Maroon 5 - 1.22.03 Acoustic

Here to tide fans over until the next full-length Maroon 5 studio album comes out, 1.22.03 ACOUSTIC is a must-have for any fan of this exceptional band. With a bagful of awards, platinum sales and award nominations (including several Grammy Awards), Maroon 5 can claim to be one of the top rock bands of the moment.

Their debut, SONGS ABOUT JANE, has unleashed many chart-toppers all over the world, including right here in South Africa where the group is a favourite among rock fans of all ages.

And if SONGS ABOUT JANE established Maroon 5 as a bonafide success story, 1.22.03 ACOUSTIC builds on that with an album that combines the time-honoured pop music tradition of releasing live albums and EPs for fans.

In doing this, the recordings inject Maroon 5's songs with the earthiness and delicacy that only an acoustic version can give them.Traversing through the songs that have earned them fans in their millions, 1.22.03 ACOUSTIC shows up the great songcraft of Adam Levine and Jesse Carmichael.

Included on the album are five of the 12 tracks from SONGS ABOUT JANE, including the hits “This Love” and “Harder to Breathe”, plus covers of the Beatles' “If I Fell” and AC/DC's “Highway to Hell” (which is the only electric cut on the release).
