This album/CD sounds great but you have to like Clapton. I'm trying but it ain't working

How about some bluegrass? Tony Williamson "Still Light of the Evening" from Mapleshade Records is a great sounding "acoustical" album.

Why listen to a "high fidelity" acoustic album when you could listen to Pink Moon by Nick Drake?

Folk music sounds so much more natural when it's not overproduced.

I'd have to say that The Esher Demos are required listening.

Id second Michael Hedges but I feel that there is a lot of variation in the quality of his albums. Aerial Boundaries is definitely good.

Paco De Lucia is awesome but some of his stuff isn't really recorded that well IMHO. Its all sortof raw which is good in that it wasn't messed with but there is sometimes static in the background etc.

There is also:
Willie and Lobo :guitar and fiddle duo. Awesome.

Pierre Bensusan (Not sure if this was metioned above) Check out Intuite especially. This guy is a real virtuoso on a guitar. Unbelievable.

I would also definitely second the recommendation for Al Dimeola. There is a compilation of his acoustic stuff called Accoustic Anthologies I think. Its one of the first things I turn to when I'm first listening to some new piece of gear I've purchased because I like it so much and can never wait to hear it from a new 'angle'.

Sanjay Mishra

is an indian artist, and actually plays guitar, but you would never know it, he's so fast. He plays a sort of Raga with jazz and blues twist. Very nice. Listen to track 3 from his album "blue incantation". Absolutely beautiful.

it's kind of a cheezy video, because it shows him playing live, but the music is just off his album. but you get the idea.

"Blue Country Heart," by Jorma Kaukonen. Wonderful album, as are many suggestions in this thread. I have a number of the mentioned albums and love them.

When you're typing a message, if you look right above the text box, you'll see an icon that says youTube. Click it and drop the video link in between the [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] boxes.

Nice call on Sanjay Mishra, I might add!

 

[Chingyul]

Yay, this was the topic I came here looking for.
I'll have to check some of the recommendations out.

Any suggestions on piano acoustic albums?

Oh, I'd suggest Bon Iver. Just picked that one up, and quite like it.
Suggestions for something similar?

Thank you.



Whoops, didn't mean to bump this. But yeah.

Antoine Dufour is pretty good as well.
