My post 80 is also to you with reference to the thanks to telling me about Mr. Scott.
Darrell Scott’s music is not the polished pop C&W heard on the airwaves. It is first and foremost great song writing (story-telling with thoughtful, clever lyrics) backed up by very impressive, savvy guitar playing. The album linked by Dust In The Wind above is his latest, and the only instruments used are guitar, mandolin, banjo, and I believe I may have heard a bouzouki.
