Other than my own recordings, which is what I'm really listening too most hours, most days, these days, this stuff this week:
Husker Du. The new collection of early recordings and demos "Savage Young Du". For a band that became a model for a lot of later 20th Century hard core punk, they still sound unique to me.
Gabor Szabo. Had a moment in the Sixties, now pretty much forgotten. Just one of those things that I felt I had to listen to again after posting on a thread here about making an acoustic stand in for an electric guitar. I think most of his stuff is a DeArmond sound-hole pickup in a Martin dread. Some of the arrangements are full of Sixties cheese like the later Wes Montgomery records, and the faux raga/eastern European scale thing dates it, but I happen to like the faux raga/eastern European scale thing. For a sample with a familiar riff to Santana fans:

Steve Tibbetts "Yr". Just a perfect album. Mixes acoustic and electric perfectly. Self-engineered but flawlessly to my dumb ears.
