I saw this this morning, and it made me think of all of the cool acoustic performances I've heard over the years. We're used to hearing our favorite songs with full bands, electric guitars, etc... but some of the best performances are when the songs are stripped back to their original forms. Here are a few of my favorites,,,

1. Howard Jones- "No One Is To Blame"

Nice Rick-Roll!

What I'm posting seems very appropriate, since I just saw a Los Lonely Boys concert a week ago. Good stuff!
What's curiously missing from the band is keys.
These guys are just a huge talent with superb harmonies.

LLB - Stayin with me
