Being Canadian, I have avoided getting involved in this discussion for fear of
seeming partisan, but someone mentioned the McGarrigle sisters, and I feel I
should give their last album a strong plug.  I believe it's called "Over and
Over".  It's basically an acoustic album with a folky feel.  I guess you could
compare it to the Roches' work, but the McGarrigles write more subtly and
deftly (nothing against the Roches, mind you).  Consequently, it takes a couple
of listens to be taken with it.  I think anyone who likes Richard and Linda
Thompson in their quieter numbers will love the McGarrigles.

And by the way, RT is a truly fine guitarist who happily won't find himself
embroiled in some stupid comparison with Robert Fripp or Steve Hackett or
Al DiMeola.
