New Unplugged Album out today and thanks to each and everyone of the 140 people who have shared this video so far - fantastic :) - some blurb This album is very different to my usual electric offerings as I just wanted to see what the songs were like when they were completely stripped back to just one guitar and one voice - it was completely unplanned and there was no set list. I was in Capitol Records in Hollywood to record tracks for my new electric album which will be released later in the year and the engineer set up my acoustic and a microphone and as I liked the sound through the headphones I just said Can I make an acoustic album while Im in position - Joe the engineer just smiled and said why not?, so thats what happened and less than 3 hours later the Face To Face album was in the can - we could have easily gone back and added lots of other instruments but that would have defeated the purpose so the only rules were no overdubs just one guitar, like I say there was no set list so I just played songs that happened to pop into my head at the time and Joe let me know when we had ten.tracks. To sum up, although this was recorded in a studio it is in every way a Live album so if anyone comes to my solo shows this is a good representation of what it sounds like. Capitol is a great place to record in and I managed to get started on my new electric album later that afternoon but with the bonus of an unexpected extra album already recorded, so all in all I think it was possibly one of the most productive days Ive had in any studio - If Carlsberg made studios ... thank you Capitol
