Release Notes:
A LOOSE acoustic session dashed off on the Isle of Skye isn't necessarily how
you would expect Tunstall to follow up the two million-selling Eye To The
Telescope.
But it is quite heartening that she is hurtling back to her roots so quickly, if
only in a stop-gap album available through her website, www.kttunstall.com, and
by download.
As unplugged albums go, it's a gem, roping together a couple of Eye To The
Telescope tunes (not the ubiquitous Suddenly I See, thankfully), some new
material, B-sides and a cover of Beck's Golden Age.
These are honest, unvarnished settings weaving folky and country-ish elements of
acoustic guitar, double bass, dobro and the odd bit of jazzy trumpet, above
which Tunstall's voice has a directness and clarity you've got to admire.
