Ok, so its not really acoustic but a deep, soulful album that many acoustic fans will fully appreciate.
Wincing The Night AwayWincing The Night Away by The Shins

Again, not specifically acoustic but indiepop darlings The Shins' vocalist James Mercer has a voice suited perfectly to folk music.
OO by Damien Rice
Buy new: £5.22 / Used from: £1.95
The incredible debut album from Damien Rice and my personal preference to the also wonderful 9, this album ticks all of the boxes for great acoustic music.
Who You AreWho You Are by Cary Brothers

First full album veers slightly from the more acoustic laden EPs but loses none of the passion.
Stop All the World NowStop All the World Now by Howie Day
Buy new: £14.49 / Used from: £4.03
Again, Scrubs fans will have heard some of Howie Day's songs before and this is a great chance for everyone else to do the same. Classy album.
