Former Beautiful South and Housemartins frontman Paul Heaton releases his fifteenth studio album in September 2010, Acid Country will be preceded by the single The Ladders Bottom Rung and followed by a tour of the UK.
Paul Heaton will also be supporting Madness as their special guest on The Madness Tour which is scheduled for November and December this year.
Acid Country is the follow up to Heaton’s widely acclaimed 2008 album The Cross Eyed Rambler, and finds the songwriter in sparkling form yet again with classic melodies tinged with a country edge and maintaining the acerbic and intricate lyrics that have served so well over the decades.
Back in May this year Heaton previewed some of the tracks from Acid Country amongst a set that included classics from his previous incarnations on his Pedals and Beer Pumps Tour.
The tour took Heaton to sixteen pub venues starting at the Rovers Return on Coronation Street and a quick date at Emmerdale’s Woolpack Inn.
Heaton travelled to the venues by bicycle and covered over 1,000 miles in the process, playing some of the best shows of his life. the tour highlighted the plight of local pubs as well as promoting cycling as an environmentally viable method of touring!
Heaton is giving away the following track Even a Palm Tree at the Paul Heaton website.
