Ryan Adams' "Heartbreaker" is probably my favourite acoustic album.

Here is one of my favourites off that album:

When he sings, "I'm not the fellowwwww...", I almost faint...

Year-2 ago I found at random these acoustic songs & liked:

Flight of the Conchords - If You're into It (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRJZfwDgNTM)
Linda Perhacs - Call of the River (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FzsY7AXEBQ)
Linda Perhacs - Sandy Toes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVasnxWNcjU)

Her album "Parallelograms" is worth checking out. She released it in 1970, but it didn't do well. Few decades later it gets sudden chic & she now is a big deal (all that time she's been a dentist, still is). I think she has pleasant voice & some of tracks sound interesting.

Full album:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXBd-SjQxpQ

Along with stidio cats, Linda added some touches/fx & there are moments when you can hear trombone, f.inst. Still, it's done with guitar, mainly.

Sad to say, John Renbourn died yesterday. R.I.P., sir.
