Barefoot is not the first album the former Badloves frontman Michael Spiby has recorded since his impeccably crafted solo debut of 2000, Ho's Kitchen, but it's the first he's felt happy enough to release. After five years of painstaking studio experimentation, these fast and loose recordings are the first to measure up to his criteria as a passionate devotee of pure soul music. Barefoot is a record of Spiby's fearless instincts as an interpreter. Highlights include Al Green's "Rhymes", Jackson Browne's "Doctor My Eyes" and a daring waltz-time retake of the Bee Gees' "Jive Talking".
