A current favorite of mine is Ryley Walker. After a day of listening to everything I could find online, I scooped up every release I could reach and preordered the upcoming LP, Primrose Green. Beautiful acoustic picking in the Jansch/Renbourn/Davy Graham vein with a backing that sounds like one of the folk rock albums Joe Boyd would have produced somewhere between ’69-72. Expect more from him here soon!
