Acoustic Artists

[Twist]

I'm looking for some artists that basically just play acoustic. Sit with there guitar and sing,. A more popular example would be James Blunt, but you know, somewhat better than him. >_> Cheers.

Mike Hale it is.

YI, where can I find some of his stuff? I've tried youtube but all the videos on there are in noisy pubs/venues bar like one, kind of hard to hear him in most of them.

He has a myspace.

His album is called "Broken With No Hope", and is my favourite of the year...it's not particularly difficult to track down.

Bit of advice, check out Alex Young & the Sirens on MySpace. It's amazing stuff.

(edit: you'll have to search '&' not 'and'. MySpace is being annoying. Well worth having a look.

Matchbox 20's Acoustic stuff, Shinedown has some nice acoustic stuff...and of course there's the old Nirvana Unplugged album.

[Rich]

City and Colour... Dallas Green is amazing

[TheRossWalker]

Joey Cape.

[Tarheels.]

Ray LaMontagne

Damien Rice

Kevin Devine (he has a combination of acoustic and band sometimes)

Bon Iver

Ben Harper

Josh Ritter

Elliott Smith

[Gabriel]

Michale Graves' last album Illusions, was an acoustic album... and his new live album is all acoustic as well.

He plays some Misfits songs, some songs from his solo punk days, and a lot of the stuff he and Damien Echols co-wrote together.

[Guest TheHaitianCrustacean]

Donavon Frankenreiter and Matt Danielson.

More dramatic would be Jeff Buckley.

Less dramatic would be John Mayer Trio.

[METALMAN]

Yes go for Elliott Smith.

Loudoun Wainwright III.

I'll think of more later.

LATER: Nick Drake

This and look for "Dirthouse". I think the only recording of it is a 'live studio recording' type thing, as it wasn't on one of their albums, it was on "Masters of Horror 2" or something like that. It should still be up on Youtube though.

[tristy]

Rodrigo y Gabriela.

[Dan]

Boyce Avenue, although they perform mainly pop covers, they're great.

[db07]

Donavon Frankenreiter and Matt Danielson.

Less dramatic would be John Mayer Trio.

John Mayer or John Butler Trio?

[Lowerdeck]

I can't imagine it being Mayer, except for a couple of songs.

Solo stuff from Mayer on the other hand, especially in the earlier days...

[Hellfire]

Boyce Avenue, although they perform mainly pop covers, they're great.

This man knows what he's talking about. They have a shitload of stuff on Youtube. I'll add Mike Hale again, in case someone managed to miss the five times YI mentioned him.
