A lot of rockers have done "Unplugged" recordings, quite often showing up as videos. One of the most interesting ones I've heard was Billy Idol doing "White Wedding" with just an acoustic guitar. It was pretty cool.

Pure Prarie League-Bustin' Out
David Bowie-Ziggy Stardust and as has been mentioned, playing an acoustic version of songs you usually hear electric brings a whole new dimension. Me and a friend have been working on Elvis Costello's "Miracle Man" and I have to admit, we tear it up.

Some of the MTV unplugged albums are pretty classic like Clapton and Nirvana!!

I would give a serious listen to the Avett Brothers. their new album "I and Love and You" is good, but their older stuff is amazing. Check them out on youtube.
Also, the Decemberists may be the most original and entertaining band playing right now. |

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioKodbNTljg 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 |
