For fans of acoustic music, a certain level of devotion to unmolested, unamplified sounds is expected from artists in the genre. Well, Raleigh, NC's Tennessee Jed has concocted a mindset and an album that will satisfy the purist's craving for earthy acoustic vibrations while also entertaining from a songwriting standpoint. There's even a warning on the inside of the CD, assuring the listener that no electric guitars were used in making it. That's devotion to the wood and wire, right there. Acoustica is a great title for this album, in the sense that it embodies a wide range of styles within the same medium.
