Hey Grampa,
Isn't Steve Stevens a monster player?? I saw them do that on a television special and I was blown away!
It's not what comes to mind when I am asked what 'acoustic rock' records do I suggest................How about the album that has 'Hey Grandma', the first Moby Grape album?
"8:05" is one of the most beautiful acoustic lead-ins to a song, ever.

That's Peter Lewis, son of Loretta Young, playing the fingerpicking part.
Now watch all the young bloods go scrambling to find this album!
This, along with Buffalo Springfield is what I cut several of my teeth on!
Best,
Howard
