BUMBLEFOOT (Sons Of Apollo) – Barefoot 2 & 3 The Acoustic EP’s (2020) + VOICES OF APOLLO debut *EXCLUSIVE*
As requested, here’s the just released two Ep’s by BUMBLEFOOT, “Barefoot 2 & 3“. Very busy with Sons Of Apollo and other projects, now with the Covid-19 lockdown the guitarist found time to record these songs.
Some time ago Bumblefoot released the first “Barefoot” acoustic ep, a collection of own songs played as stripped-down acoustic versions.
Now for “Barefoot 2 & 3”, Bumblefoot is doing acoustic versions of songs he always loved and wanted to cover, including ‘Wasted Years’ (Iron Maiden), ‘Every Little Thing’ (The Police), ‘Only Time Will Tell (Asia)’. Recorded in April 2020, raw and natural sounding, these are great versions.
The second 2020 ‘Barefoot 3’ acoustic EP takes the ‘Barefoot’ series up a notch, with intricate guitar arrangements, big backing vocals, and drummer Kyle Hughes joining Bumblefoot.
“The aim was to capture the spirit each song has,” says Ron. “I took every part of every instrument from the songs and translated them to acoustic guitar – from learning Elton John’s piano parts to playing through a wah and talkbox for ‘Tell Me Something Good’, and tapping into the personalities of the different singers – I had so much fun making this album!”
But wait, we have more; while in quarantine, Bumblefoot and his Sons Of Apollo bandmates Mike Portnoy and Jeff Scott Soto have recorded a new song few days ago under the moniker VOICES OF APOLLO, a Beatles cover they often sing together on tour.
