Kevin Rowland chronology
The Wanderer (1988) My Beauty (1999)

My Beauty is Kevin Rowland's second album released in 1999, eleven years after his solo debut The Wanderer. My Beauty is a cover album. It is infamous for its cover, which shows Rowland in drag and heavy make up.

The album was supposed to have 12 tracks, but the song "Thunder Road" (written by Bruce Springsteen) was pulled from the album at the last minute due to Springsteen not approving to the lyrical re-writes done by Kevin Rowland. The promo-CD distributed (to radio/press) prior to the official album did have all 12 tracks.

Upon release the album was lambasted by critics, and only sold 500 copies making it one of the lowest selling albums in Creation records history.
