Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..

o Chris Issak - San Francisco Days,

o Johannes Linstead - Guitarra del fuego. Spanish-like guitar, warm and well recorded.

o William Ackerman - Past Light , instrumental (early digital, very steel string and one of my all time favorites(at times mezmorizing).

o Mary Chapin Carpenter - C'mon C'mon - (the fast songs are country (I never listen to those), but the other half are songs are more folk and storyteller style, excellent recording).

Jack Johnson is primarily acoustic guitar w/vocals. The Pizza Tapes with Garcia, Grisman, and Rice is a favorite of mine.

Antonio Forcionni on the NAIM lable

Another vote for Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. Ackerman is OK, but bores me for some reason (the George Winston of guitar?)....

For something out of the mainstream, John McLaughlin has some incredible acoustic recordings.

Cpdunn99, I would agree with you about your comments on Ackerman. Except for his Past Light cd. Perhaps I'm biased but it is rather interesting and quite un-George Winston like. :)

-IMO
