At the urging of his fans, Furtado recorded his solo acoustic shows across the country and put together this much awaited live album. A phenomenal player of slide guitar and banjo, Furtado gained critical acclaim for the 2004 release, These Chains. Bare Bones shows another side of a constantly evolving and composite artist. He s joined by Memphis powerhouse singer Susan Marshall on one track.
Roots of Rock - If you are one of the fortunate people who have seen Tony Futado play slide guitar and banjo, then this CD is a must have for you collection. If you have never heard Tony, this is a great place to start. It takes a lot of courage to walk on to a stage alone armed only with acoustic instuments, and I can think of no one who does it as well as Tony does here. The Angry Monk, St John s Fire and Berta all crackle with energy. Tony s cover of Runnin Down the Dream is inventive and inspiring. This CD is exactly what Tony s fans have been asking for. Roots music stripped down to its Bare Bones.
