Singer-Songwriter is not a genre I've been very fond of, but I've enjoyed some albums over the years, which not least are (in more or less chronological order): Bob Dylan (USA) - Highway 61 Revisited (1965) Marek Grechuta / Anawa (PL) - Korowód (1971) Al Stewart (UK) - Year of the Cat (1976) Tracy Chapman (USA) - Tracy Chapman (1988) Sinead O'Connor (IRL) - The Lion and The Cobra (1987) Tanita Tikaram (UK) - Ancient Heart (1988) Suzanne Vega (USA) - Solitude Standing (1987) PJ Harvey (UK) - To Bring You My Love (1995) How about you?

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I honestly con't know where to draw the line... Lots of folk artists I don't know whether to include or not. I wouldn't originally have considered PJ Harvey myself. Joni Mitchell: St aka Song to a Seagull, Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Leonard Cohen: Songs of Leonard Cohen, Songs From a Room, Songs of Love and Hate, New Skin for the Old Ceremony, Recent Songs PJ Harvey: Is This Desire?, I Inside the Old Year Dying, Let England
Shake, Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, To Bring You My Love Sufjan Stevens: Michigan, Seven Swans, Illinois, Javelin Scott Walker: 3, 4, 2, 1 Nick Drake: Five leaves Left, Bryter Lyter, Pink Moon Judee Sill: St, Heart Food Gene Clark: No Other Linda Perhacs: Parallellograms Vashti Bunyan: Just Another Diamond Day Sibylle Baier: Colour Green ...oh and Tim Buckley: his seven first

I've followed here RYM's classification and was some suprised myself to see PJ Harvey's To Bring You My Love labelled as Singer-Songwriter, and they tag it as Alternative Rock too. |

Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything without a shadow of a doubt! It's my all time #1 singer-songwriter kinda album! The reason it's not AWaTS is because that one's more of an experimental/prog kinda album rather than a traditional singer/songwriter one.

If this is the correct genre too, I'll add them all to my list as well.

https://connieconverse.bandcamp.com/album/how-sad-how-lovely
Wikipedia: "How Sad, How Lovely is the first album collecting music from American singer-songwriter Connie Converse, released in 2009. The guitarist and singer had disappeared over 30 years prior and this compilation is made up of some of the few recordings she made in the 1960s..." "...folk performer Robert Forster characterized the release as "both a historical document and a living, breathing album", noting how Converse may have single-handedly shifted American folk music from political music and work songs toward the confessional emphasis of singer-songwriter music: "doing this, alone and unaided, making a deep and marvellous connection between lyric and song that allows us to enter the world of an extraordinary woman living in mid-twentieth-century New York"." |

Grechuta's Korowód is my most favourite album and as much proggy as being Singer-Songwriter (Polish Sung Poetry). Both the whole album and this title track are amongst the greatest Polish Rock classics: Edited by David_D - December 30 2023 at 12:15 |

Tanita Tikaram's Ancient Heart may not be a very well-known album, but I've been fond of it since its release in 1988, and I've enjoyed its honest, special mood and stylish simplicity. Here's a sample of it: |

Carole King - Tapestry
James Taylor - Mud Slide Slim Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde Bob Dylan - Desire Carly Simon - No Secrets Judee Sill - s/t Judee Sill - Heart Food Buffy Sainte-Marie - She Used to Wanna Be a Ballerina Joni Mitchell - Blue Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen Melanie - Candles in the Rain (TBH all her albums from 'Born to Be' through to 'Gather Me') All classics IMO from the heyday of the singer songwriter explosion.

I've discovered quite a few new singer-songwriters over the last year or two. The best of them is MG Boulter from Southend - see http://www.mgboulter.co.uk/.
