VANDENBERG'S MOONKINGS: Release Walk Away Lyric Video
November 10, 2018
VANDENBERG'S MOONKINGS have unveiled the official video for the stripped back acoustic version of 'Walk Away'.
'Burning Heart'
The track comes from their new record Rugged and Unplugged which will be released on 23rd November 2018 via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group.
Talking about the songs Vandenberg says; "here is the rock ballad 'Walk Away', one of my personal favourites from our acoustic album. We recorded it on a very dark, stormy night in the barn of Jan's farm, the right vibe for a ballad like this. Just the two of us pouring our hearts out on this one, as 'up close and personal' as you can get."
Rugged and Unplugged is a beautifully stripped back acoustic album which features songs from across Adrian Vandenberg's career. From his first band Teaser as a 20 year old he has always used an acoustic guitar in his recordings, which along with the electric guitar creates the light and shade dynamic that is the cornerstone to all of his records.
This project created the opportunity to strip down the big orchestral arrangements on songs such as 'What Doesn't Kill You' and 'Breathing' to just Vandenberg on acoustic guitar and the voice of Jan Hoving. His 1983 hit 'Burning Heart' gets a stunning reworking. 'One Step Behind' has a graceful warmth and 'Walk Away' feels both intimate and anthemic.
Originally from Whitesnake's 1989 album Slip of the Tongue, Sailing Ships has a delicate beauty to it that makes the hairs on your arm stand up and has become a favourite and regular in the MOONKINGS's live shows. 'Out Of Reach' is the only song that features drums, bass and violins and has a warm cascading elegance.
Like the two MOONKINGS albums, MoonKings (2014) and MK II (2017) it was produced by Adrian Vandenberg himself. It was recorded between Vandenberg's home studio and Jan Hoving's farm which gives it the relaxed, intimate and natural feel, away from the clinical studio environment. It is Vandenberg and Hoving doing what they do and love the most, playing music straight from the heart.
