A press release on the project reads as follows:
Almost one year after his phenomenal comeback album In The Midst Of Beauty and follow-up tour, the first album from the Michael Schenker-Gary Barden Acoustic Project is here. Long-term collaborator, Gary Barden's vocals give the cleverly arranged songs just the touch of soul they need for full impact. He wrote the lyrics virtually off the top of his head. And with Michael Vetter, Schenker has an experienced producer, a second guitarist as well as a background vocalist on board, who delivers an outstanding performance as usual. Kai Luennemann on percussion completes the team. With such a distinctive, soft sound from Michael Schenker's guitar, this album distinguishes itself easily. In this way, using a flamenco guitar with castanets in 'Dance Lady Gipsy' conjures up a hot-blooded gipsy dancing before your eyes, while the fiddle and flutes in "Fight For Freedom" transport you to beautiful Ireland. All in all, the new album from Michael Schenker-Gary Barden Acoustic Project is more than an acoustic album, it demonstrates all Michael Schenker's expertise as a guitarist and songwriter. Just listen and enjoy.
