Michael Carpenter - S.O.O.P #3 - Songs of Other People (2011)

"S.O.O.P. #3 - Songs of Other People" is a studio album by Australian multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter Michael Carpenter, released in April 2011 on his independent label, Big Radio Records.

S.O.O.P. stands for "Songs of Other People." It is a large-scale, long-running project by Carpenter, an incredibly prolific musician who has recorded a series of such compilations throughout his career (more than six numbered volumes in total), paying homage to his idols and musical inspirations.

"S.O.O.P. #3" is a love letter to classic pop and rock music of past decades from a master of 21st-century melodicism. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates high-quality guitar arrangements, musical erudition, and the traditions of old-school melodic rock.
