Karen Dalton, It's si hard to tell who's going to love you best
Fred Neil, Fred Neil
Leonard Cohen, Songs from a room
Tim Buckley, Tim Buckley (a bit on the pop-rock side of folk though)
Tim Hardin, Tim Hardin and from Tim Hardin #1 to #3
Townes Van Zandt, The Nashville sessions

More recent stuff :
The Palace Brothers, There is no-one what will take care of you but almost any record by Will Oldham is a great pick)
Smog, Red apples fall
Red House Painters #1 & #2
Lambchop, Jack's tulips
Joanna Newsom, The Milk-eyed mender & Ys (not strictly folk though)
all of Cat Power's lo-fi stuff (there's some rock in there, beware ! :p)

Piers Faccini, Leave no trace
Thee, Stranded Horse, Churning strides
José Gonzalez, In our nature
any Elliott Smith acoustic stuff
