The title isn't entirely in jest - Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit does represent Lowe's reinvention as a roots-rocker, as he delves into Tex-Mex, country-rock, garage rock and, of course, pop. After the muddled The Abominable Showman, Cowboy Outfit sounds positively vibrant, thanks in no small part to Lowe's backing band, comprised largely of veteran pub-rockers. Even with the uneven songs, the Cowboy Outfit make the material appealing, and Lowe certainly sounds more appealing - and comfortable - as a roots-rocker than as an aging new wave popster.

Nick Lowe & His Cowboy Outfit Tracklist. 1. Half a Boy and Half a Man Lyrics.
While Cowboy Outfit has a slightly different meaning as UK Slang, Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit marks a turn towards a more rootsy persona for our hero. Anchored by the international number one Half a Boy and Half a Man, the album introduces a tex-mex/roller-rink organ sound, although the lineup of Bobby Irwin, Paul Carrack, Martin Belmont and Lowe is essentially unchanged.
