My taste in acoustic guitar music developed during the 90’s. Before then, I was just your average headbanger who dabbled with everything else every now and then. But acoustic guitars seemed to have made a big comeback after a decade of dominance by the Jacksons and the Marshalls and the AquaNets. I used to acquire a new acoustic every couple of years. At one time I had six different ones. But I still have four left today, thank goodness.
One of the groups I had always admired that played acoustic music was the Indigo Girls. I remember gigging at coffee houses around Venice Beach in California and playing a set of their tunes. Something about their music always grabbed my attention. They’re very simple yet deeply poetic and emotional. They sound very personal and close to the heart. One song I’ll never forget is Closer to Fine. It’s one of my favorite acoustic songs of all time. When you listen to it, it feels like the words and melodies/harmonies transform into oil on canvas. Like it’s painting the song, and you can hear every brushstroke. Weird, I know. I just don’t know how else to describe it.
Oh one of my favourite songs of all time….
I misread and thought you said, giggling instead of gigging, I don’t recall anyone using that word, gigging, how odd some words can be
I like the sound of the acoustic guitar as well, if I would to attempt at an instrument it would be my first choice
I sort of remember “Closer to fine”, I know of the Indigo Girls, I really like their take of “Midnight train to Georgia,” (the live version) somehow that always makes me nostalgia, though I have never been to Georgia, I don’t think I know what acoustic really means but I guess you can call this live version acoustic
Will you be talking about the current music you are listening to? I know you like rock. For me I am trying to post about more recent music but somehow always ended up talking about past music, I guess I just can’t digest newer music without comparing to the older ones
I did heard of gig, but never heard anyone say, gigging, which sort of sounds weird to me
anyway, I guess we have different taste, cause I never heard of Jackdaw4 or L.E.O., gonna have to check back your older posts
