For 28 years, a Mentals song has been a ticket to some blissful eternal summer in the great Aussie subconscious. Dolled up in a safari suit or stripped down to speedos makes little difference. A staggering 22 of them have hit the Top 40 since 1977 and more than half of those are beautifully retooled here, in the warm wood-grain of an all-acoustic encore.'
Of all the Liberation Blue Acoustic albums to date, Plucked probably boasts the most stunning spread of instantly familiar household tunes.
The other trump card is mix engineer John Haeny, an American legend who began recording the likes of Duke Ellington in Minneapolis in the '50s and went on to give albums by Linda Ronstadt, Little Feat, Jackson Browne and Judy Collins the peerless warmth of classic '60s and '70s acoustic records.
