Lyrics wise but not entirely my bag The House Marrtins and Squeeze were very clever.

Elvis Costello

Paul Simon: his lyrics are genuine poetry - just one example is this from The boxer:
"I have squandered my resistance
for a pocket full of mumbles such are promises.
All lies and jest, but a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest"

Dolly Parton. So many truly authentic and humbling songs.

Also on a country vein - Willie Nelson. I've never been a big fan of his voice but you can't deny the many great songs he wrote, including huge hits for others like Elvis, Patsy Cline and Roy Orbison. I forgot the name of whoever recorded Hello Walls first, but I think he wrote it too.

Hank Williams , surprised he hasn’t been listed already. Hello walls written by Willie recorded by Faron Young .

Yoko Ono.

Absolutely, I'm a fan of Hank. I thought about adding him too but didn't want to just fill it up with country artists.
