From the clothing chamber of my soul - this ingenious title fits like a famous fist to the eye to the new album of Beggar's Bride, the project of the Swiss Holggy Begg. After his last grandiosen concept work "On A Trip To L. A." he has drummed together approximately again the same crew (among other things Deep Purples Don Airey, Madmax' Michael Voss), in order to work further on his musical dream. After months ordered, it goes through the soul garden. The lyrics, mostly written together with his lyricist partner Rosa E. Haas, are both Rock'n'Roll compatible and lyrically appealing. It's about trivialities, funny anecdotes, but also about serious thoughts and crises. Musically this is partly more concrete, that is hard rockier than the predecessor, on the other hand folk and country borrowings are not missing. All in all, the music is located between the Who and the Eagles, but now has its own identity. Beggar's Bride have a special sound, which doesn't only go back to Begg, also Airey and singer and producer Voss have their part in it.
