Soho Square by Karen J White
- ● Showcasing the life and music of Kirsty MacColl.
● My first of two albums supporting my “Kirsty MacColl: My Tribute” show.
This is my second of my two albums which form a personal tribute to the life and music of Kirsty MacColl, the first having been “In These Shoes?”. Again, with the help of my
co-producer Nigel Pegrum and a lovely bunch of professional musicians I have interpreted the songs my way - these tracks are not aiming to sound identical to the Kirsty originals, they are good
old Karen J White throwing myself into the wonderful music - but not straying too far from the originals, which would upset many of the Kirsty fans … it is a fine balance!
This album completes my recordings of the 21 tracks chosen to go onto CDs (I already have another two tracks on “By Request”) and these songs go from Kirsty's first ever record
release in 1979 (“They Don't Know” with “Turn My Motor On” as the B side) to some from her final album in 2000 “Tropical Brainstorm” (tracks 1, 3,
7 & 10) with various stages in between!
