Disco de Dishwalla: “Counting Blue Cars”

The accoustic version of "Counting Blue Cars" is amazing, a big improvement over the original. The accoustic song is worth getting the CD for but I'm sure you will like the two additional songs, "Other Side of the World" and "Until I Wake Up".

While I was waiting for the 'N' train at the subway station in Times Square, Manhattan, a street performer pulled out his guitar and performed an accoustic version of "Counting Blue Cars." This was the first time I heard the song in this version and he performed solo.

The accoustics of the subway station was phenomenal and added to the effect of this song. Everytime I hear this rendition, it evokes fond memories. To date, it is the best free concert I've listened to.

THIS is where you can get the ONLY live acoustic version of Counting Blue Cars. A must for collectors. 5 stars.

Unlike the CD single, which has the LP version as the lead track, the cassette single lists Side A as the LP version but it is really an edit of the LP version. It just cuts some of the intro, guitar solo and ending, but retains the song's pretty melody.
