A little while ago (OK, a long while ago), Acoustic Guitar Magazine ran a story on the 100 Essential Acoustic Guitar CD’s.  I came across the list again recently.  Here are some of my favorites that made the Acoustic Guitar Magazine list.   (Links take you to the MP3’s or CD’s on Amazon.)

• Shawn Colvin, Live ‘88 (1995)
• Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks (1974)
• Nick Drake, Pink Moon (1972)
• James Taylor, Greatest Hits (1976)
• Neil Young, Harvest Moon (1992)
• The Beatles, Rubber Soul (1966)
• Dave Matthews Band, Under the Table and Dreaming (1994)
• Woody Guthrie, Dust Bowl Ballads (1988 - originally recorded in 1940)

I think it’s a good list but can’t understand for the life of me how it’s possible that not one Robert Johnson recording made the list (maybe RJ’s recordings weren’t out yet?).  For the full list, check out the original story on the Acoustic Guitar Magazine website.
