Dave Grohl and company have released a 2 disc set. The first is electric, the second acoustic. The acoustic disc is far more interesting, featuring collaborations with Norah Jones, Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age. . Disc 1 is straight ahead alt rock, good but pretty much what you'd expect from the Foo Fighters.
