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.

james taylor james taylor james taylor(i love him a bit)

The Starsky and Hutch Theme Tune guy? I mean, I like it, but it's not exactly acoustic...

Chris Newman

He talks on this clip for almost three mins, but if you fast forward, you will hear some very nice playing.

nooooo.this lovely man

here's another clip from goodness knows how many years ago!

Thanks for those clips - I'm off to bed now but will listen tomorrow.

All the acoustic guitar on Eva Cassidy tracks are to die for. songbird
fields of gold
time after time

Richard Thompson, esp if you like english folky stuff.

whoever suggested sufjan stevens, very good choice.

i'd add iron&wine, lenard cohen, john cale to that list.

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago.
Really beautiful stuff.

iron and wine, lovely stuff, yes.

Orange Juice, classical acounstic? Are they?

d'ya like devendra banhart?

I do !

Any recommendations for particular Devandra tracks?

Pointy, I was making a lame joke about the Concierto de Aranjuez, which is a famous classical guitar thing. (I do like Orange Juice though.)

Sorry, meant to say will listen to all the links later when DP cedes control of the laptop.

ds loves this one little yellow spider let us know which clips you like !

Tim Hardin

Oh goodness. Acoustic guitar music? NO WONDER you sit in the middle lane of the motorway wearing your slippers whilst smoking a pipe (with a cushion on your back parcel shelf I'll wager).

Here. This should blow the cobwebs off.

LOL winey, you beast. I do listen to loud music sometimes, but am feeling a bit doleful at the moment and want something to suit my mood... I've even been driving in the inside lane...

I wonder if you'd like Rodrigo y Gabriela. No whiny vocals here!

OOoh yes, that's FANTASTIC marina. Thanks.

Winey, I had to turn that off . Is this what traffic experts listen to at work? It would explain a thing or two about the Kingston one-way system.

Devendra - I love the instrumentation and arrangements but not keen on the vocals.

Can anyone suggest particular tracks for Iron and Wine, Richard Thomson, Tim Hedrin?

I am already on to Guillemots, but thanks . I can't listen to 'Field of Gold', it makes me sob. James Taylor - ah yes, that one - again, I'm not too keen on his voice (God I'm picky). I do like Carole King if that helps?

Declan O'Rourke reminded me of 'Forever and Ever' by Julio Iglesias (in a good way).

Chris Newman was great - any particular albums mawbroon?

Know what you mean Wonk.

If I am feeling particularly introspective I listen to Kate Bush, but she doesn't fit your bill, and neither do any of the acoustic metal tracks I know and love. Ella Fitzgerald is my biggest indulgence. Shame you didn't have an inkling for sombre jazz vocal.. could have helped you there!

Wine - haven't forgotten about our proposed walk, things have been really messy here but I'm still lurking

X-posts!

I listen to it on the way to work... but only if Terry Wogan isn;t doing the Radio 2 breakfast show. It's probably the drugs I take that make me come up with Kingston One-Way Systems
