Can only be Richard Thompson. Such a variety of song writing and the diversity of his guitar playing from heart aching ballads to blisterring solos hasn't been equalled in my opinion.
Jimmy Webb - Wicheta Lineman
Gets me by the heartstrings every time.....
Beethoven 6th.

Christ, c_g, you don't go for the easy ones, do you? Damn, there are just so many it's almost impossible to make a choice. Favourites would include:
Patty Griffin
Emmylou Harris
Laura Marling
Gemma Hayes
Kris Delmhorst
Tom Waits
Paul Simon
Peter Gabriel
*sigh* I suppose if I have to choose one, it would be Peter Gabriel, for sheer consistency right through his entire career. As for a song, just as difficult, but San Jacinto from PG 4 just shades it.
Tomorrow, it could be any of the above.
best song writer and wordsmith in my honest opinion is Martyn Walkyier from the folk metal band Skyclad.
You lost my memory- the lyrics just sum up every nasty hurtful breakup
some great song and album titles:
the silent whales of lunar sea
Folkemon
great blow for a day job
thinking aloud?
single phial
inequality street
I would also second New Model Army- Green and Grey or small town england
Difficult but will go for Shane MacGowan. Song choice is 2A Pair of Brown Eyes" today, could be different tommorrow.
Steve Earle today.
