Definition of "Acoustic."

For starters, I would like to keep the number of titles that will be posted here limited to only those that were primarily recorded with acoustic instruments, such as acoustic guitars, natural sounding pianos, strings and other orchestral instruments, and of course, vocals, with the sole exception of the bass (since it's becoming more and more difficult to distinguish the sound of an electric bass from an acoustic bass), even if it's quite obvious that an electric bass has been used.

There will be a section entitled "Almost Acoustic" where an otherwise basically acoustic song will feature electronic drum loops or perhaps an occasional soft synth pad, etc.

All in all, the different categories will be:

1.) Acoustic Oldies - The best acoustic hits from the 60s through the 90s

2.) My Favorite Acoustic Songs - The best acoustic songs ever, according to my list

3.) My Favorite Acoustic Acts - Bands and Songwriters I like that have produced more than just a handful of acoustic songs

4.) Great Acoustic Versions - Great acoustic versions of big contemporary songs (there will be separately featured acoustic versions in the "Oldies" section.

5.) Almost Acoustic (As mentioned above)

6.) Great Acoustic Albums (Self-explanatory, I presume)

7.) Christian Acoustic (As a Christian, one of my main interests in creating this blog is to share with the world some of the best Christian acoustic songs and recordings that I listen to)

8.) Country - As a formerly active member of the international Country music scene I know that country music holds a lot of pleasant surprises for acoustic music lovers. Be ready to get rid of any prejudices!

9.) Acoustic Specials - Acoustic songs that wouldn't necessary rank among my favorites, but nonetheless noteworthy

10.) Infamous - Songs I wouldn't necessarily recommend but would have to be listed here in order to avoid offending .the fanatic acoustic freak.


Other sections might be added as the projects progresses or simply as defined by the labels assigned to the individual posts (such as "Folk," "Folk-Rock," "Acoustic Pop," "Acoustic Rock," etc).
Feel free to comment or write me about any acoustic song you would figure I must have forgotten or left out. My second purpose in creating this blog is to find others on a similar musical wavelength as mine, who might share some of the gems that I haven't found yet...
