Fundamentalist is a studio album by Russell Morris released in May 2007. It captures a collection of material performed solo/acoustic by Russell Morris, including his two no.1 singles, "The Real Thing" and "Part Three into Paper Walls". As of 2013, the album has sold around 8,000 copies in Australia. [2]
Bruce Elder of Sydney Morning Herald said this album has "impressive acoustic version[s]" of "Wings of an Eagle", "Sweet, Sweet Love", "The Real Thing" and "Part Three into Paper Walls" and complimented the "remarkably intense and personal reading of Bob Dylan's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' and a suitably chugging reading of Lennon-McCartney's 'I Am The Walrus '". Elder concluded the review with: "He has been constantly touring for the past 11 years and the experience of the road produces versions of the songs that, in some instances, are little short of amazing. 'The Real Thing', when backed by little more than an acoustic guitar, sounds as good as the original piece of pop psychedelia." [3]
