Here's a thing I did just for fun. It's a one take live acoustic redording of me playing and singing Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". I got a couple of comments in one of me previous posts that I sounded a little bit like bowie, and I have a friend who always say I sound like him. So I thought I'd try to sing one of his songs and record it.
Struggled a bit with some notes, as you might hear, but it was pretty fun :woot:

Played that album to death back in the day. Liked your version mate, and there is a bit of Bowie in your voice that I had never noticed either.

Great stuff from one of my all time fave albums..Mick Ronson was THE all round muso of his day & a lot of people don't realise he was the man who did all the guitars,most of the piano's & all the string arrangements (Even the Epic "Life on Mars " strings etc) & you do this acoustic version superb! :bowdown:

Not the easiest of people to emulate , but you did very well . Steady strumming and an articulate voice .
Sweet listen :)

This was sweet! The mic'ing of the acoustic was great! You DO sound like Bowie!! I love this tune! Great job Per!! (you somewhat remind me of Goport's vocals in a way). :) I guess it's a British thing? ;) Excellent my friend!

I got say mate its been really cool watching and hearing you progress as a singer, you've gotten to a stage to my ears where you're singing the songs the best you ever have, and with confidence too, i heard it the other day on Paint It Black, and again here, its great to hear, and as always the acoustic work was spot on, 5 :thumb:
That is pretty uncanny as to how similar your voice is to DB. Has he ever done an unplugged album; seems like you could bootleg your own and fool a lot of people. Very cool recording Per.
