Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..


I would love to find an excellent recording of acoustic guitar. I'm looking for one that is more towards the genre of pop/rock or country than towards classical. Something upbeat would be great. I don't mind if there are vocals, but my main focus hear is on acoustic guitar. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Lots of good ideas above. But I don't see Norman Blake. "Whiskey for Breakfast" is especially good for focusing on guitar.
You should try a search on "acoustic guitar" here as this question has been asked before. I'll add Rory Block (pretty much anything - When a Woman gets the Blues is great), Tim Reynolds and Dave Matthews if you like Dave - there's a great live album at a Luther College, Gillian Welch on the country side (her guitar accompaniast David Rawlings is fantastic), Patty Larkin has some great rifs on Agogo.

Pat Metheny and John Scofield "I Can See Your House from Here" track 5 "message to a friend" excellent recording indeed

Ahh, good thread I'm taking notes.

One guitarist I can contribute to this is one of my favorite accoustic players albeit not well known. His name is Robby Longley who's originally from New Orleans but now resides in Los Angeles.

Growing up in New Orleans, he has an interesting style that is composed of different flavors like a good gumbo, but his main influence is Flamenco. I 've seen him perform live in my local Borders Bookstore about four times. He's a super nice guy and an incredible talent. Check out his album "Sanctuary" which features more acoustic compositions than his album Danza Mora. I like em both!
