Balcony Lullabies
This LP contains 12 works, partly own compositions, partly work by others including John Lennon, Hoagy Carmichael and Charles Mitchell. Only the electric guitar is used on side A. On side B some songs are also performed on acoustic guitar. As the title suggests, these are twelve sweet songs that originated in isolation during the Corona lock down.
Review
Solid recording, just audiophile, pressed on 180 grams of black vinyl. The recordings are from May 2020. It is good to mention that Neumann U47 and Neumann m269 microphones were used.
