Recommend some acoustic guitar stuff for me, please

[policywonk]

I was listening to 'Way to Blue' in the car today, and thinking: I love the acoustic guitar, and I love the English-folky vibe. But I farking hate Nick Drake's voice so it spoils it a bit.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Also classical acoustic guitar stuff, like the Orange Joooooth thingy.

I theng yew.

scott matthews?

Thank you both. I've never tried Jeff Buckley - is he Song to the Siren guy or Hellelujah guy?

I will check out YouTube links later when I'm on the laptop (which has a sound card on it).

jose gonzales ?

Jeff Buckley sung Halleluja yes, but it's not his song.

How about Bon Iver?

Boo Hewerdine...

Jeff Buckley - Grace

boo hewerdine

would Rufus Wainwright interest you?

Ok, I know it's not actually acoustic guitar, but how about some Sufjan Stevens?

tsk, try againmartin stephenson

I c'n play House of the Rising Sun

If you want classical - i love John Williams playing Rodrigo's guitar concerto

Stephen Fretwell? Not all acousticy butv good (saw him live a few years ago)

Jack Johnson? Jose Gonzalez? Newton Faulkner?

Jack Johnson? yes that's nice an acoustic. A bit drab for my liking, but nice voice, catchy

Jack Johnson's a bit MOR for me. Ditto Newton F and James M.

(Dissing people's suggestions feels very rude doesn't it?)

stephen fretwell

good good policy, so you want something as bit more talented yes? I agree

has no one mentioned ben harper yet?

Ben Harper. This song is from my dark low days

Right then, I really like the Scott Matthews and the Martin Stephenson. Boo Hewerdine and Bon Iver were good too. Any recommendations for albums from these?

I think I'm after mournful rather than upbeat.

Thanks also for the John Williams link. What's like that?

scott matthews' only album so far is "Passing Strangers"

maybe also declan o'rourke if you don't mind a little schmaltz?

Thanks PW

Fab pic on your profile btw.
