Wendy Martinez, "Aux femmes fortes."
The Compete Phoenix Concerts from John Stewart (Kingston Trio 1961-67).
Got on a Dave Frishberg kick as I haven't listened to him for at least 5 years or more. Of course, you have to listen to his biggest hit:
The Dreadnoughts
Dervish, my favorite Irish trad band. I love Cathy Jordan's voice. If I was Odysseus and she was a Siren, I'd have wrecked the ship.

Speaking of Indonesia, I have been a fan of Balinese Gamelan music since first hearing it in Bali at age 10.
David Russell is excellent.
Classical guitar is doing very well these days. There are so many fantastic young players on the scene, like Vera Danilina, Samuel Asistores, Yaroslava Ihnatenko, Zsombor Sidoo,... this could be a long list. You can find them on YouTube, among other places.
Also some who, like Russell, are not so young. Such as Alan Mearns, who is an outstanding player and arranger, across a whole range of genres.
There is a lot wrong with the world right now, but music is in a very good place. We are spoiled for choice like never before. It is one thing the internet has delivered on in spades. My only regret is that it is impossible listen to it all in one lifetime.
