The Gaslight Anthem-Acoustics 2011 Complilation CD [link removed]

[ADMIN: Although this forum is not connected with the band, we need to respect Brian's and SideOneDummy's wish that compilations of Gaslight Anthem material are not posted. In consequence, the link has been removed. Please don't repost the link. Thanks.

As Brian tweeted on 29 Sep. 2010: "I would appreciate that if anyone would like to compile free albums of work I've done that perhaps they would run this by me first."]

there’s always that one band who records acoustic renditions of their songs, but never puts together a proper album or collection of said songs. the gaslight anthem, particularly brian fallon, has never been one to shy away from the acoustic guitar and the somber voice approach to the gaslight anthem’s four-release discography. thankfully, i was there to pick up the pieces along the way and hoard these 17 acoustic songs over the years. last night, i got a little inspired to create some solid artwork (let’s face it, that shit looks awesome) and put together a neat mixtape/comp for all you gaslight fans out there. oh and for the record, the script font on the cover is called “jersey stories!” it couldn’t be more perfect if i tried. tracklisting below the jump. share with all your friends, start a campfire, bust out the whiskey and have a grand old time.

I love Brian, but I feel that his vocals are often kinda misplaced and insecure in acoustic sessions.

This is exactly how I feel. I love to hear Brian play acoustic, but sometimes he just sounds timid when he does and the vocals can suffer... if he went balls to the wall with his voice like when he sings with the band then he would sound SO good.

When did they play Old Haunts acoustic? Think I don't have that one yet

At least a couple occasions.

There's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO-LBl5knXs

And then there's the one from JBTV with Alex R. that sticks more to the original song. The leads sound really awesome acoustically.

The whole JBTV acoustic session is awesome. Gotta admit I'm a bit surprised to see that beautiful acoustic rendition of She Loves You from JBTV is left out of the above mentioned, but now banned, compilation.

Sorry--I was unaware of this compilation policy.

Thank you for informing me about it and for removing the link.

Even though the compilation is down, I'd still like to see the cover you made for it.

I did not make the cover for it.

I found it online.

Ah okay. I was mostly interested in the font.

Looks like you can get the font here: http://www.dafont.com/jersey-stories.font
