Synopsis

Product Description

Through his two-decade stint as singer, guitarist and principal songwriter of The Jayhawks, and as a member of alt-supergroup Golden Smog, Gary Louris built a deeply compelling body of music whose artistry and integrity has earned him a loyal audience and the respect of critics and his peers.

Acoustic Vagabonds is the companion piece to the critically acclaimed solo debut by Louris, Vagabonds. Produced by Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes, the CD features stripped down, more intimate versions of six standout tracks from Vagabonds.

CD Reviews

Acoustic companion to one of 2008's best albums

Rupe33 | Takoma Park, Maryland, USA | 10/21/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Gary Louris' "Acoustic Vagabonds" was previously made available as a bonus CD from certain retailers when "Vagabonds" was released. This disc is like being at a quiet in-store appearance with Gary, featuring acoustic arrangements of tracks from that record.

This version of the title track alone is worth the price of this disc. Hearing the songs performed with stripped-down acoustic instrumentation still reveals how strong this work is. If you're a Jayhawks/Gary/Golden Smog fan, this is a worthy addition to your collection."

Makes you appreciate the album even more

"I note that Gary's website offers this along with the album in a package deal, and to me, that is the way to best enjoy this release. While it contains the same vocal tracks used on the album, just with the session musicians stripped away leaving Gary and his guitar and harp, it reveals the songs in a way that makes them resonate even more when you go back to the album versions. You can appreciate Chris Robinson's approach to producing the album so much more when you realize how carefully he built the sounds around the songs without taking the songs into another context.

Worth every penny."
