Paul Heaton

Paul Heaton, the lyrical genius behind The Beautiful South and The Housemartins is about to release his new album The Cross Eyed Rambler. It will be the 14th album of his career and his first release as a solo artist.

For the first time since 1986 and the birth of The Housemartins, Heaton has stripped his sound back to a basic four piece band. Combined with a bagful of brand new songs, and a 'freshness' normally associated with an artist's salad days, The Cross Eyed Rambler is an album full both of the familiar and the genuinely surprising.
