Richard Ashcroft Acoustic Hymns Vol.1 Vinyl LP - Released 29th October 2021.
Richard Ashcroft Acoustic Hymns Vol.1 Vinyl LP
With "Acoustic Hymns Vol. 1" - and thus twelve newly arranged and recorded acoustic versions of classics from his back catalog, which includes both his solo career and his time with The Verve, Richard Ashcroft will be his new album on October 29th.
When Richard started the project right after the lockdown ended,his goal was to bring the people around him, but above all of course, a selection of great musicians and long-time friends back together. While some of the arrangements still proved to be timeless and close to the originals, Richard Ashcroft's vocals - whose years of experience were accompanied by a newfound passion - still breathed a completely new and fresh look into the lyrics of these songs. Other songs, however, took on a completely new form in this reduced set-up. For the production of "Acoustic Hymns Vol. 1" Ashcroft once again got the support of his long-time collaborator Chris Potter - you can also hear his regular live band with some 'special guests': Wil Malone, for example, provides the string arrangements - recorded in the Abbey Road
