Some of the songs on the album are unplugged versions of band material and other songs that until now had no outlet.
Armed with an acoustic guitar and a bunch of songs, Keith set out to do a few solo acoustic gigs. The experience proved to be so enjoyable and audiences warmed to the personality that comes across in a more intimate and simple form, it was decided to do more.
