Elliott Smith - Acoustic Versions, Volume 2, 1999

I've posted an album of Elliott Smith playing acoustic versions of some of his best songs, from 1996 to 1998. This is the second album in that series, just covering the year 1999.

Smith didn't release a studio album in 1999. But that was the year after his album "XO," and the year before his album "Figure 8." This album mostly contains acoustic versions of songs from those two albums. This first six songs come from an performance at a Seattle radio station. The rest are from concerts, but with the audience noise removed. However, these aren't from iffy sounding audience bootlegs. The sound quality is excellent throughout, probably all from soundboard recordings.

As with the previous volume in this series, there are no cover versions here, because I'll be posting those on a separate album series.

02 Son of Sam (Elliott Smith)

For the cover art, I found the cover of an Elliott Smith bootleg that I liked. But I replaced the text in the lower half. I also swapped the photo in the middle to one of Smith in concert in 1999.
