Live Acoustic America is an acoustic live album by Howard Jones, released in 1996. It was recorded in 1992 in Los Angeles to a sell-out crowd as part of his acoustic tour which travelled the world, with Jones playing venues in Europe, the USA and Jamaica. The tour accompanied the release of the piano-based album In the Running and featured pared-back versions of his hits, album tracks, and the Beatles cover "Come Together". It features Carol Steele on percussion.
