Lately I've been listening to the soundtrack from Once, the Irish movie featuring Glen Hansard (from The Frames) and Marketa Irglova. A very simple and I think very well written song is "All the Way Down", just Glen and his beat up guitar.

I almost always a spartan-sounding recording, and have quite an archive of solo singers/guitarists. Using your criteria (usually with a band, but unplugged), I can't seem to top Bob Dylan (who never should have gone electric) or Springsteen's "Neb...
Did anyone say Will Ackerman?
Okay, someone finally mentioned Pierre Bensusan. If you ever get to see Steve Bell (a Canadian) live solo, he is one of those guys who make more music than most bands with just him and his guitar. Or in NZ, check out Mark Laurent. http://www.brend...
Agree Jim Croce and if you like Bert Jansch you surely like John Renbourn and Davy Graham? Martin Simpson's nod to Bob Dylan: Boots of Spanish Leather is fab. What about Tim Hardin 'Reason to Believe' and 'If I Were a Carpenter'? 'How can we hang ...
I think for me it has to be Simon and Garfunkel, I just had to learn Kathys Song, I had only been playing for about six months when someone gave me a Simon and Garfunkel greatest hits and Kathys Song was on it, I had it on vinly so I turned the sp...
There's a great Bert Jansch live album from the mid-70s, titled The River Sessions. Don't know about finding a CD copy, but you can download it from emusic.com. Great stuff, just guitar and vocal, lots of stuff from the LA Turnaround album, which ...

This is with the band and I'm sure it will be equally as good but different. Actually I have a couple of solo CDs his wife has done and one of them is really good in my opinion.

- I am a Dave Matthews fan and have been to MANY concerts. He is coming to a venue near me this summer but we haven't really talked about whether we are going to go or not. I believe they are also coming out with a new CD soon. Actually I would really love to see Dave and Tim Reynolds do their acoustic thing.
