2 at the top of the ladder:SALT, SUN AND TIME Bruce Cockburn (True North/TNBD 0016)
COOL AND UNUSUAL Martin Simpson (Red House Records/RHR CD 110)
(why? because i never ever ever tire of them, because they hang together as whole pieces of art, not just a collection of good songs or tunes, because both musicians are geniuses, because both albums and artists have influenced my way of thinking about folk music and about my life in this world....)
