and Pop", deleted and the songs in a different order than the UK version. The album has been highly acclaimed by critics and listeners alike. |
|||
Highest Chart Position: UK #22, US #127. |

'''''Jesus of Cool''''' has a number of tracks attacking the commercialism and greed of the [[record industry]] and the shallow content of [[pop music]] : "Music for Money", the fraternal twin songs "Shake and Pop" and "They Called it Rock", and "Rollers Show"; the last being a damning parody of the [[Bay City Rollers]]. |
