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, and coming from him, that is saying something. 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
