Check out this semi-obscure folk singer/songwriter Jackson C. Frank. "Blues Run the Game," his only album, features sparse yet achingly beautiful compositions, which everyone from Paul Simon (the producer of this recording) to Nick Drake has covered.
Below is a link to Frank's song "I Want to Be Alone (Dialogue)"--my favorite song in the collection:
"I Want to Be Alone (Dialogue)"
And here's a slide show set to Nick Drake's version of "Milk and Honey":

I thoroughly recommend shelling out some greenbacks for this album (or getting it by some other means... you know, like downloading it). Enjoy!

I like Jackson Frank and all but what about Leo Kottke? or Dave Bromberg? or Jesse Fuller? There are a lot of forgotten greats.
