Acoustic Love

I am a HUGEEEE fan of acoustic music. When I say huge, I mean huge. I have many friends that play acoustic guitar, one of whom is trying to teach me to play. Not coming along that great, but oh well-haha. Anyway. I love acoustic versions of almost any song. Paramore's acoustics are incredible, as are Flyleaf's. The Scene Aesthetic, Spill Canvas and Starting Line do mostly acoustic stuff, which is why I love them too. There are a few artists that are particularly freaking awesome. First, John Mayer: many would say he is pretty much the modern-day king of acoustic guitar. I have an old friend that can't even get over himself whenever he goes to see him live. The man is extremely talented; I don't think anyone could forget, way back when, the first time they heard “Your Body is a Wonderland.” That song, to this day, is still one of my favorites. Anyway, enough about him. Colbie Caillat: yet again, another really really good artist that has been taken away by main-stream radio. I remember the days when Colbie was trying to reach number 1 on the unsigned artists list on MySpace. Now everybody knows her name and she's all over the radio. Well, she's not as bad as some other bands and artists that have sold out, but I still don't like it. Her music is still awesome-My favorite by her is “Realize.” Possibly my very favorite acoustic artist is Dallas Green, aka “City and Colour.” Like I've said before, this artist was introduced to me by an old friend, who I still think of every time I hear his music. Not only is his talent on guitar amazing, his voice is absolutely indescribable. There really is no way to describe this music unless you listen to it. You'll probably find more under the name City & Colour. I recommend “Hello, I'm in Delaware,” “I'm Comin' Home” and “The Girl.”
