Gretchen Peters in particular has an extensive catalogue of beautiful and skilfully crafted songs.

Have you ever heard Robert Wyatt's version of Elvis Costello and Clive Langer's Shipbuilding Mazzy? They actually wrote it for him and his unique mesmerising vocals just elevate the song to a different dimension. Afterward, Elvis recorded his own version of it. The song is an anti-Falkand's war song. The controversial war Margaret Thatcher's government fought against Argentina. The lyric refers to the irony of how war can lead to work for the men who build warships which will ultimately send their sons off to die. Apologies if I am telling you stuff you already know! Also if you get a chance check out another great version of Season of the Witch by Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger and the Trinity. Great pick on the Bert Jansch! and great video as ever.

Tracy Chapman is so incredible. I have the album you were holding. It is more scarce now as well as most of her other work on vinyl. At some point, I'm hoping for a vinyl box set like Sade has coming out for Tracy. Until then, her CDs are pretty accessible so people can hear her greatness. I love her writing style and her voice. I'm so glad you brought her in on your choices here. I think she is so overlooked sadly.

I have just discovered this, thank you, a great and inspiring list. You have included some of my favorite artists and there are many that I still want to get more familiar with. Some names that are neither been listed nor I have seen being mentioned in the comments are:
Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Eva Cassidy (though she is more a mere singer/ interpreter, but she is definitely worth checking out).
10 more and lesser known artists and records I would recommend:
Loreena McKennitt - Live at Alhambra
Sophie Zelmani - Sing and dance
Sarah Jarosz - Undercurrent
Asaf Avidan - The reckoning
Chris Stapleton - first record
J. S. Ondara - Tales of America
David Ramirez - Fables
Joel Rafael - Baladista
Fernando Ortega - Fernando Ortega
Martyn Joseph - Thunder and rainbows
Another one would be Andrew Marlin (former Mandolin Orange - Wildfire, now Watchhouse)

Norman, although I'm a bit younger than you, born in '64, you are definitely a kindred soul musically, as I think I have nearly every album you featured. Great selection! Just some housekeeping in case someone missed it, Badfinger was the first artist/group signed to Apple records, James Taylor was the first non-British artist. Maybe because I'm Canadian, I would say Gordon Lightfoot. Keep up the great content, sorry I'm 3 years behind the comments. Story of my life!
