I am with you all....love John Denver, and I also love James Taylor, especially the greatest hits albums/CD. I am looking for an instrumental bluegrass CD that I can play while I cook and do other things at home....does anyone have one they would recommend? That would be nice for a shop atmosphere too.
I just love the soundtrack to Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? That old timey acoustic scratchy record stuff...I suppose I ought to be more specific, but a quick check through the Library of Congress for 20's, 30's country/folk music might yield some different artists than what you might find in many other stores.

Yes! I was thinking of the Oh Brother sound track too!! When I am feeling "domestic" and doing something like baking bread or canning I listen to that one, Lorretta Lynn and the Dixie Chicks "Home" CD - wow I just realized that I haven't got anything new in a long time!
How about Nickel Creek - especially the first CD? If you like Celtic there is the Tannahill Weavers, Dougie MacLean, and don't forget the Chieftans. For hammered dulcimer music (my personal favorite) there is Heartdance by Jerry Read Smith or anything by John McCutcheon. John Denver is always a good choice. For a more New Age instrumental sound try Michael Hedges "Ariel Boundries" or "Breakfast In The Field" or even John Renbournes "The Lady and the Unicorn".
