Your Favorite Acoustic Music ?

Recommended Posts

I will admit I want to use this as a resource to go to so I can look for new Acoustic Music. It has quickly become one of my favorite genre to listen to

 

My definition of Acoustic does not mean a recording need be 100% Acoustic rather be predominately Acoustic.

 

I am currently listening to Rodrigo-Y-Gabriela, Stairway to Heaven on the MHDT and I must say it is glorious right up there with the best vinyl playback I have heard, This dac and acoustic are made for each other. 

 

So please post some of your favorite acoustic music here, I will start off with a few of my favorites 

 

Steve Earl, Transcendental Blues, Over Yonder

 

Rodrigo-Y-Gabriela, self titled album, C.U.B.A. Area 51

 

Eric Clapton, Unplugged (Deluxe version from HD Tracks is amazing)

 

White Stripes, Get Behind Me Satan, As Ugly as I Seem

 

Ray Lamontagne,  Gossip in the Grain, Trouble, Till the Sun Turns Black, all Excellent IMHO

 

Damien Rice, Anything 

 

Sulfjan Stevens, Michigan, Illinoise

 

Bon Iver, For Emma Forever Ago

 

Bruce Springsteen, Basically anything he did Acoustic

 

I will add more as I think of them

100 percent concur with John Prine, He is great, I will have a look at Hiatt

 

 

 

Leonard Cohen

 

Tom Waits

 

Both belong on the first list, Just get lost at times, Memory is not what it used to be :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

check out "slow turning," great cd. I guess he's about 50/50 amplified/acoustic. he usually changes his back-up band every 1 or 2 albums. he always seems to find great musicians to play with, sonny landreth being one....he played on slow turning also.

Adrian Legg Guitar for Mortals ( I will credit this to Jbryan as he is the reason I have this one)

I like the Unplugged series as well (Clapton, McCartney esp.)

Also, Strunz and Farrah...

I have 1 strunz album that was a gift and to be honest I have not listened to it (I have a good bit of music like that I am ashamed to admit  :( ) but since it gets a thumbs up here I will move it higher on the list.I will also have to look for McCartney unplugged, I have a few unplugged albums but have not heard McCartney

Try JAMES-LAID Album. Excellent listening. One of my all time favorites, and with tubes even better.

 

There is a street musician named Kartal from Miami. He has music online also. He plays Flamenco music with the Acrylic strings. If you can't find it let me know,I can burn a copy for you and send it. Same thing with the James CD.

Steve Earle

 

 

 

 

last week I was watching reruns of "the wire" on hbo. the season where earle acts as bubble's sponsor, and he also sings the theme song. underrated musician imo.

I like several of those you mentioned Joe. Also like one that nobody's mentioned yet. NIRVANAs' MTV Unplugged. Some of the songs are played in a manner that is completely different from the way they were performed on the album in which they were officially released. Unfortunately Kurt Cobain wasn't able to get a handle on his depression and we'll never get another treat. The album may be too dark for some, but I really enjoy it.

 

Here's just a few songs.

 

All Apologies

 

About A Girl

 

Lake Of Fire
