Over the weekend I spent time listening to various CDs, and "No Frills" by Nik Kershaw emerged as a reference CD on my Salk speakers.
No Frills features solo-acoustic Nik Kershaw singing deconstructing selected songs while very tastefully playing acoustic guitar. The level of craftmanship is top notch, but the best part is the amazing wide-open and airy sound quality. My Salks exposed very subtle nuances I'd
never noticed before. Highly recommended as a demo disc - or just to enjoy thoroughly!
I bought it from the artist's own web site:
Nik Kershaw's site, but there may be other avenues. This is a self-released CD, so digital downloads are easier to find, but the extra effort is more than worth it!
