Ahh Mister Legg... Messers Gomm and Harper both owe him a little something due to their use of tuning peg bends.

Check out Jon Gomm's 'Temporary' lovely song otherwise notable for double tuning peg bends in harmony (and using harmonics at the same time!!!). That guy just likes to make things difficult for himself...

Oooh yeah! I'm firmly planted in the Elliott Smith, Nick Drake and Janis Joplin camp. I might be abnormally attracted to tragedy (yes that was an attempt at a Tori Amos hint)

But since I just listened to it, I'll post Lykke Li – Dance Dance Dance, she's wonderful, if not strictly acoustic.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Live at Luther College by Dave Matthews Band yet... The best live acoustic album I heard in a long time. Also, Clapton's Unplugged is a masterpiece.

My desert island disc, by the way. Discovered Ray when he first released "Trouble" in 2004... I seriously haven't been the same since.
