Michale Graves - Bedlam

The man doesn't stand still for a minute as he takes his new classic When Worlds Collide and turns the track list backwards, plays everything acoustic, replace "Dying on a Sunday Morning" with "Feels Like I'm Dying" to give us something new and fresh. On this album, Graves does it all and it is just amazing! A taste of the amazing music for true fans and fiends alike. The songs are masterful, amazing and another side is shown when everything is stripped away. I am in awe with how powerful the performances on here are as the dynamics change. This is not the same album as the full band release as this is a whole new beast! The whole album is magnificent as I cannot and will not choose standout tracks. Yes, it is a great release just like his Illusions Live album. There is simply magic when you give Graves just an acoustic guitar as he takes the songs you know and love and turns them upside down and around while dropping your jaw. If you ever had any doubts about his voice and talent, those two albums will make you a believer! In fact, it's simply bedlam what he does to these tracks and I love it because of it.
