"Soon after I named the album, I was dissatisfied with its title. Kicking myself that I hadn’t kept with the album’s working title Beautiful Hearts (much more fitting for an album of other people’s songs). The remaster has allowed me to restore the record to its original working title." - Robert Forster
Originally entitled I Had A New York Girlfriend, Beautiful Hearts was Robert’s first and, to date, only album of other people’s songs. Originally released in 1994, the album saw Robert tackle a diverse array of favourite songs – among them Mickey Newbury’s Frisco Depot, Martha & The Muffins’ Echo Beach, Alone by Heart and Guy Clark’s Broken-Hearted People.
Although intensely beloved of his fans, the album has never seen a vinyl release until now. Having had three decades to reflect on the record, Robert took this chance to revisit the album’s title and artwork. I Had A New York Girlfriend had been an eleventh-hour decision, a line taken from the Modern Lovers song Old World. The working title had always been Beautiful Hearts, a phrase borrowed from another song, For Those by Tindersticks. With the old title gone, the artwork – a New York street scene – no longer made sense. “So, in its place,” explains Robert, “comes a contemporaneous photograph of me conducting a set of musicians crashing into the album’s opening cut Nature’s Way. Well… that’s the fantasy.”
Back in 1994, Beautiful Hearts had been a decision undertaken by Robert in part to buy him time. He had found himself in a song drought, but he had read enough about the travails of songwriters in trouble to know that, sometimes, an album of other people’s material can often move artists to a place where the songs start to come again.
And so, it came to be…
