Acoustic Albums

[cheechonaleash]

Good morning folks. I'm interested in hearing more acoustic albums done by bands who are typically of a heavier sound.

For instance:
Ulver - Kveldssanger
Opeth - Damnation
Green Carnation - Acoustic Verses
Borknagar - Origin

Does anyone know of any albums in the vein of the aforementioned ones that are worthy of a listen?

Thanks for your help!

empyrium - where at night the woodgrouse plays.

 

[Punk Vic]

Drudkh - "Songs of Grief and Solitude"

It's not exactly a heavy band doing an acoustic album, but check out:
Don Ross - Passion Session

It's some of the best instrumental acoustic work I've ever heard. I was listening to it when I first saw the thread.

 

[cheechonaleash]

Excellent fellas, thanks for your input. Muchly appreciated.

October Falls: all material.

Agalloch's The Mantle is almost all acoustic, with the exception of 2 songs.

 

[AshDLS]

Ah, er, no...? Most of the songs on The Mantle have electric guitar. I think it's just the last track that is purely acoustic.

why does it have to be by a band that normally plays heavy material? acoustic music is acoustic music.

if you haven't head 6 and 12-string guitar by leo kottke, you really really should. the man is a master

 

[King Richard]

What about Nick Drake? His songs are all acoustic and better than anything listed.

Doesn't necessarily have to be by a band who normally plays heavy material. That's just what I've found myself listening to a fair bit, lately.

Actually, to tell you the truth, I've been getting into Dustin Kensrue's album, Please Come Home. For those unfamiliar, Dustin is better known as the singer from Punk/Emo band Thrice.

Alice in Chains: Sap

JAR OF FLIES!! fukcing ace

 

[Splintered Vision]

Anything by José González.

Agreed..... a fantastic record. I almost put both but thought I'd get my balls busted for it not being as "acoustic"... but whatever.... good call Don.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Indeed.

Hum, Tommy Emmanuel has pretty cool songs. Linda Perhacs? And if you haven't already, check out some Jethro Tull gems (they don't have all-acoustic albums I believe), like Requiem, Wond'ring Aloud, Reasons For Waiting, etc. Beautiful songs.

Maybe Nest and Tenhi too.
