Blue – Acoustic Work 1987-1991 : Mike Peters (1997)

Desciption

Second part of the Acoustic Works set again sees Mike Peters with acoustic guitar and harmonica this time concentrating on the later works of The Alarm and reworking some of the highlights from the albums “Eye Of The Hurricane”, “Change and Raw” and hits like “Rain In The Summertime”, “Rescue Me” and “Sold Me Down The River”. The test of the quality of any song is how good it sounds when stripped down to the bare minimum, and here Mike Peters demonstrates what excellent songwriters The Alarm became.
