JANE WIEDLIN: The Acoustic Album Sessions

JANE WIEDLIN The Acoustic Album Sessions

The first eight tracks here are from the so-called 'Acoustic Album' by Jane Wiedlin, songs that were recorded for reasons unknown by the Go-Go songwriter/guitarist sometime in the early nineties. It's possible that they were recorded during the same sessions that yielded her acoustic rendition of "Our Lips Are Sealed" that appeared on her 1993 retrospective "From Cool Places to Worlds On Fire: The Very Best Of Jane Wiedlin", however the origins of the recordings for now remain unknown.

Along with the eight mysterious 'acoustic album' tracks, i've added in some other 'acoustic' or 'stripped' down versions of songs by Jane herself solo, her mid-nineties band froSTed or with the Go-Go's. See below for tracks and notes on each (To sample some of the songs in the collection, check out the YouTube playlist directly below.).
