Nick Lowe, 'At My Age' (Yep Roc)

Jesus of cool bares soulful roots, still has his mojo.

Nick Lowe produced Elvis Costello's first five albums and the Damned's debut, and as a solo artist, he's never released a dud. But he still acts like he has something to prove: At My Age, Lowe's first studio outing since 2001, is a soul-drenched, horn-inflected labor of lust. The countrified "I Trained Her to Love Me," which casts Lowe as a lethal lothario, is the album's best moment, but Age is full of keepers, including "Feel Again," a dirty-minded honky-tonk shuffle, and "Hope for Us All," a simmering mix of soap-opera organ and altar-call seduction.
