Conceived during a dinner conversation between longtime friends Ben Folds and English novelist Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy), Lonely Avenue is a true collaboration. Recorded old-school to 2" tape and marketed heavily to the vinyl crowd, the album features the music of Folds, the words of Hornby, and the string arrangements of Paul Buckmaster. |
