Just like the Blackshirt\u2019s edition, Almost Unplugged comes in a slim-DVD case!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t miss this special release by Midg\u00e5rd Records, unlike but still alike any Whitelaw release.<\/p>\n
Whitelaw Almost Unplugged, a project undertaken by Benny and Paul of Whitelaw.<\/p>\n
This project came about to enhance different styles of musical qualities and ideas that both Benny and Paul had been thinking about for a long time. Paul is known for his guitar skills on tracks recorded on albums and when playing live, but with Whitelaw Almost Unplugged, it has given him the freedom to totally express his guitar skills to the max. It\u2019s opened up a whole different meaning with his guitar solos, changing the dimensions of some songs that were previously recorded on earlier albums.<\/p>\n
This album is a show case album for Pauls abilities as a musician to take it to another level. Using a mixture of guitars, acoustic and electric totally enhances the sounds, created to make the tracks full and bold. The acoustic guitar used is a Hohner guitar, which was previously owned by Ian Stuart, and this gives it a great twist to hear one of his guitars working again. All songs can have different attributes in them, some can be about lyrical content, others can be about a singalong chorus or a full drum or bass line, but with Whitelaw Almost Unplugged it was about showcasing both lyrical range and quality guitarmanship together on an equal level to enhance the sound of the songs. This can be seen especially in some songs where Paul plays a Middle Eight on his Jackson electric guitar. Most notably in the reworked song Good Friends, which originally was recorded on \u2018Take the Salute\u2019 the album in 1998. Benny and Paul wanted to show that, even though some of the songs included on this album had been previously worked and released before, new life could be breathed into them, giving them a new direction and meaning. With Benny\u2019s lyrics and passion for writing songs inspiring people, and with the mix of Pauls guitaring, the songs just cry out at you. This album retains the work of the full band and showcases the hard work and determination of all the band members of Whitelaw.
