It was groundbreaking and was very well received. A Very Thin Wire, the fourth and newest album of the now 55-year-old American artist is being released in DSD by the Stockfisch label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrauss' dark and multifaceted voice is at all times present at the center of the stage without pushing the instruments into the background. Steve Strauss, whose singer\/songwriter music reveals deep insights into his emotional life and psyche, is congenially accompanied by the string-virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Ian Melrose this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album begins lively and vibrant with the song \"Somebody Tell Me\", which is followed by the melancholic and pensive \"Blue\": this is a touching song based on Strauss' many years of experience working as a psychotherapist with children and young people. With \"In The Flood\" he sympathetically tells us of the dreadful floods that took place in his hometown of Binghampton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the 11 songs of his own, Strauss also presents two covers, one of which particularly stands out. In 2005 for his second album he had recorded a moving version of Springsteen's \"Youngstown\"; and this time around it is \"The Heart of Saturday Night\" from the great Tom Waits, which Strauss skillfully makes his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a collection of 13 musical gems. This is a highly varied album representative of the best songwriter tradition, inviting you to lean back, relax, and enjoy. It envelopes you with a glass-clear sound which makes you weak at the knees and lets you melt away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Mathias Pack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KLXvjyRoNuk","brand":"Stockfisch Records","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739350479172,"sku":null,"price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/0132097-1-1.jpg?v=1790534687","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/0132097-a-very-thin-wire","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
