Information AboutCowboy (album) |
''Cowboy'' is an album recorded by Erasure in 1997 and released by Mute Records in the UK. In the U.S., it was released by Madonna 's former label Maverick Records . ''Cowboy'' was produced by Gareth Jones and Neil McLellan and marked the band's return to more simplistic three-minute Synthpop music. After disappointing sales and chart placing of their last studio album '' Erasure '', ''Cowboy'' returned the duo to the top ten of the UK album chart and it contained three singles (two of which hit the UK top thirty). In the U.S., ''Cowboy'' greatly improved Erasure's Billboard 200 peak over their previous album and first single " In My Arms " gave them another Hot 100 entry. Sales also improved in Germany , where ''Cowboy'' peaked at number thirty-four. The album contained eleven 's " Rapture " (with Clarke providing the rap) and a version of "Magic Moments", written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David . Erasure embarked on another major tour of the UK and U.S. to promote this album, in their trademark style it contained elaborate stage settings and costumes (including Clarke dressed as a guitar-playing cactus).
