Beat Club (album)

Beat Club is the ninth studio album by Australian rock band The Black Sorrows.

Australian music journalist Ian McFarlane described it as containing "R&B-tinged jazz and blues tunes" [1] At the ARIA Music Awards of 1999, Beat Club was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album, losing to Messenger by Jimmy Little.

They were joined on the album by numerous special guests: Renee Geyer, Sam Keevers, James Sherlock, Rick Formosa, Phil Burston, Stuart Fraser, Ian Chaplin, Ed Bates, Peter Luscombe, Kerryn Tolhurst, Robert Burke, Strings of the Victorian Philharmonic Orchestra, Anthony 'Tok' Norris, Paul Williamson, Nick Smith, Wayne Burt and Michael Barker.

Rip It Up in Adelaide said: "Beat Club is one of the great Black Sorrows records and also one of the best Australian releases this year".

Who would have thought that at this stage of The Black Sorrows' career Joe would have come up with an album to just about rival the definitive Hold On To Me.
