J Mascis - Live at CBGB's

Js first legendary stab at acoustic solo performance!




This album is frickin' sweet!  I can hear ACOUSTIC versions of some of my favorite songs ever!  'What Else is New' and 'Keeblin' are wicked on here (actually 'Keeblin' is already an acoustic tune, but it is still nice to have a live version!)




I actually think that Js voice is more suited to an acoustic atmosphere.  Dudes voice could never harsh someones mellow!  J just has that slacker drawl down!

Js songs hold up to being acoustic as well.  He doesn't really need that wall of sound noise rock to hide some alleged song writing deficiency.




Plus J should get some bonus points for putting on some experimental songs like 'Not the Same', 'Flying Cloud' and 'Throw Down' instead of taking the easy way out and reaching back into Dinosaur Jr.s back catalogue and picking some Alternative 'Hits' to play instead.
