Anti-folk stalwart Toby Goodshank is always worth a listen. He's one of the nicest guys around too.

Bit more dangerous and snarly - Hamell on Trial. Angry and funny as hell.

Phoebe Kreutz is possibly the funniest songwriter around IMHO. She has such a way with what used to be called feminine rhymes (always was a sexist term!).

Rachel Lipson writes lovely songs in an anti-folk kinda way.

Diane Cluck is amaaaazing. Other-worldly and strangely moving.

Um. None of these are especially new. They might be new to you though.

I second the James Yorkston shout - he's a bit more trad than the above, but he's amazingly skilled. And British to boot.

Others? M. Ward? Vic Chesnutt? Jason Molina?

Ive heard some diane cluck, shes very good. the song 'the river' she did with jeffrey lewis is pretty neat.

Thanks for the suggestions.
i do like the odd a bit more than the traditional.

oh ive also heard Mward, his album 'post-war' was realy good!
