KT Tunstall: Acoustic Extravaganza

Another Rock N Roll crush is my Scottish heartthrob, Ms. KT Tunstall.

On the heels of her wildly successful, awesome, amazing, and wonderful disc Eye to the Telescope, KT goes the more acoustic route, doing an "Unplugged"-style disc comprised of 10 tracks. It's fairly standard fair for Ms. KT, but she handles it well.

Tunstall throws us a few ropes with the inclusion of some as-of-yet unreleased songs, including my personal favourite, Ashes. Change also manages to pick up some haunting atmosphere done on the acoustic guitar.

In the end: Sure, standard fair from Tunstall is still far above most of what we have these days, but it still feels fairly standard. It's a great way to get some new material out to the fans without doing a full album, but it really doesn't help to understand the direction she's going. If you like KT, you'll adore this.
