News: Florence & The Machine
Florence Welch & Josh Homme Duet On ‘Unplugged’ LP
After releasing last year’s Ceremonials, Florence & The Machine are now preparing their very first live album, in the form of MTV Unplugged – A Live Album. As acoustic and live albums tend to please mostly the diehard fans, this one is set to draw a particular amount of attention, due to a special appearance by Queens of the Stone Age centerpiece Josh Homme.
As Florence’s official site reports, the live acoustic album album is comprised of tracks performed at a gig in New York, last December. For the track Jackson, she was joined on a duet by the equally-ginger Homme, who flew to NY specifically to perform the duet. While Jackson was composed by Jerry Leiber and Billy Edd Wheeler, the song was later made famous by Johnny & June Cash.
MTV Unplugged – A Live Album is set for a release on April 9th. Until then, watch Florence & The Machine’s recently released (and rather artsy) video for the song Never Let Me Go:

1. Only If For A Night
