Lloyd Cole opened his U.S. tour in Seattle earlier this month, and, while he was there, the singer-songwriter stopped by radio station KEXP to play a five-song, 20-minute solo-acoustic set that saw him perform a pair of songs off last year’s Standards and three tracks from Rattlesnakes, his classic debut album with The Commotions.
And while his current tour is complete, Cole is going back out in March, with seven U.S. dates so far announced, beginning March 17 in Buffalo, N.Y., and running through March 29 in Nashville, Tenn.
