It's got to be Nick Drake.

It's a 'new' song from his 2nd album, which is out in early December. I say 'new' because he's been playing it live for a couple of years now.

His first album is mostly a technical guitar show, with a few great songs on it. For the new one, I think his songwriting's just about consistently caught up with his guitar playing. Some great songs on there.

If anyone picked up the Big Star Box Set, it is filled with some very well recorded/ restored acoustic demos.

Plenty of good stuff already brought to your plate. Just let me add one.

Portugal. The Man - The Majestic Majesty

It's their acoustic rendering of their latest album "The Satanic Satanist" (nothing satanic about them though

) and is only available through download on their website for 6$: The Majestic Majesty : Portugal. The Man

PS: the band has nothing against you downloading it "somewhere" for free in order to try it (easy to find). But if you get it and like it, spread the love and support them : The Leak. The Response. The Review. | Portugal. The Man

A few of my favorites are

any Nick Drake album
Neil Young `Live at Massey Hall 1971`
Bon Iver `For Emma, Forever Ago` (Not pure acoustic, but still an amazing album)
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds `Live at Luther`
Debashish Bhattacharya `Hindustani Slide Guitar` (Not exactly the same genre as the others, but acoustic none the less)

Really unorthodox guitar playing, but a very nice listen. Thanks.

KT Tunstall. Some of it is more like pop, but a good portion is towards the acoustic side of things. These are two of my favourites.

Martha Wainwright-Martha Wainwright- Bloody Motherf****ing A**hole. Great album, and this song still hits all the right spots for me (just been listening to it with my morning coffee in the sun (heaven)).

go youtube charulatha mani on youtube and listen to the different ragas...im sure people here will get a kick out of that.  try a search for "charulatha mani raga" and go see all the different ragas she explains on her channel.  if the foreign language makes listening to the music uncomfortable, look up an instrumental version of ragas that you have a fondness for.
 
good instruments for indian music violin (electric violin is buttery-smooth), mandolin, sitar, and bamboo flute.
 
here is a sample of ragas that sound noticeably different & they usually evoke a mood or enhance your current mood: hamsadhwani, mohanam, yamuna kalyani, sindhu bhairavi, hindolam, desh, ritigaula, brindavanasaranga, kharaharapriya, sriranjani, nalinakanthi, hamirkalyani & theres way too many more.  I'm sure you could probably find a list on wikipedia or something for hindustani and carnatic ragas (raags, ragams, raaga, etc...spelling differences to english).
 
EDIT: sorry black friday had me wonky...when i posted the above, i thought the thread was about a listener looking to expand their music collection...sorry that my post does not correlate to the theme - i thought i was somewhere else...
