CHARLIE SOUZA – Unplugged: The Rose is a seven track collection from Charlie Souza a multi-talented singer/songwriter who also plays bass, guitar, piano and even sax. Souza has collaborated with many well-respected artists such as Tom Petty, Gregg Allman and Todd Rundren. Charlie's influences include Paul McCartney and CSN&Y. Souza is joined by other talented musicians who add to the versatile full sound found on this collection. Every song on this album is a winner! The CD includes new versions of former releases and a Beatle cover. Charlie's upbeat soft rock abounds in textured tones, rich vocal blends, layered with catchy hooks and first class production. His arrangements range from mellow melodies to hypnotic rockers. Track one is an upbeat positive version of an older song, it is followed by a Utopia influenced composition. The third song and title track 'The Rose' is a serious reflective poem fragrant with romantic visual lyrics. The fourth song is dreamy and mystical. Song five is a crisp clean cover of 'I Will' followed by 'Bring It Back' with its cool percussion, precise guitar work and funky world flavor. The closer is a reprise of Goodbye. The Rose is stunning!

Charlie Souza is an incredible artist, he can rock hard and still be great when the music gets melodic and mellow and The Rose is an example of that.
Unplugged music really suits Charlie Souza's voice, which sounds absolutely amazing on the new versions of old hits and Paul McCartney's song "I Will".
Aggiungo un commento nella mia lingua, per chi comprende l'italiano. The Rose - Unplugged è la colonna sonora perfetta per i momenti più intimi e dolci, le emozioni che sa suscitare saranno indimenticabili. Da non perdere.
