Members Hudman Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 Anything by John Fahey, Don Ross, Iron & Wine, Leo Kottke, Laurence Juber and Tommy Emmanuel. Ray Lamontagne "Trouble", Damian Rice "O" and Ryan Adams "The Suicide Handbook" are cool singer-songwriter acoustic CD's. John Mayer's live acoustic CD, "The Village Sessions", is very cool. Love him or hate him, he is equally talented on acoustic and electric guitar. Eric Clapton, Alice and Chains and the Nirvana Unlugged CD's will always be favorites of mine. The Foo Fighters "In Your Honor" is a double CD. One disk is electric, the other disk is acoustic. It's really cool if you dig Dave Grohl's songwriting (I'm a big Foo Fighter fan).

Is Pat Smear back with them? I know he plays on the acoustic album and I've seen him pop up in a few Hagstrom ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattSkibaIsGOD Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hudman, I totally agree with Ray LaMontagne. He's a total beast. either Trouble or Till the Sun Turns Black is a good way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lonerstoenr Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 Any others for someone that's just getting into acoustic music? (brings thread back from the dead!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Abando Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well, we need some more rock music on this........old & new. I will mention albums that are primarily acoustic driven. Softer side of rock. Don't go nuts on me if an electric guitar shows up for a few seconds or on a particular song from the album: Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left Mountain Goats - Tallahassee Bonnie Prince Billy - I see a Darkness Bon Iver -For Emma. Forever Ago Bonnie Prince Billy - Ease down the Road The Handsome Family -Through The Trees Bob Dylan - Another Side of Bob Dylan Nick Drake -Bryter Layter Neil Young - Harvest Bonnie Prince Billy - Master & Everyone Belle & Sebastian - If you are Feeling Sinister Nick Drake - Pink Moon Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Simon & Garfunkel - Complete Collection Bob Dylan - Bringing it all Home Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding Nick Cave - No More Shall We Part Belle & Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap Abando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NEWYORK Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 Did this thread actually go 4 pages without a single mention of Chris Whitley or Kelly Joe Phelps? Yes, Yes Indeed ! I also find that incredible. What is even more unbelievable is that there's not one mention of Heinrich Schnerkfarbell - the famous Lituanian guitarist and contortionist. Yes, Yes indeed !
