Best "one-on-one" recordings... one voice and...

Philbrady - agree on the Colin Haye disc, it just stays and stays in my player sometimes, great songs, solid artist, good recording...

Is Michael Hedges just solo?, I know it sounds great

Diamonds and Rust is from "Diamonds and Rust" (A&M SP4527) released in 1975. However, this song is not a voice and single instrument recording. There is a full instrumental ensemble including an ARP synthesizer.

Joan Biaz - "Diamonds and Rust" (can't recall which old album this came from but this is definitely up there with the very best)

Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson

This is a slight cheat on the subject, but I find it an incredible recording:

Open Fire, Two Guitars - Johnny Mathis

I know this is an old post but I have been listening to Colin Haye for months and can't get it out of my head. He is the former singer from Men at Work in the 80's. I never cared for them then but this album is stuck on me. Just him and an acoustic guitar.

Eva Cassidy - "Tall Trees In Georgia"
Greg Lake - "Lucky Man" and "Still You Turn Me On" from "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends"

I mean one voice and one instrument.

Jesse Colin Young, Soul Of A City Boy.

Excuse me, But even though I learned math in the Detroit public school system but I am pretty sure that Joe and Ella is 2

Eva Cassidy " Fields of Gold " Is one of my favorites
