Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..


I would love to find an excellent recording of acoustic guitar. I'm looking for one that is more towards the genre of pop/rock or country than towards classical. Something upbeat would be great. I don't mind if there are vocals, but my main focus hear is on acoustic guitar. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Lawrence Juber, The Collection. You will love this cd. It is recorded very nice and the music is great.
I suggest you click on my threads and go to my thread named "Calling all acoustic guitar fans" and you see other suggestions as well. Acoustic guitar, it dosen't get any better that this!
I agree with
Leo Kottke '6 &12 String Guitar',
Doc Watson and Merle Watson "Live and Pickin'" and "Doc and the Boys",
Martin Simpson "Cool and Unusual"
and "Friday Night at San Francisco" by McLaughlin, DiMiola and DeLucia is wonderful.
"Skip, Hop and Wobble" by Russ Barenberg, Jerry Douglas,and Edgar Meyer is great for guitar, dobro and accoustic bass.
I would also recommend
Richard Thompson's "Celtschmerz", and accoustic live album from '98 and
"Two Letter Words" especially disc two which starts with four great accoustic numbers. It is a live album from '94 that has a mix of accoustic and electric guitar.
The Richard Thompson is only availble via his web site.

For Jazz I would also recommend Ralph Towner's "Ana". I solo guitar work for Classical and 12 string.
here are a few in recent rotation in my home

Time (the Revelator)...Gillian Welch...americana/country/blues
Big Momma's Door...Alvin Youngblood Hart...blues
Shine Eyed Mister Zen...Kelly Joe Phelps...blues
Roll Away The Stone...Kelly Joe Phelps...blues
Alone & Acoustic...Buddy Guy & Junior Wells...blues
Acoustic Stories...R.L. Burnside...blues

hope this helps
Lots of good ideas above. But I don't see Norman Blake. "Whiskey for Breakfast" is especially good for focusing on guitar.
