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’ – none of which had been performed for at least two decades.
