I run a site called INTIMATE AUDIO, which has just issued its first CD, INTERPRETATIONS:
http://www.intimateaudio.com/interpretations.html
The disc opens with “Bohemian Rhapsody”—the WHOLE thing, played "live" with only acoustic guitar & voice, including the "Galiileo" section!! (Soundclips are at link above)
As for the rest of the disc, fans of Queen, Beach Boys, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and John Frusciante's solo material (among others) might enjoy it. It's all covers (licensed properly), recorded "live" in my home studio (playing and singing at the same time). Some of them are pretty crazy! And funny! And serious!
Here's the complete songlist, FYI:
1. “Bohemian Rhapsody” 6:03
2. “God Only Knows” 2:39
3. “Blackbird” 2:28
4. “Sweet Baby James” 3:52
5. “Hallelujah” 6:28
6. “She’s Always a Woman” 3:08
7. “Leader of the Band” 4:17
8. “Sister Golden Hair” 2:53
9. “Castles Made of Sand” 3:12
10. “Coconut” 3:44
Total playing time: 39:03

Thanks for taking the time to read this (and hopefully laugh over some of them soundclips)!! Any feedback is appreciated!!!!!!
