Acoustic Root Ingredients
The guiding principle of Three Ingredients or Less is to have no more than three elements on any given track. One of our favorite ways to showcase this approach is with Acoustic Root Ingredients — impactful music focused on natural, simple, minimal instrumentation.
Whether it be a fishing show needing flavors of bluegrass, Americana for outdoor or travel-based reality TV, or acoustic guitars to soften a pharmaceutical ad, the practical opportunities for acoustic underscores are bountiful.

reflective, acoustic, refreshing, nature
Tasting Notes: Calming, Sentimental, Playful, Acoustic Folk

Roots Cellar (3ING-045)
rustic, homespun, Americana, twang
Tasting Notes Soulful, Rustic, Raw, Bluesy
Our Summary: From family crab bakes to hard labor on the railroad, this record uses the twang of dobro with handclaps and stomps to accompany all walks of life in the age of western expansion or just simple small town livin’. Features non-lyrical vocalizations and stark arrangements.
Sunny Side Up vol. 3 (3ING-055)
cheerful, acoustic, sunny, optimistic
Tasting Notes: Active, Smiling, Refreshing, Genuine
Our Summary: Earnest and flowing with positive energy, the acoustic melodies stay grounded, steering clear of the saccharine. Slight percussion accents the sunny arrangements, keeping a clean, shiny, and upbeat sound throughout.
