If you like them, you'd probably like Nick Drake and John Martyn too. (While I love the ISB, at least the early albums, Drake and Martyn are more accessible, easier to get a handle on playing their stuff.)
Oh I can play October Song, one of my fav a bit simpler to play than their other songs (not that I can play many of their songs), but I really like the melody. Reminds me of Forever by Roy Harper.

Wish I could sing... I could play a bigger variety of songs at the open mics I've been going to. Still new to performing and all that!

Oh yeah love the Drake. To be honest, I haven't heard much of John Martyn, he's also on my list of "got to listen to".

Right now I'm just trying to polish up on the songs I know so I don't make so many mistakes when playing.

Well I learned some of Canadee I O, but I put it on hold because I'm trying to learn more songs on standard/dropped D for performances
