I'm looking for albums or EPs that are only acoustic guitar and a man or woman singing. The occasional other instrument is ok. Examples: Denison Witmer - Safe Away (and his debut cassette) Paul Simon - The Paul Simon Songbook José Gonzalez - Veneer This guy A plus is if they are easy to find in dollar bins. Another plus is if they have free records on bandcamp. Thank you.

Chris Staples (Twothirtyeight, Discover America) has released a comp called After The Beep: A Compilation Recorded on Phones. It's completely free and includes songs from Staples, Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra, RAGC!), Denison Witmer, Telekenesis and more. Staples' song, Cindy, Diana, Janet, Wanda is also available on the American Soft vinyl we released earlier this year. Here's a short description of the idea... I've been thinking, if a song is great you could record it on a walkman, or whatever is laying around and the soul of that great song will be communicated. It doesn't matter what kind of paper a great book is printed on as long as you can read it. Thats the analogy I always use. Anyway, all these songs were recorded on cell phones and nothing else. I have many very talented musicmaker friends, so thanks to them for participating. Please share with your friends and thanks for stopping by! Also, special thanks to Dog On Fire for making the artwork. It's at least worth checking out cause it's free! http://chrisstaples.bandcamp.com/album/after-the-beep-a-compilation-recorded-on-phones
