Naked Songs - Swinnen, Buls & Piedfort

Good songs remain standing when they are reduced to their naked essence. But a little more dressing makes them sexy. The naked truth comes from Guy Swinnen himself — with more than forty years of songwriting under his belt, both solo and with the legendary The Scabs. With his inseparable acoustic guitar and his unique, recognizable voice, which after so many years of rock-'n-roll has only become purer. Bart Buls has been a permanent sidekick since the beginning of Guy's solo career. Whether it's his Cash-related vocal sound, his bass guitar or his baritone acoustic guitar, the deep tones invariably come from him. Multi-instrumentalist David Piedfort provides the extra dressing with vocals, dobros, lapsteels and 12-strings. Known and lesser-known work by Guy and his mentors is undressed to the bare skin – until nothing remains but a caress for the ear. You may close your eyes and enjoy.
