I normally wouldn't bother to write a review for an album, because it would be totally subjective and biased by my own personal taste in music. But I have to say that this must be the greatest compilation album ever made. There is at least one song for everyone on here, from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Soul Asylum to Annie Lennox to Elton John. I love every track. I have been listening to this CD for over 15 years and I still keep coming back to it. Some of these unplugged performances are one of a kind that you won't find anywhere else. Highly recommended.

One of the finest compilation discs ever assembled

A real enjoyable collection of tracks, many of which make you wonder about those acts which have been chosen for the entire unplugged CD routine. Neil Young, Eric Clapton, 10000 Maniacs, Bob Dylan, Tony Bennett, and Nirvana were all deserving. But Babyface? Mariah Carey? Maxwell???? Thankfully, at least they don't appear on this collection. Few of those appearing here don't belong. (I have to wonder why Dylan, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Bennett were not included though!) A note to MTV....time for a second "Collection" as well as full unplugged CD's by Tori Amos and Stevie Ray Vaughn!!!!

I just want to know why MTV would hold back these live unplugged jams of Stevie Ray Vaughan playing a 12 string? .....wish they would come out with a video or just the SRV songs on a disk....I bet thay would make alot of money off it.
