We all know that there is not shortage of acoustic guitarists peddling whatever gimmick they choose, the great many of them done over and over throughout the decades. And yet this over-saturation makes those who stand out all the more important. Jack Allett's style is familiar, but so well done it's worth some attention. In the video below his style is similar to James Blackshaw but overall I'd say Allett brings a more diverse set of sounds on his debut, The Collapsing Middle. Here he is playing live earlier this year.
You can hear more of his music on soundcloud.
With that said, Glenn Jones cast a shadow that is damn near inimitable. You've probably seen his album The Wanting on many year-end lists.
You were right - I did love this.
