Bellamys release new single

Monday, January 11, 2010 – The Bellamy Brothers released Heart of My Heart to radio, the second single from their career-spanning greatest hits collection, "The Anthology, Volume 1."

Co-written with Jerry Lynn Williams before his death in 2005, the song follows the release of Anthology's first single and duet with The Bacon Brothers, Guilty of the Crime.

"Jerry Williams' been called the most famous unknown songwriter in music history," said David Bellamy. "Howard and I only wrote a few songs with Jerry because we met him just a couple of years before he died, but he was one of the best writers we've ever worked with. We are really proud to have written Heart of My Heart with him."

Williams' songwriting credits include Eric Clapton's Running on Faith and Pretending," Bonnie Raitt's Real Man and Delbert McClinton's Givin' It Up For Your Love.

"Anthology, Volume 1" features 13 number 1 hits from the Bellamys, including Let Your Love Flow, Old Hippie, If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me), Kids of the Baby Boom and For All the Wrong Reasons.

Brothers Howard and David are celebrating their 35th anniversary this year and plan to release "The Anthology, Volume 2 "in the fourth quarter of 2010. The duo is currently touring in the U.S., with their annual European tour taking place later this summer. A Bellamy Brothers biography is also in production and is scheduled for release in 2011.

This album is largely just a re-release of the Bellamy Brothers' 1996 album, "Tropical Christmas," which contained 11 of this album's 14 songs. Out of the three new songs, the title track is a trite, uninspiring song ("the reason for the season is love"). "God Bless America This Christmas" manages to rhyme "Afghanistan" with "foreign lands" and adds a dash of patriotism to your Christmas egg nog. The final addition to the old album is the "reggae holiday mix" of "Let Your Love Flow," although it's ...
The Bellamy's first release on Curb records since 1990, (and part of a settlement in the lawsuit the brothers filed against the label, draw your own conclusions) is a mixed bag. The disc offers something old, something new, something borrowed and will cause some blues in the hearts of those who expect more from the geniuses behind "Old Hippie" and "Lovers Live Longer." The new stuff ranges from the sublime ("What I Used to Do All Night" is a good-hearted diatribe against some of the more ...
