Pure Acoustic [2006]

by Various Artists

Import-only stunning two CD collection of acoustic-based tracks from a wide array of excellent singer/songwriters and bands. 38 tracks total by artists such as Jack Johnson, Coldplay, James Blunt, R.E.M., John Lennon, KT Tunstall, Joss Stone, Radiohead, Ben Harper, Norah Jones, Keane, Snow Patrol, Blur, Corrine Bailey-Rae, Soundgarden, Jose Gonzales, Donovan Frankenreiter, Turin Brakes, Oasis and more. Perhaps not for the Heavy Metal-minded listener, but certainly a true gem for those that prefer their music lightly shaken, not stirred. Universal. 2006.
