Jherek Bischoff And Amanda Palmer - Strung Out In Heaven A Bowie String Quartet Tribute
Review by Steve Lamond
The album Strung Out In Heaven A Bowie String Quartet Tribute by Jherek Bischoff and Amanda Palmer is a stunning tribute to the legendary David Bowie. The album features 12 tracks, each one reimagined and reinterpreted by a string quartet. The arrangements are lush and intricate, with each instrument playing a vital role in creating a unique and haunting atmosphere.
Bischoff and Palmer have done an excellent job of capturing the essence of Bowie's music, while also bringing their own unique perspective to each track. The album is a perfect blend of classic Bowie hits and lesser-known gems, and fans of all ages will find something to love here.
The standout tracks on the album include "Blackstar," "Life on Mars," and "Space Oddity," which are all given new life by the string quartet. The vocals by Amanda Palmer are also exceptional, adding an emotional depth to each track.
