What are some really good acoustic/folk music? It has to have good lyrics, and good vocals and not be too boring but still quiet and calm and powerful.... is that too much? Songs, albums, artists, anything.

I love Damien Rice. :) Also, Damien Rice, Amos Lee, and John Mayer.
And I tend to stay away from old music, and perfer new up and coming artists that aren't too famous. I am a concert photographer, and love great live shows and small crowds.
And I am pretty damn picky. Haha.

Greg Brown (early works) - Great lyrics. Skip anything recorded in the 2000s however. He is one of my favorite folk artists.
Patti Larkin. Great lyrics and her guitar work is nice too.
Lucy Kaplansky.
Martin Sexton.

Well, my father-in-law is the origanal member of the Kingston Trio! I suggest "High Heels" or "Where have all the flowers gone" "Tom Dooley" any of them are great!

Edwin McCain is really good, his album "Messenger" has a song: "Prayer to St Peter" that is excellent!
