Guy Naset “Share The Spirit”

Guy Naset is a mystery. None of the Thai record collectors I’ve spoken with have any idea what happened to him after he released this album. Most have never even heard of him. It’s as if he showed-up in Bangkok, recorded a few songs, and then completely disappeared.

Guy Naset’s Share The Spirit album is one of Thailand’s great private press oddities. Firmly rooted in the pop rock genre, songs on the album also flirt with reggae, AOR, country and metal. Notably, the session musicians on the record include a few Thai rock music legends.
