Hard to believe no one has mentioned Hank Williams yet ...

"Take These Chains"
"Cold, Cold Heart"
"I Can't Help It"
"So Lonesome I Could Cry"
"Your Cheatin' Heart"
... and dozens more.

Hard for me to argue that list...

I can't dismiss Van Morrison, Cheryl Wheeler or Jimmy Webb.

Dylan first, then Simon, Prine.....Honorable Mention to James McMurtry.....and I'm very impressed by Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) who may or may not fit neatly into the singer/songwriter category.

lol. I don't know 90% of the listed singers so far. No wonder Martin always wins polls in this forum


Here's mine:

Jack Johnson
Chris Martin (Coldplay)
Damien Rice

Lots of wonderful artists already mentioned. Here`s three of my favourites,

Neil Finn (Crowded house)
Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera fame, but fabulous as a solo singer/guitarist.
Andy Partridge (XTC) that man can write a great song about any subject.

I also really like John Hiatt, Paul Weller & Ray Davies who also get a special mention.

Steve.
