Lloyd Cole is enjoying a career renaissance. The release of his new rock album Standards has reignited the guitarist’s popularity, most notably in Europe where he’s been selling out theaters nearly every night of his current tour, setting Cole up for a triumphant return to the U.S. The songwriting on his new record is being hailed as a return to form, and after a decade-long hiatus from electric guitar, Cole puts the acoustic back on the stand and cranks up his amp, backed by a new band culled from his inner circle of musical pros.
