Looking for tracks of acoustic sets - acoustic guitar, bass, and percussions.

My band will be doing acoustic versions for some of our songs and is looking for acoustic tracks to listen to get our brain juices flowing. We have two acoustic guitars, bass, and I'll be handling percussion (no drumset). I would like some recommendations of good acoustic tracks with similar setup that I can check out to get some inspiration on arrangements. Song can be any genre. The more diverse the better so we can find different ways to twist our own songs.

Thanks!

Can't you listen to virtually any MTV Unplugged cd? That's the whole format - artists playing their own songs acoustically. Since you aren't restricted by format then you might want to check out Alice In Chains based on your available instruments.

Kings of Convenience have two CDs full of songs arranged mainly for two acoustic guitars, with a few embellishments (bass, percussion, piano) in some cases.

Also check out David Poe's "Love is Red"... he sings many of the songs in this streaming performance. If I remember right, the album features acoustic bass (upright) on several tracks.
