Could someone recommend me some good acoustic music?

New or old is fine, although I'd love to find some good modern people. Thanks.

I like Neil Young, Dylan, Nick Drake etc.

i made an acoustic mix in the mixtape section. you might find some bands there. you've probly heard of some of these, but:

Frank Turner
Tim Barry
Chuck Ragan
Paul Baribeau
Rumbleseat
Dan Potthast
Rocky Votolato
Fear Like Us
Defiance, Ohio (more punk than anything else)
Apologies, I Have None (same as D,O)

i can probly think of more later. i'll get back to you

Thanks I'll listen to it. Defiance, Ohio is the only one I'm familiar with. They're pretty good.

Elliott Smith, City and Colour, Dustin Kensrue, The Secret Show.

I'm really into acousticy kinda folky stuff at the moment too so I'll check out that mixtape.

Sam Russo and Apologies I Have None are what I'm listening to at the moment that's not on the list

yeah, Sam Russo's great. forgot about him. also:

Max Stern
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution
Sundowner

Hows about,

Bon Iver
Captain Chaos
Ghost Mice
Johnny Hobo and the freight trains
Wingnut Dishwashers Union
Attack in Black do some great acoustic stuff

Seeing as how you like singer-songwriter folk stuff, I'm positive you'll like Joseph Arthur.

We got a thread about him on here, so I don't know if you've already checked out his music, but give it a listen!

I second the Sundowner recommendation. Great stuff. Other than that, i don't really listen to any totally acoustic bands, just groups that'll throw one on an album once in a while. I guess I'll listen to Ben Harper every now and then, but, yeah...

I think "Streetcore", the last album by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros has a few acoustic songs on it. If you haven't yet, that's definitely worth checking out.

Listen to this man, Tim Vantol www.myspace.com/timvantol

Everyone's got something to add Here's mine. Check out Xavier Rudd.

This is my favourite album by him. His music is very different from the other acoustic stuff mentioned here. It is very laid back, calm and amazing to listen to when falling asllep at night. The title track, messages and my missing are my favourite songs. Have a listen, it will blow you away.

Oh and if anyone else has a listen, tell me what you thought.

Thank you all for the continuing recommendations. Sam Russo sounds good but I can't find his stuff anywhere...would like to buy it perhaps but it looks like he is very unknown. Just over 100 listeners on Last.FM!

As for the Mescaleros, I have all their studio releases, great stuff. I'd love for Hellcat to come out with a live album but I doubt if it will ever happen. It's rumoured they have other studio recordings and demos that have never seen the light of day...

I would recommend Elliot Smith as above, Willy Mason, Bon Iver errr Paul Weller , Eddie Vedders into the wild album is pretty much the most amazing acoustic album i have heard.

I just recently saw a band called Trunks and tales that i thought were pretty good

My mixtape was also pretty much acoustic music; however, most of the bands on my tape were not known for being acoustic bands.

PHIL OCHS! ANYTHING PHIL OCHS ACOUSTIC!

OH - And THE FLIPSIDE OF OVERDRIVE - friends of mine from the US of A - check'em out.

I second bon iver and rocky volotato.

Rocky is going on a west coast house show tour, so if you kids wanna see him, Look it up.

that dude's incredible. similar to Chuck Ragan or Jamie Hay. thanks for the recommendation. i just friended him on fb too

Bon Iver is amazing...thank you. I'd like to have a go at playing his songs but the tunings are so awkward.

Try Nils Lofgren, Acoustic Live

haha i just tried to talk to Tim Vantol on facebook, and he logged off right away. it's cool though, i don't think any less of him. i probly wouldnt have talked to some random kid either

ive been getting into jeffery lewis, i highly recommend him

the against me! acoustic EP is bananas, son!

Cory Branan is great. He is not all acoustic but I really dig him here is a link of him performing his new stuff.... His lyrics are amazing and I really like his fresh approach and a traditional guitar style.
