Written and performed by Rafael de Swarte on acoustic guitar and vocals, the album includes home recordings with friends on second guitar, some with bass, plus studio and gig recordings with some great caribbean musicians.

The title track features explosive desperate words of a soldier lost in a desolate war zone and song 11 is a sparkling live latin-caribbean style track revealing strange goings on at a hotel.

This album has genuine variety and contrast: de Swarte is probably the best unknown old school singer songwriter!

Shades Of Glory is his 14th album release since 2016's Midnight Fool which was his first in forty years.

Edition of 50 CDs including lyric booklet.
