Have Guitar, Will Travel – (Mix theme: live and acoustic)

Heat of the Moment by John Wetton
I love this solo acoustic version. Wetton re-interprets the song with nice chords and a great vocal.

Go Insane by Lindsey Buckingham
Lindsey gives an outstanding acoustic performance of his early eighties hit. in typical Buckingham fashion, he builds the song up from a dark calm to an orgasmic scream-fest at the end.

Fall At Your Feet by Neil Finn
a perfectly crafted pop song that shines even more in Neil Finn’s live stripped down version.

Beloved Infidel by Todd Rundgren
Just Todd and his guitar. I love his vocal perfomance on this. simply mesmerizing.

Crying by KD Lang
KD Lang’s classic Roy Orbison cover.

So Young by The Corrs
listening to this always leaves me with a smile. a nice, sunny performance by the Corr sisters.

Diamond in the Rough by Shawn Colvin
here’s some classic Shawn Colvin. one can never have enough of Shawn Colvin!

You Might Think by The NEW Cars (rare acoustic performance)
dude? Todd Rundgren was in a Cars cover band?? no way!! :P

Apron Strings by Everything But The Girl
A wonderfully touching song performed without the cheesy 80′s synth pop arrangement of the original.

enjoy the tunes.
