Check out Clem Snide. Actually a trio named after a William S. Burroughs character, they play laid back country/folk/mellow/whatever (I have no gift for identifying musical genres). All their songs are very simple, beautifully played, introspective pieces.

I suggest you listen to “Your Favorite Music” (available on thier website), “I Love the Unknown” and “African Friend” (available from less reputable sources). “I Love the Unknown” makes me want to pack up and follow the sunset, the jetstream, the horizon.
