Captain Morgan Express - Naked To The Nipple: Live At Slok (2019)

Naked to The Nipple is the title of the new album from Captain Morgan Express. The successor of the well-received debut album Fistful of Dirt is a registration of the unplugged performance at the New Year's Dive Festival early this year in Utrecht. Where the captain is known to date for his unpolished blues, he shows his finely trimmed side in this acoustic setting.

The step from heavily reinforced to plug-free performance did not go without a struggle. “I was used to the wall of sound anyway. The first time we played unplugged, I felt terribly naked on stage. I was happy that my box of harmonicas stood at cruising height in front of my nose, "winks singer / blues harpist Johnny" Boy "Brouwer. The first acoustic performance of Captain Morgan Express took place in the tent where Naked to The Nipple was recorded, the Utrecht café Willem Slok. Johnny "Boy" Brouwer: "That was really New Orleans on the canal then. It was a tropical spring day in May and we played as street musicians on the terrace. Playing at low volume greatly increases our performance options. We now play in the most intimate occasions, such as whiskey tastings, obscure record stores and women's hairdressing salons, although of course we also like to continue to perform electrically full of gas.
