Anbefalt singer-songwriter:

et knippe artister/låtskrivere innen folk og pop som typisk legger stor vekt på autentisitet, integritet og personlig engasjement i tekster og fremføring

Bert Jansch / When the Circus Comes to Town

"Although many of the players he has influenced have gone on to international stardom, Jansch never really broke through commercially. But he has continued to grow musically, and his recent When the Circus Comes to Town may be the best thing he has done since his debut." [Acoustic Guitar]

Bill Mallonee

Dear Life

"A sweet, quiet, folksy record filled with intelligent lyrics and deft musicianship, is done with that great instinct Mallonee always has for what makes great pop music...in spite of a deceptively minimalist feel, Mallonee has assembled a smart, complex collection of songs that allow him to stretch out." [No Depression]

Bob Dylan

Blood on the Tracks

"This is an album alternately bitter, sorrowful, regretful, and peaceful, easily the closest he ever came to wearing his emotions on his sleeve...Dylan made albums more influential than this, but he never made one better." [AMG]

Bruce Cockburn

Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws - Deluxe Edition

"In the '70s, Cockburn's songs began fusing folk and jazz with world music rhythms (notably Jamaican backup on the hit «Wondering Where the Lions Are»), and he delivered dazzling guitar instrumentals that were compositionally and technically years ahead of their time." [Acoustic Guitar]

Damien Rice

O

"Damien Rice's debut full-length, O, is nothing less than a work of genius, a perfect cross between Ryan Adams and David Gray and a true contender for one of the best albums of 2003. This Irish singer/songwriter works with impassioned folk songs that move from stripped-down to grandly orchestrated." [AMG]

David Wilcox

How Did You Find Me Here

"In an age where sampling and tracks overloaded with instrumentation are the norm, Wilcox has created a record of rare value that features his voice and acoustic guitar as primary instruments...all from a poet's perspective, set to music that alternately soothes, excites and leaves a hunger for more." [Syndicate]

Elliott Smith

Either/Or

"Either/Or feels like as much of an acoustic record as Five Leaves Left or Blood On The Tracks, which is partly down to the inconsequential playing and production, and partly because Smith's performance is so engrossing." [Ink Blot Magazine]

Gary Jules

Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets

"Gary Jules' Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets is at once beautiful and haunting, depressing and inspiring, lonely and welcoming - delicately crafted folk music of the highest order" [Rolling Stone]

John Gorka

The Company You Keep

"As with all his previous releases, the songwriting is wonderful...The disc is consistently first-rate throughout...a great introduction to one of the very best singer/songwriters around." [Fish Records]

Joni Mitchell

Blue

"Sad, spare, and beautiful, Blue is the quintessential confessional singer/songwriter album...Mitchell's music moves beyond the constraints of acoustic folk into more intricate and diverse territory, setting the stage for the experimentation of her later work...Blue remains a watershed." [AMG]

Josh Ritter

Hello Starling

"Captures the sparse elegance of Nick Drake's Pink Moon, the gritty passion of Neil Young's Harvest, and the melodic charm of Cat Steven's Tea for the Tillerman." [Maxim]

Leonard Cohen

Dear Heather

"The tone of the album is mellow, hushed, nocturnal. Its instrumentation is drenched in the beat nightclub atmospherics of Ten New Songs: trippy, skeletal R&B and pop." [AMG]

Marc Cohn

"This album is worth checking out for any listener who wonders where the tuneful pop and soul of the Big Chill era went." 4.5/5 [AMG]

Mark Heard

Second Hand

Plaintive, passionate, heartbreaking and hopeful music is colored by warm, acoustic production reminiscent of his earlier recordings, all of which dims in comparison to the lyrics, some of the best pure songwriting ever put on tape. Includes provocative ballads such as «Nod Over Coffee» and «Lonely Moon».

Neil Young

Live at Massey Hall 1971

"Toronto-konserten, som selvsagt også inkluderer Youngs noe mindre sofistikerte pianospill, er ren nytelse: krystallklar lyd, inspirerte framføringer av alt fra Buffalo Springfield-låter til 1974-utgitte «See The Sky About To Rain». Klassisk "må ha"-plate." 6/6 [Dagbladet]

Nick Drake

Pink Moon

"With a voice paradoxically feather-light and grave, one of the most beautiful and melancholy albums ever recorded." [Alternative Press]

Over the Rhine

Ohio [2CD]

"A record of disarming beauty and stunning emotional focus...the combination of Bergquist's voice with superb songwriting and tasteful playing makes this a highlight record of the year." [Performing Songwriter Magazine]

Peter Case

The Man with the Blue...Guitar

"Exceptional songs and musical guests, including Ry Cooder and members of Los Lobos and Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, make this release a worthwhile purchase." [AMG]

Pierce Pettis

Everything Matters

"Pierce Pettis is an engaging vocalist and an excellent guitarist, but he's primarily one of the pre-eminent songwriters of our time. Any disc of his is an event, and this one is no exception...he wraps his baritone voice lovingly around clever phrases and rich, everyday language." [AMG]

Richard Shindell

Somewhere Near Paterson

"Every track reinforces what we already knew, that Shindell is an intelligent, thoughtful and eloquent songwriter who stands head and shoulders above the pack. A significant release by an important artist." [Fish Records]

Richard Thompson

The Old Kit Bag

"The Old Kit Bag rommer alle de ingrediensene et langt samliv med Thompson har lært oss å forvente på en solfylt dag: de gode historiene, det sylskarpe gitarspillet og den stilsikre genreblandingen." 5/6 [Aftenposten]

Robert Deeble

Earthside Down

"Robert Deeble is accompanied by cello, bass and occasional percussion, but the front-and-center attraction remained his plucked (never strummed) guitar, and breathy baritone voice." [AMG]

Sam Phillips

Fan Dance

"An album of soft-spoken beauty... intriguingly inventive... flitting, cinematic imagery." [Uncut]

T-Bone Burnett

The Criminal Under My Own Hat

"The Criminal Under My Own Hat is like an album of some great Bob Dylan songs that Dylan never wrote...his skewed imagery and lyricism are ever-fascinating as he gazes into the apocalypse." [Audio]

Townes Van Zandt

Live at The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas [2CD]

"Lent mot tradisjonen omreisande trubadurar som Jimmie Rodgers, Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams og Lightnin' Hopkins har gjort før, gjer han sine viser, sin country og sin blues ...Townes hentar fram meir følelse og meir nyanse enn dei fleste skolerte tenorar evner." [groove.no]
