L.A. Guns Acoustic Album Coming
. Produced, mixed and mastered by Grammy winner Neil Citron, this is the first acoustic album by the acclaimed Los Angeles band in their 29-year history, recorded at The Hotel Caf� in Hollywood. L.A. Guns will embark on a national tour in September to support the CD. What makes Acoustic Gypsy Live so startling is its nuanced attention-to-detail � a musical awareness that L.A. Guns, who never diluted the manic hysteria of their songs one iota in their previous records, relishes in on Acoustic Gypsy Live. With a gorgeous lead guitar solo by Tracii, the CD's opener, "Crystal Eyes," hits a bulls-eye with its beauty and clarity-of-vision. Stark, dramatic, simplistically pristine, the inherent harmonic structure of the song itself reaches that part of the soul where honesty is a given, not a constructed artifice. The song cruises to completion to set the scene for the kind of album that no one�including the band itself�even knew was in them. Vocalist Jizzy still works up the growl, as evidenced on "One Way Ticket." Tracii started L.A. Guns while still in high school in 1982. The original singer, Michael Jagosz, was replaced by Axl Rose. Signed to PolyGram in '87, their self-titled debut, with Phil Lewis replacing Rose, sold over a million copies, as did Cocked and Loaded (1989) and Hollywood Vampires (1991). With 14 tracks�including not only their hits, but covers of Boudleaux Bryant's "Love Hurts" and Otis Redding's "These Arms Of Mine"�Acoustic Gypsy Live proves these longtime latenight denizens of the Sunset Strip need no electricity to kick ass.
