MICHAEL SCHENKER: Acoustic Album Title Revealed

February 13, 2009

German guitarist Michael Schenker (MSG, UFO, SCORPIONS) has told the guitar blog Guitar Legends that his forthcoming acoustic album with singer Gary Barden, "Gypsy Lady", is tentatively scheduled for release in April. Asked where the idea of recording an acoustic LP came from, Michael said, "[it] came from my curiosity [about] how my acoustic instrumental work would sound with vocals. So Gary had a go on some of my latest material and I was happily suprised with the outcome. We continued and it turned out very well."

MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP (MSG) will embark on a North American tour in late March.

The group's lineup for the trek will consist of the following musicians:

Michael Schenker - Guitar
Gary Barden - Lead Vocals
Robbie Crane (RATT) - Bass, Vocals
Chris Slade (AC/DC, THE FIRM) - Drums
Wayne Findlay - Keyboards, Guitar

MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP's latest album, "In The Midst Of Beauty", was released on May 13, 2008 via Inakustic GMBH. The CD features returning MSG singer Gary Barden, drummer Simon Philips (THE WHO, TOTO),bassist Neil Murray (BLACK SABBATH, WHITESNAKE) and keyboardist Don Airey (DEEP PURPLE, OZZY OSBOURNE).
