I’ve had Tracy Chapman on repeat for almost an hour now, and I love it’s meaningful lyrics and acoustic melody.
Do you know of any similiar tracks, with acoustic guitar music that you can tell me about?
Cheers :)

Emiliana Torrini.
Are you ‘just’ looking for female acoustic guitarists/singers, or singers that tell stories through their songs?

@rebbel I really love and admire music with meaningful lyrics, so I would very much like to get tracks with stories in them :) Acoustic is a preferance for me though.
Edit: Tracy Chapman is is not a guy ;)—

Sorry, but Tracy is a girl.
I made the same mistake though when I first heard her back in the end of the eighties.
You might like Patti Smith.
And/or Mary Gauthier.
And/or Rory Block.

Oh jeez, I feel like a dunce :/
I like Mary Gauthier though. And please feel free to link me to any male singers too, it doesn’t count for much whether it’s a guy or a woman singing to me :)

“it doesn’t count for much whether it’s a guy or a woman singing to me :)”
Really? I wouldn’t say ;-)

Let me think for a bit on males.

Sometimes my number one singer hides in back alleys of my brain, but here he is: Nick Drake.

You are welcome, @MilkyWay.
