Calling all acoustic guitar fans...


I've always liked the sound of acoustic guitar on my system. Currently in heavy rotation in my system now:
1. Sounds of Wood and Steel #2 (Windham Hill)
2. Sounds of Wood & Steel #3 (Windham Hill)
3. Eric Clapton Unplugged
4. Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds (live extra disc in Some Devil CD)

I'm looking for direction from you guys on other well recorded selections, let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Jim

If you liked Matthews and Reynolds on the bonus CD, there is a Live 2-CD set of the two of them doing an acoustic concert at Luther College that is one of the most outstanding live-performance CD's out there.

I love acoustic guitar. Here are just a few suggestions without benefit of having read all the responses here (so pardon the redundancies):

Rory Block, "When a Woman gets the Blues" (many of her others are quite wonderful too)
Patty Larkin, "A Go-Go"
Patty Griffen, "Living with Ghosts" & "1000 Kisses"
"The Slide Guitar: Bottles, Knives and Steel" (part of the excellent "Roots&Blues" collection)
Definitely Muddy Waters Folk Singer
If you like acoustic Jazz guitar this one is a truly astounding recording that was on Stereophiles Recordings to Die-For list. It has a very improvisational sound to it.....not for everyone I'd imagine: Marc Ducret, "Detail"
