Bellamy Brothers' Anthology, Volume 1 to Feature Duet With Legendary British Artist Sir Cliff Richard

European Release Set For Nov. 23

(Nashville, TN - Oct. 5, 2009)  The Bellamy Brothers will release The Anthology, Volume 1 on Nov. 23, a collection that features 13 No. 1 hits and several new songs, including a duet with legendary artist Sir Cliff Richard.

"We met Cliff when he was in Nashville for a songwriting seminar," says David Bellamy.  "We were already big fans of his because we'd heard so much of his music around the world through our years of touring.  The hits in the U.S. like 'Devil Woman' and 'Suddenly,' his duet with Olivia Newton John, have always been favorites of ours."

The single-disc set, produced by brothers Howard and David and released on Bellamy Brothers Records, is a career-spanning collection of songs from their prolific 35-year career, including hits such as "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."  The duet with Richard, "I Could Be Persuaded," is a new collaboration with the famed British singer-songwriter.

"Cliff Richard is an artist David and I really wanted to record with, and we're proud to have him on our Anthology album," says Howard Bellamy.  "From the days of Cliff Richard and the Shadows to the present, he's always had a fresh approach to making new music, while remaining true to his musical legend. He has the kind of career most artists can only dream of." 

Among the handful of new songs from Anthology, Vol. 1 is the Top 40 single, "Guilty of the Crime," recorded with fellow sibling act The Bacon Brothers.  Both sets of brothers performed together on the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage on September 1 in Nashville.

The Bellamy Brothers have enjoyed a career that has produced 14 No. 1 hits, international tours in 65 different countries, and commercial success on both the Country and Pop charts.  A second volume in the Anthology series and a biography are due for release next year.  Anthology, Volume 1 is currently available at iTunes, www.BellamyBrothers.com and most online digital retailers.  The physical album is scheduled for release in Europe on Nov. 23.

The Bellamy Brothers are currently on tour through the end of 2009.  Visit www.BellamyBrothers.com for more information.
