The best Singer/Songwriters

~~MicShazam~~ · 06-16-2018, 10:44 AM

The genre label singer/songwriter is a bit weird and vague, but if you stop being a contrarian about it, you can see a lot of artists that fairly neatly bundle together as having a lot in common under this same roof. I'm not going to bother with definitions, and I don't hope this thread devolves into an argument about same, but oh well.

Over the last few years, I've been realizing that this might be my favorite category of music. I've got a good amount of albums from various singer/songwriters, and I'm always looking for new ones worthy of being added to my shelves.

A few that I really, really like:

Joni Mitchell

Joan Baez

Ani DiFranco

Tori Amos

Suzanne Vega

Shannon Wright

Beth Orton

Alela Diane

I'm listening to Jeff Buckley's only full album, Grace, as I'm writing this. First time for me. Damned good so far!

There's no doubt that this area of music holds a lot more for me to appreciate, so I'm very curious about what I'll find down the line.

What singer/songwriters, if any, do you guys like?
