Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing the orchestral framework of his previous covers album ('Scratch My Back'), the iconic vocalist applies the same treatment entirely to his own back catalog. Stripping away guitars and standard drum kits, the classic tracks are radically re-imagined with lush, cinematic symphonic arrangements.

Descriptors: orchestral, string arrangements, theatrical, soaring-vocals, melodic
