The latest in Mister Stormy's Monday Selection (Occasional Series - Acts of Random Archive Rummaging) is Eyes Wide Open recorded at The Tracking Room in Nashville, on July 22, 2002. Click here to download.
Eyes Wide Open is one of those KC ballads that moves gently enough and yet still gets under the skin. In this specially created rendition, Alex ‘Stormy’ Mundy has taken an early rehearsal run-through and aligned it with the vocal track from the finished take that appears on The Power To Believe. In doing so he’s created a spacious might-have-been alternative in which Adrian’s exquisite vocal shines through alongside a simple but effective rhythmic structure.
