"Rikki and Daz" have done a song also titled "Rhinestone Cowboy (Giddy Up, Giddy Up)"

actually featuring Glen Campbell, the one who had a huge hit with it earlier in both American pop and country charts as number 1.


This new version "Rhinestone Cowboy (Giddy Up, Giddy Up) actually made it to the top 20 in the UK.


However it is sampling of large parts of the song with rap added not found on the original version

Rikki and Daz are the biggest duo to hit the pop and dance scene since MC Miker "G" and Deejay Sven. On 18th November the Manchester based twosome release their storming debut, "Rhinestone Cowboy (Giddy Up Giddy Up)" on Serious Records.

Only this time Rikki and Daz have gone one step further than the DJ Otzi's of this world and enlisted the help of a true legend, Mr Glen Campbell, the original Rhinestone Cowboy himself, to make this genius track.


Rikki and Daz have always been big Glen fans and recorded a demo of the cowboy classic, which was picked up by Chris Moyles on Radio 1. By a sheer twist of fate the tune reached Glen's ears over the communication highway they call the world-wide-web and the rest is history.


Glen was so impressed with the tune his management got in touch with Rikki and Daz and just a week later, they were at Glen's palatial Phoenix ranch laying down a new vocal from the legend. The man himself also features in the gun- twirling and lasso-throwing video, shot in the depths of the Arizona desert, looking every inch a Rhinestone Cowboy (riding round on a horse at a star-spangled rodeo…)


Now, with the backing of Radio 1's Chris Moyles, The Box and even Popbitch (thanks to which it has been downloaded over 3000 times) it looks like Rikki and Daz, with a bit of Glen's magic, aren't far away from gracing the stages of Top Of The Pops and CD:UK. Glen has signed up for promotion on the track - the first time he's agreed to promote someone else's record since his days as a touring member of the Beach Boys.



"Rhinestone Cowboy" will be released on 18th November.
