[Stratofreak]

As mentioned, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. IMO, "The Harrow and the Harvest" is their best release yet!



The Wood Brothers newest, "Smoke Ring Halo" is amazing! Ten exceptional songs make this my favorite release of 2011.



Drive By Truckers, especially when Jason Isbell was in the lineup.



Ryan Adams has a deep discography and his newest, "Ashes and Fire" is really strong.

Check out

+1 to Avett Brothers - "I and Love and You"
Modest Mouse - "Moon & Antartica" or "We Were Dead before the Ship even Sank" or "Lonesome Crowded West"
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Pig Lib

[mrpinter]

If you like Matthew Sweet, check out The Thorns (they made one self titled album).
And if you like Toad the Wet Sprocket, you'll probably like Midnight Oil (Earth And Sun And Moon).
Also, what about Bruce Cockburn? Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws and/or The Charity Of Night would be good starting places.
