What are Your Favourite Acoustic Guitar Songs?

[black_doug]

I was listening to Bruce Cockburn today. This is just one of the good songs from his recent album, Crowing Ignites.



What’ve you got?

 

[fasthand]

Anything from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings

 

[elihu]

Bruce is so good!

Today I'll pick an old Jimmy Martin song...



And Columbus Stockade Blues, which is originally credited to Govenor Jimmie Davis.



Tomorrow will result in a different response!

 

[cat dude]

Pull up Tommy Emmanuel Locomotivation on you tube!

 

[Manual Slim]

Maaaan I saw Bruce Cockburn in the '90s and he blew me away!

 

[Chiogtr4x]

A lot of stuff:

- acoustic Beatles & Stones
-John Prine ( 1st three albums, mainly)
-Neil Young ( Harvest, After The Gold Rush, Comes a Time)
- Bob Dylan ( his mainly solo acoustic albums 1-4, but also 'going electric> albums 5,6,7 and later, Blood on The Tracks)
- James Taylor, Jim Croce, Seals & Croft, C,S,N, Poco, Pure Prarie League, Eagles, some America
- Dead, Garcia/Grisman, Grisman/Tony Rice
- David Bromberg, Norman Blake
-Bluegrass...acoustic blues, Doc Watson

* I love it all, and try to play it all!

I don't think there's such a thing as an acoustic guitar song. Then again, some of this Brazilian stuff would be hard to imagine without it. Guitar is Romero Lubambo.
