I asked a similar question in a previous thread. You might want to check out the answers I got. I now have many of these and they are great. Was listening to "Only" by TE on the way to work. Blows me away! :o

Steve Howe - Not Necessarily Acoustic ain't too bad. It's live.

Well, Doc Watkins for bluegrass. Leo Kottke's "Shout Toward Noon." Michael Hedges "Breakfast in the Field." Christopher Parkening is one of the top classical guitarists in the world: he's got a CD called "Simple Gifts", which are hymns and religious folk music, and it's excellent.

John Fahey is an eccentric pick but great tone and phrasing. Joe Pass and Pat Metheny on the jazz front. Ralph Towner is neat, but sometimes hard to listen to. The Steve Howe pick is nice, though his taste is not everyone's and he is a horribly bad singer. Gordon Lightfoot's "Gord's Gold" is terrific, a wonderful acoustic group. Jethro Tull's "Stand Up" album, John Renbourn, or Ian Anderson's "Secret Life of Birds" if you like English-based folk.
