Sweet list, like the early comps, like the later 2000's stuff I hadn't heard yet. Check out my list "These Albums Have Acoustic Guitar" for recs. My criteria is much looser than yours but it has a similar spirit. I wonder if you are not including new agey stuff on purpose like Michael Hedges, Steve Tibbetts, or Preston Reed? You have Will Ackerman here so I assume you are a little flexible. Also, Daniel Hecht and Henry Taussig would be good additions regardless. And for goodness sakes, Visions of the Mother-Freakin Country please!!! Much love.
