NEW ALBUM: ‘GOLDDIGGAS, HEADNODDERS
& PHOLK SONGS’ 18th October 2004 The Beautiful South release
their ninth album Golddiggas, Headnodders & Pholk Songs on
their new label Sony Music UK on 18th October 2004.
Golddiggas, Headnodders & Pholk Songs
is a collection of versions of songs dear
to the hearts of The Beautiful South. Rendered in their own
uniquely familiar style,
these nuggets include the familiar and the not-so, making for
a particularly random, definitely idiosyncratic, but ultimately
genius Saturday night party
selection. ‘You’re The One That I Want’, made famous by
Olivia Newton John and John Travolta
from the Grease Soundtrack rubs hips with
ELO’s obscenely symphonic ‘Livin’ Thing’, ‘Til I Can’t
Take It Anymore’ (a soul
classic made famous by Ben E King and Ray Charles) plays tit
cricket with S Club 7’s
stoner rock classic ‘Don’t Stop Moving’, and ‘This Old
Skin’, a lost cut from legendary
act The Heppelbaums, finds itself helplessly
lodged by the fridge with Blue Oyster Cult’s ‘Don’t Fear The
Reaper’. Ouch.
Other artists represented include Lush,
Rufus Wainwright and Willie Nelson.
Golddiggas, Headnodders & Pholk Songs
is The Beautiful South’s eleventh album
and will be preceded by a single (details to follow) on October
4th. Paul Heaton had this to
say about it: “It provided us with the perfect opportunity
to ruin songs we liked and turn songs we didn’t like into
masterpieces.”
Golddiggas, Headnodders & Pholk Songs
was recorded at
Olympic Studios in London and was produced by Paul Heaton and Jon
Kelly.
