Best acoustical guitar - any type music

Off the top of my head.......

Toniho Horta, "Durango Kid II", brilliant brazillian player with vocals

Kelly Joe Phelps, "Shined Eyed Mr. Zen" a great slide player - not playing slide on this disk.

Ani Difranco, "Revelling\Reckoning" (the new one), she comes at the guitar with her own set of rules: percussive, alternate tunings, not to bring attention to the guitar playing but to complement the great songs. Stellar recording as a bonus!

sorry, should be "toninho" above.

Just got Ralph Toweners ' Anthem' on ECM label. Classical Guitar ( not classical music) and 12 string guitar compositions. Great music, great playing and an exellent recording. Highly recommended.

one of my most played cd's is stephen stills, "stills alone." the last track, "treetop flyer," is an extraordinary performance, vocally and instrumentally. stephen was and is a great guitarist, especially on acoustics. -kelly

i can't help mentioning tom waits the early years vol. 2 (occasionally off-key, out of time, skipped notes: near sublime!) and Steve Forbert (especially his first LP 'alive on arrival' - not all are just acoustic only but some are and the songwriting is some of the best there is) and tracy chapman of course (first effort), chris smither "live as I'll ever be" (great song writing as well), of course neil young and CSNY various and cat power! oh yeah, duh. various dead.

thanks for reading. comments on these suggestions much appreciated.
