David Wilcox - New Horizon - goes from tastefully produced folk pop to guitar/vocal.

Shawn Colvin - A Few Small Repairs - lush but precise production, with interesting panning, not in your typical guitars-hard-left-and-right style.

The first Norah Jones CD is pretty cool.

Lucinda Williams does some interesting stuff, but now we're veering off into a more rock-oriented sound.

Avoid the new Allison Krause/Robert Plant duet disk. God I hate the way that sounds, with the muffled kick drum fighting with the muffled bass. It's probably supposed to be some kind of retro analog magic, but it gives me a headache.
