I had no idea this existed...
No, they recorded an album called "Something Else" featuring acoustic versions of old songs. Listen to the original and you can tell the acoustic vocal track is a lot more natural, less produced and her tone sounds more mature.Is that the same vocal track with different instrumental under it? From memory, she sounds exactly the same.
My god this is an all-timer.
It's a Beautiful Day - White Bird
KZOK is awesome. I actually first heard this song on one of NPR's music programs, but I mostly listened to KISW, back in the day (when it was still 100 FM). About 30 years ago, I reckon. I lived in Renton at the time, having just come over from Ireland. Since then I've lived all over Washington State (and the world), and currently reside in Skagit County (Mount Vernon). Where abouts are you?This is one of the many reasons I love this thread. I recognize this song, but I never would have been able to tell you who recorded it. The band name rings no bells for me whatsoever. Looking it up, I was surprised to learn it was written in my hometown of Seattle. Considering when it was released, I’m sure I probably heard the radio edit version on KJR, Seattle’s AM rock station at the time, or the full length version on KZOK, Seattle’s preeminent FM rock station. And yes, this is an amazing song.
I used to listen to KISW quite a bit as well. Now it’s almost exclusively KEXP (formerly KUOW, the radio station of the University of Washington.) I’m from Auburn, but am currently living in Renton.KZOK is awesome.

I used to live in Victoria Hills (up the hill from downtown Renton). A lot of good memories from that funny little town (that isn't so little anymore). I spent a lot of time at Gene Coulon Beach when I was in high school (Lindbergh High School), and picked up my first skateboard shop sponsor at Gravity Sports (oldest skate shop in Washington), downtown by the old Denny's. Such good times.I used to listen to KISW quite a bit as well. Now it’s almost exclusively KEXP (formerly KUOW, the radio station of the University of Washington.)
