the most recent Johnny Farnham release and its a live acoustic album...
not live from an arena,which he still performs sell-out shows here, but an intimate setting in an old converted church.
many Aussie artists have performed at this small venue for not only the intimacy of a small crowd but also the acoustics are meant to be fabulous there...
this one encompasses tracks from his back catalogue of his then 44yr career...
a good live set whereby his vocals are truly in the foreground where they can be heard in all their strength,frailty and melodious glorious best...
age has dimmed his voice slightly though and that is evident at times, but when you smoke a hundred cigarettes a day...its gotta take its toll on the vocal chords eventually.
but in his prime he had one of the best voices in the industry...well, when people like Engelburt and Tom Jones say "he has the best voice in the industry" you just gotta sit up and take notice because those guys have great voices...
all up, a decent set, but as usual, i dont rate/score live albums...i either dislike,like or love them as a whole...this one, i like.
