Release Date: Thursday 24 July 2008
The former Beautiful South and Housemartins frontman finds a refreshing direction, allowing his witty and well-observed lyrics take centre stage, backed by the stripped back sound of a four-piece.
'The Cross Eyed Rambler' is Paul Heaton's 14th studio album, while being his debut solo effort. The former Beautiful South and Housemartins frontman finds a refreshing direction, allowing his witty and well-observed lyrics take centre stage, backed by the stripped back sound of a four-piece.
Often a throw-back to The Housemartins, with the unmistakeable lyrical charm of The Beautiful South, 'The Cross Eyed Rambler' is a great listen.
