The best acoustic guitar recordings??

Please try the album "Tasty" by Buddy Fite

"Some of the Dick's Picks live Greatful Dead recordings feature wonderful playing and certainly have their following"

Good point. Garcia was a fine acoustic guitarist. Most re-mastered Dead CDs I've heard sound pretty good. "American Beauty" and "Ripple" specifically, is the classic place to start for someone new to the many acoustic ensemble works by the Dead.

Lots of acoustic guitar in all of Nick Drake's stuff, along with the melancholic vocals.

Good call Soulbrass, Nils Lofgren live is fantastic. It is out of print.
If you can find one snatch it up. Check out song " Keith don't go "
Great guitar work. You can also go to You Tube and you will find
a great video of " Keith don't go "
Joe

Mattybumpkin, I saw Kelly Joe warm up Lucinda Williams at a small club here in Portland last fall. He then joined the band for a few numbers, switching from acousitic to electric guitar. This guy absolutely shreads.
