Album Description
2009 release, the first album from the Michael Schenker-Gary Barden Acoustic Project. Schenker is the guitar legend and former Scorpions/UFO member. Long-term collaborator, Gary Barden's vocals give the cleverly arranged songs just the touch of soul they need for full impact. With Michael Vetter, Schenker has an experienced producer, a second guitarist as well as a background vocalist on board, who delivers an outstanding performance. Kai Luennemann on percussion completes the team. Gipsy Lady is an eclectic blend of songs and instruments which includes flamenco guitar, fiddles, flutes, strings and mouth organ.

Customer Reviews

another great schenker cd
this a great acoustic cd the melodies are awesome, the vocals are great,this is not an electric guitar album, so there is not alot of killer schenker solos.But it is a schenker cd with alot of creativity and feeling, so if you are a schenker fan like I am, and you love Gary Barden then you should get the cd.For people who call this elevator music, why buy it? It is acoustic.I own everything Schenker has ever made in his life, except for the one when he was 11 in his first band.I think he is the greatest guitar player on the face of the earth.

Even More Stylistic Diversity from Michael Schenker et al
Gipsy Lady takes twelve of the fourteen tracks to be found on Thank You 4 and completely reworks them into new tracks. It is not at all true to say that this album is 'Thank You 4 plus vocals', since there are new guitar parts, keyboard parts, bass parts and percussion parts added as well - and that's after sometimes considerable rearrangement of the original material. The result is a great mellow pop-rock album that is very easy listening, and will appeal to non-rockers as well. Gary Barden's vocals are great. Barden is like the William Shattner of the rock-vocals world - absolute proof of the indispensability of good quality ham. Perhaps the album should be labelled Schenker-Barden-Voss, since Michael Voss has clearly done much of the re-arrangement. Barden and Voss, of course, worked together in the execellent rock-band, Silver, as well as on some of Barden's solo material. Thus, Gipsy Lady is just a little bit like an acoustic 'Silver' album - except that the basic musical frameworks all come from Schenker's billiant Thank You material. The acoustic soloing is also Schenker, and largely preserved from the earlier project. Well done lads!

A Pleasant Surprise!
I ordered this because it was a Michael Schenker CD with Gary Barden (original MSG vocalist..). A big fan am I in case you haven't guessed....

What a pleasant surprise this CD turned out to be ..... it has exceeded my expectations on the first listen alone .... it will only get better with time, I'm sure.....

Very nice to hear Michael in such fine form, not to mention Gary's beautiful voice .... good to have ya back in the fold Gary!
