If you like country/blues, acoustic/blues, etc...
You should check out a guy named Jorma Kaukonen. He was a founding member of Jefferson Airplane and went on to found a classic rock/electric blues band called Hot Tuna. I was never a big fan of his singing, especially live, but he can sure play. Anyway, I came across a solo album of his called Blue Country Heart. It's got some great acoustic blues, good slide guitar, and a front porch country kinda feel to it. He actually manages to sing in tune and his voice really fits this style. Kinda sorta reminds me of Mark Knopfler to give you some idea.
Here's the summary of this album from Amazon: Quote:
