CD Description
Much like Jimi Hendrix and 2Pac, Sublime's Bradley Nowell has taken on a second life thanks to a number of posthumous releases. Thankfully, the people left to preserve his legacy have taken great lengths to ensure his memory hasn't been tarnished by any slapped-together releases. ACOUSTIC offers a more gentle insight into a performer known for an often outrageous and untamed punk persona.
Recorded between 1991 and 1995 in sites ranging from a friend's sewing room to assorted clubs, this collection reveals Sublime's former leader to be a lover of blues ("Don't Push"), Camper Van Beethoven ("Eye Of Fatima") and X (an all-too short "It's Who You Know".) In addition to Sublime's better-known songs ("Wrong Way","KRS-One"), Nowell's performances also reflect his affinityfor reggae whether it's a Marley medley of "Guava Jelly" and "This Train", or an effective cover of the Melodian's classic "Rivers Of Babylon", complete with a xylophone solo by Sublime bassist Eric Wilson.
Customer Reviews
By far the best Sublime work ever.
This album is the essential Subilme album. Not only is it Bradley & Co. at their best but it shows the passion that Brad had for love, life, and music. You can feel what he feels when listening to the live renditions. It is just Brad stripped down to his soul. If I could only have one Sublime album, this would be it.
In a word - Rubbish. 
With a CD like this the inevitable question has to be, why? Why press into a CD a collection of songs containing mainly tracks recorded over a room full of people talking? It seems like Nowell is actually getting in the way of people's conversations in a bar and that for all they care the music is coming from a slightly harsh sounding Jukebox in the corner. Nobody appears to be even aware that he is even there.
The rest of the tracks are the type you would expect as fillers between actual songs on a decent album, here they are the album!
Strictly for the undiscerning.
