TONY WAKEFORDParis2002CDTursa Archive 002Tony Wakeford's Paris features an accoustic concert of Sol Invictus songs recorded at the Theatre Dubois in November 1994.Accompanied by Nathalie Van Keymeulen and Céline Marleix-Bardeau, the unplugged Wakeford is not entirely solo, but this is a minimalist performance relying on the inherent strength of Tony's songs and his appeal as a 'singer-songwriter' (although that appelation usually conjures up a rather different image).The French audience is respectful rather than ecstatic, but this makes for a very clear recording that might have been made in a studio were it not for the polite applause at the end of each song.The material is from Tony's established repertoire, so is this collection worth getting? I think so, especially if you value the folk in neofolk. Here is someone singing his own songs and playing the guitar in front of a live audience and without benefit of loops, samples or programming. It's available directly from Tursa. Go on, you know yo
