Acoustic Kitty is the debut solo album by Canadian singer-songwriter John Mann, the lead singer of Spirit of the West.[1] It was released in 2002 on Nettwerk.[2]
Mann's supporting band for the album consisted of Doug Elliott, Ford Pier and Michael Phillip Wojewoda. Wojewoda also produced the album.[3]
The album's title track is inspired by the CIA's Acoustic Kitty espionage project of the 1960s, in which surveillance microphones were implanted into a cat.
Mann garnered two Western Canadian Music Award nominations for the album, in the categories of Outstanding Songwriter and Entertainer of the Year.[4] At the Juno Awards of 2003, the album garnered a nomination for Album Art of the Year, for designer John Rummen.
