More about this Product
Kurt Cobain, Nirvana's lead singer and guitarist, is captured during the November 1993 recording of the 'MTV Unplugged in New York' live album.
The Unplugged album surprised many of Nirvana's fans with a defiantly low-key performance. Kurt's voice had never sounded so expressive, and the band played as few had heard them before; Nirvana reworked many of their greatest songs as accoustic numbers, challenging all objections that they were just a rock and roll band.
The sound of the recording was sombre and contempletive and, with the recording being made just six months before Kurt's untimely passing, this was later attributed greater significance. The album remained unreleased until November 2004 and has since stood as one of Nirvana's greatest achievements; a beautiful, nuanced elergy from one of music's most recent icons.
