He could! For his vocal qualities come at this reduced production to full advantage. So earthy and pleasant location dirty his voice even begins, tonal he is brilliant. Neither Udo Lindenberg even Herbert Grönemeyer could such an album with this vocal intensity deliver. In his legendary German adaptation of the Janis Joplin classic "Mercedes Benz" brilliant location actually already on this album acapella - which then comes with omitting the pants probably until the next time ... With 60 years of his voice is like a really good old wine, develops fully the qualities.
In all the other songs he takes the Acoustic Guitar for help. And as one may cavil something. Klaus Lage is now not even Eric Clapton. When "Live for Two" album, which in effect was similar intense and intimate as "single-handedly", enriched the strong piano playing the haunting interpretations Klaus Lages. The force of the piano went well with Lages strong voice. Only with hiking guitar (and not even played original and virtuosic) is the musical dress in some places a little too thin.
The song selection is a very good cross section from all phases. Alone why it's just a single album is again (as well as both previous live albums of Janis Joplin) and no double CD, she will not reveal to me. Too bad, because the album creates a pleasant atmosphere in which one could well have endured it a second CD long.
