Seit den frühen 90er Jahren steht MTV Unplugged für außergewöhnliche Akustik-Konzerte von außergewöhnlichen Künstlern. Immer wieder zeigen hier die ganz Großen der internationalen und nationalen Musikszene, dass sie auch »unplugged« und live Musik auf allerhöchstem Niveau abliefern können. Dass nun Max Raabe & Palast Orchester eingeladen wurden, die Reihe der in Deutschland aufgezeichneten MTV Unplugged-Konzerte fortzusetzen, ist nur folgerichtig: Seit vielen Jahren zählen sie zu den erfolgreichsten Musikformationen Deutschlands, ihre Tourneen führen sie rund um den Globus, sie begeistern ihr Publikum von London bis Tokio. Und mit ihrem klassischen Instrumentarium sind sie ohnehin schon »Unplugged«-Spezialisten.

A classic second-in-command rocker in the tradition of Keith Richards and Johnny Thunders, Little Steven has also made a mark apart from his erstwhile boss, the Boss. The man also known as Miami Steve Van Zandt had a major hand in Southside Johnny's bar-band masterwork Hearts of Stone, was the linchpin in 1985's Artists United Against Apartheid project, and lead his own group, the Disciples of Soul, for a time after his 1984 departure from the E Street Band. Largely out of the picture through the 1990s, Little Steven returns with a solo outing that rocks harder and is more inflamed lyrically than one might have expected from this long-AWOL warrior.

For Martin Kemp and his wife Shirlie, recording a Swing album together has been as much of a surprise to them as it will no doubt be to their fans. Separately the '80s icons have enjoyed huge chart success over the decades with the Brit Award-winning Spandau Ballet and as one half of Pepsi and Shirlie, touring with best friend George Michael when they were backing singers in the glory days of Wham! Yet, up until the summer of 2019, the only singing the couple did together was probably in the kitchen while cooking a Sunday roast. Martin had been working on a solo album with super producer Brian Rawling (Cher, Tina Turner, One Direction) when he invited his wife to step back into the recording studio for the first time in 30 years to help him out on a track.
