Description

2008 two CD set, the third installment in this popular series of compilations that lifts tracks from the popular BBC Radio One show Live Lounge. Volume Three promises to be even stronger than the first two and will build on the success, and the word-of-mouth from the first Live Lounge collections. The album is made up of tracks from Jo Whiley’s lunchtime show (five million listeners) where bands performed their own track, or a cover version. The tracks are live and stripped down, showing the true quality of the musicianship and craft of the song. The album is a combination of alternative versions of band classics plus unique cover versions recorded live in BBC Maida Vale. Includes cuts from Duffy, Pigeon Detectives, McFly, the Ting Tings, Sam Sparro, the Kooks, the Streets, Elbow, Scouting for Girls, Adele and many others. 40 tracks. Sony/BMG.
