Can I add Jon Allen to the list of singer/songwriters, he's another one that can turnout a full album without a song that doesn't impress me.

Leonard Cohen

I heard some snippets from an Eric Clapton recording session of Robert Johnson songs and Clapton was explaining how it was quite hard to play, even for him. I was going to buy it, the thought, "hang on, why not buy the Robert Johnson version". Johnson's entire recorded work fits on a single album; maybe the most influential artist of all popular music
