Great Acoustic Guitar Recordings

I've got a Michael Hedges ("Aerial Boundaries") and diMeola/deLucia/McLaughlin CD ("Friday Night In San Francisco"), and I'm looking to expand my collection. I truly enjoy the latter CD. Hedges is a little theedy-weedy for me though Any other suggestions you guys can turn me on to? Hedges is a little boring for my taste. Something that kicks over something entirely sedate is what I'm after. Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for acoustic speed metal. ;) And try to hold off on the suggestions if there's singing involved. Other than that, hook me up with some new music to buy!

Joe Pass - unless you are allergic to real Jazz.

I'm sure any disc from Acoustic Alchemy would be a welcome addition to your collection. There early stuff is more mellow.Try "ARCANUM"(kind of a greatest hits disc) or "AGAINST THE GRAIN". No singing. High quality recording.

Try Norman Blake if you have some bluegrass/folk leanings.

Try 'UCROSS' by Dean Peer on CLASSIC RECORDS. Music direct still carries this out of print CDS. GORGEOUS Elecric BASS (not acoustic) GUITAR MUSIC PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY.

They may need be audiophile recordings, but if you want to hear incredible jazz guitar, pick up some Django Reinhardt recordings. His work with Stephane Grappelli in particular is noteworthy. I also second Redkiwi's recommendation of Joe Pass. He was remarkable. I have a lot of both of their works. Can't get too much.
