The new Ben Folds/Nick Hornby project Lonely Avenue (Nonesuch Records), is a collaboration between two eminent artists-American singer-songwriter Ben Folds and English novelist Nick Hornby. The album features music and vocals by Folds and lyrics by Hornby, with string arrangements by one of the most influential pop string arrangers of all time, Paul Buckmaster (David Bowie, Elton John, Leonard Cohen). The idea to create an album of Folds' unique pop songwriting sensibilities with Hornby's insightful prose was conceived during a dinner conversation between the two friends one night in 2009. After that, Hornby began regularly emailing lyrics to Folds, who then turned them into Lonely Avenue's 12 musical short stories. Nick Hornby - the highly acclaimed writer - is best known for the novels High Fidelity, About a Boy, and for the football memoir Fever Pitch. Ben Folds found success as the leader of the critically acclaimed alternative group 'Ben Folds Five'. He has gone on to have a very successful solo career, recording three studio albums in addition to a pair of records documenting his renowned live performances and a remix record. The result is an 11-song set that's as playful as it is soul-stirring, and more than just a little bit magical.
