Bowie, David - VH1 Storytellers

NEW VINYL LP ON WB 2019

2 x 180 GRAM VINYL.

The idea behind the ¡®Storytellers¡¯ format was for the musical guests to perform in front of a live audience while telling stories around each song. As well as Bowie, the show hosted the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Bee Gees and Steely Dan. David Bowie¡¯s recording was made at The Manhattan Center¡¯s Grand Ballroom in New York. Because Bowie was promoting the ¡­Hours album a third of this 12-song selection is from ¡®the new album¡¯. On the plus side, David deliver some (relative) ¡®deep cuts¡¯ including ¡®Can¡¯t Help Thinking About Me,¡¯ ¡®Drive-In Saturday¡¯ and ¡®Word On A Wing¡¯ ¨C none of which had been performed for at least two decades.
