Indigo Girls
Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls are an exceptional singer/songwriter duo. I wish that people would not feel the need to mention their sexual orientation every time, because their music is very good work. I am especially a fan of their older material, from Strange Fire to Swamp Ophelia. I personally own
Nomads, Indians, Saints and
Rites of Passage, and can recommend both as options for solid acoustic-based music.

I second the Indigo Girls. 1200 Curfews is easily one of my favorite live albums. Love their versions of Tangled Up in Blue, Midnight Train to Georgia, and a bootleg version of Paul Simon's American Tune (acapella(sp)). Also, their version of Dire Strait's 'Romeo and Juliet' is so power and so different than the original, it's fantastic.
I really dig their original stuff too. Some favorites: Strange Fire,
Closer to Fine, Love's Recovery,
Least Complicated, Virginia Woolf, Pushing the Needle Too Far,
Ghost, Land of Canaan,
Galileo.
