I've never heard one voice and one guitar sound so good.

It's not all just him on his own - so his albums have some great musicians as well - like Richard Thompson and Danny Thompson.
And some great orchestrations - like "River Man" - one of my favourite tracks.
I think Bryter Later is may favourite - this has some nice instrumentals as well as vocal tunes and has Jazz/Blues as well as Classical/Folk influences.

That suprises me for some reason. They are certainly both amazing albums, but the more stripped down, personal stuff always gets me more.

My favourite all-time track/song, though is "River Man".

Suit yourself, I guess.
My favourite has to be Things Behind The Sun.

Been Smokin' Too Long is definitely my favorite of his songs. his style made for a great blues song..
