Lo primero que llama la atención de Karapiperis es su
estilo para cantar, aprovechando su gruesa voz que le da un tono
similar al de Tom Waits, buscando también con su música emular al gran
artista estadounidense.
En “Something Like Blues Or Haunted Ballads”
Karapiperis hace algo similar a lo que hecho en su anterior disco
“Fifteen Raindrops In An Ocean Of Blues Tales”: jugar con una serie de
historias que van siendo hiladas por la música, no son relatos
sueltos sino que se convierten en una suerte de cuentos musicalizados,
creando una paleta de colores y sonidos que pueden llegar a salirse
de lo normal.
Además de eso, también llama la atención que este
disco es una producción realmente solista ya que es el mismo
Karapiperis quién interpreta guitarras, bajo y teclados, instrumentos
que se convierten en los acompañantes perfectos para el sonido
vagabundo de la armónica por los paisajes que ha creado el griego.

The first thing that caught my attention was the
style of Karapiperis' singing since his thick voice gives a tone
similar to that of Tom Waits. His music also emulates the great
American artist.
In "Something Like Blues Or Haunted Ballads" Karapiperis does something similar to what he did in his previous album "Fifteen Raindrops In An Ocean Of Blues Tales". He plays around with a series of stories that spin around his music , creating a palette of colors and sounds that can actually break away from the ordinary due to their originality.
What is very impressive, is the fact that this album was written and composed by himself . Karapiperis played all the instruments in that CD like the guitar, the bass and the keyboards, as well as the harmonica which seems to be the perfect companion for the journey to the landscapes of blues that this Greek artist has created.
