Michale Graves - Camp Scare-Away

So, the blurb on the back says there is something extra but, in essence, it is a solo acoustic performance by the man around a campfire with some lucky fans. The material focuses on his solo material from Vagabond to When Worlds Collide ignoring his first 3 solo albums and his Misfits material. I am happy he stayed away from the Misfits stuff as this lets his own solo work shine. However, I am a little bummed and shocked that his first 3 outings are ignored aloned with the material from Graves the band and Gotham Road. Graves is an amazing song writer and sometimes we forget that as people remember him only for that material. Could they have done a little extra? Maybe but, then it would have been cheesy to have Michale actually pretend to be scared and that's why he sings. Creates a nice little build up that makes you expect one thing but, you get something better instead. Great release as I recommend this release for any fan to check out. The music shines as the simplicity of it all allows you to truly appreciate how good of a song writer Michale Graves actually is.
