Looking for some good acoustic rock music!!

I am a huge fan of acoustic rock and need some help finding some new music. What are some good groups to try?

The Rugburns/Steve Poltz
Gregory Page
Ann Beretta has a great acoustic album called "The Other Side Of The Coin"
Jesse Malin
Paul Westerberg ("Stereo" is my favorite)
latter stuff from the Goo Goo Dolls
Pete Yorn
Mary Lou Lord
Paleface
Ginger from the Wildhearts has a couple live acoustic CDs out. If you're into "rock" and "acoustic", this is your best bet. Try "Potatoes & You".

tons more... just can't think of any offhand...

Damnation by Opeth, granted you'd more then likely hate their other stuff, but this is their all accoustic/slow song album

Hells yes. I love that album.

I recommend Might Could. You can download a few of their tunes on their website.

Another suggestion from me
'Redemption' by Walls of Jericho http://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Wal...3947622&sr=1-1
You prob won't like their other albums, but this is really good stuff from them.

If you're into acoustic rock and have never checked out the Avett Brothers, you're definitely doing yourself a disservice...

I'll second the Rugburns and Steve Poltz. I'm also a big fan of Chris Isaak.

QFT. On a more recent note, Okkervil River has some good acoustic stuff.
