Alain’s album “Naked” captures the artist in his most intimate setting: solo guitar and voice, his foot lightly stomping, creating a captivating atmosphere much like his performances in the famed Copenhagen club “Mojo.” It is a stark and striking transference of magic and connection through the timeless medium of the blues, performed by a musician of great magnetism and irresistible joy. The album includes guest appearances by Marcus King on two tracks.
