Acoustic Extravaganza [PA]

Performer: KT Tunstall
Engineer: Graham Deas
Producer: Steve Osborne
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall's debut, EYE TO THE TELESCOPE, proved the artist's mettle as a soulful pop chanteuse falling somewhere between Dido and Fiona Apple, yet it also underscored her unique sense of songcraft and powerfully earnest sensibility. The album's highly polished production is a bit distracting, however, which is one of the reasons the 10-song ACOUSTIC EXTRAVAGANZA is a treat. Featuring acoustic performances by Tunstall and her band, including a version of her first single, "Throw Me a Rope," the album offers a portrait of the artist in a pared-down setting that allows the songs and her lovely voice to shine.

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]low songs like 'Throw Me a Rope' show some real folk-pop kicks....Solid acoustic jams like 'Boo Hoo' and 'Miniature Disasters' show off a Joplin fetish..."

Bursting on to the U.K. music scene seemingly out of nowhere in 2005, KT Tunstall is a Scottish singer-songwriter who blends the earthy pop sensibilities of Sheryl Crow with the darker leanings of Cat Power and Beth Orton. Her debut album, EYE TO THE TELESCOPE, was huge hit in the U.K. before being released stateside in early 2006.
