Jag vet inte varför, albumet känns nytt, men nytt på ett traditionellt sätt - Nick Cave<br/><br/>"Push the Sky Away" är ett naturalistiskt album som med en subtil skönhet bygger på moderna myter och nutida kulturella referenser. Nick Cave skapade albumet under ett års tid där han hämtade inspiration från det liv han observerat från sitt hus vid havet. Låtarna tog form genom noteringar i en anspråkslös anteckningsbok. Boken blev en värdefull artefakt i skapandet, men internets digitala uppslagsverk var en minst lika viktig ingrediens för Cave. <br/>Hur fenomen som Google och Wikipedia förmedlar kuriosa och anekdoter, hur dessa färgar vår historia, och om vad som sedermera hålls som vedertagna sanningar.<br/><br/>"Push the Sky Away" präglas av en vägran att acceptera begränsningar, oavsett om dessa kommer från musikaliska normer eller lyriska förpliktelser.<br/><br/>Albumet, som är producerat av Nick Launay och inspelat på La Fabrique i södra Frankrike, är Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds femtonde studioalbum.

The concert was recorded at the historic Vienna Opera House July 2012 during a very special two-week long unplugged tour, played to a limited audience over seven exclusive European shows. Varying from Bonamassa's predominantly electric blues shows, this presentation was an all-acoustic concert performance, making it a unique and very special show fans had been waiting years to experience.<br/><br/>The Opera House in Vienna, regarded as the "City of Music," was chosen for the main event because of its history and splendour, and association with many legendary composers. Accompanying Bonamassa on the same stage once graced by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Mahler, and Haydn are traditional Irish fiddler Gerry O'Connor, who also plays mandolin and banjo; Swedish multi-instrumentalist Mats Wester on the nyckelharpa, a keyed fiddle; Los Angeles-based keyboardist Arlan Schierbaum texturing the mix with celeste, accordions, toy pianos, and assorted "organic" instruments; and renowned Puerto Rican percussionist Lenny Castro.<br/><br/>Joe recalls, "Originally, when I had the idea of doing an all-acoustic concert, I imagined doing it solo. I'd surround myself with a bunch of guitars, tell the background story of each song, and then play it. Kevin believed the show would be more exciting with a band and he got to work. All of a sudden, we had a five-piece group, and 72 hours to rehearse 20 or so songs. It was amazing, different than anything I'd ever done before." <br/><br/>An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House features gorgeously textured music made with a wealth of rare, vintage, organic, and "oddball" instruments. Highlights among the 22 songs include "Woke Up Dreaming"-the one acoustic song, and fan favourite, that Bonamassa regularly plays during his electric shows- as well as "Around The Bend," "Driving Towards The Daylight," "Ball Peen Hammer," and "Sloe Gin." <br/> <br/>The show is produced by Kevin Shirley, whose productions have been at the top of the charts for decades, including works from Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden to Beth Hart and John Hiatt.<br/><br/>"To say this was a challenge is an understatement," said Bonamassa. "To say this was a departure from anything I had ever done before is an even bigger understatement. I can say with full certainty that it was the most enjoyable tour I have ever done. On this tour I really learned the virtues of my singing lessons over the years. Take away those long guitar solos, all that sustain and that big Gibson sound and what is left leaves you no option but to dig deep and sing until you can't sing anymore."
