Crowded House - Acoustic Radio Sessions, Volume 2: 1991-1994

I recently posted "Acoustic Radio Sessions, Volume 1" by Crowded House, and this one picks up right where that one left off. Like that one, these are generally full band performances, but they're done with all acoustic instruments. And like that one, all the performances here are unreleased, and come from in-person radio station appearances.

The first three songs are from 1991, the next three are from 1993, and the rest are from 1994. That roughly corresponds to the time the band was together, until reunions over a decade later. The songs here go through April 1994, and that month is when drummer Paul Hester quit the band. They played some concerts after that, with a final concert in 1996, but they didn't put out any more studio albums. So between this volume and the previous one, pretty much all the best known songs from the band's first era are included.

The sound quality is generally excellent. Three of the songs, tracks 8, 9, and 10, were played in front of a small audience, but that didn't overlap the music much. In case you're curious about the BBC, like I am, tracks 4 through 8 were done for a BBC radio show.

Thanks again to the person who sent me all this music a while back. Sorry it took so long for me to get around to posting it.

This album is 44 minutes long.

I wanted to use a photo of Crowded House playing acoustic instruments from this era. I couldn't find a good one though, so I went with a publicity photo from 1991 instead.

  1. Thank you for posting this (and others, too.) I adore Neil Finn's voice and songs, and they're even more beautiful acoustically.

    1. Funny you should say that now, because I'm planning on posting more acoustic Neil Finn in the next few days.
