Wow, this is tough limiting it to just three (so I kind of cheated)...

Bob Dylan - Not the greatest vocalist IMO; but his songwriting is legendary, with more songs being copied by other professional artists than maybe anyone else is history.

Jackson Browne - An oustanding lyricist. A prime example - "...and we'll fill in the missing colors in each other's paint by number dreams."

Neil Young & James Taylor (tie) - Classic singer/songwriters that have stood the test of time and are still going strong 40-50 years later.

Default Pick only 3? tough to do

I'll agree with kerbie ..."Probably Janis Ian, Dan Fogelberg..."

and add John Prine and Kristofferson.

The list could go on...

As folks have already said - this is challenging to narrow it to three, but for this morining, these are my 3 -

Martin Simpson - his guitar accompaniment always has amazing harmonies and interesting phrasings and rhythms. His playing is very melodic and brings so much emotion in support of the lyrics.

Mary Chapin Carpenter - she is such a great lyricist and her guitar accompaniment always is so tasteful - blends really well with her great lead guitarist, John Jennings or just supports her voice with such a good balance if she is performing a song solo.

Janis Ian - as a solo performer, she brings a lot of power with her guitar playing. Such small guitars she plays but she brings so much dynamics into the playing. Lots of textures and rhythms.

I could add names but I will refrain since setting boundaries is a good thing to practice!

Best,
Jayne
