My favorite record would be a compilation of my favorite acoustic guitarists : Davy Graham , Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Ralph Towner, Leo Kottke but just for one single record I choose Pat Metheny's baritone guitar record : One Quiet Night

This may be outside the scope of the thread because there is some electric on this track and the cd.In any event, a lovely tune and cd,by Marisa Anderson, here's the title track from her latest cd.

Holy krap. That Kottke stuff is just amazing.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Leo is one of a kind! His rhythmic drive, slide playing, and intricate melodies are second to none. Everything he recorded for Capitol, and Chrysalis is worth picking up. And I like My Father's Face from his Private Music catalog. There's a tune towards the end of the 6 & 12 album where you can hear the genesis of Michael Hedges's style. He was a huge Kottke fan.
In case you don't know Pierre is on a US tour right now. I saw him last Sunday here in Maryland and it was superb! His rendition of Intuite, an homage to the great Munir Bachir, from the 2000 album of the same name was absolutely mind-blowing and has evolved into even more a technical marvel since the recording. It was amazing how he made his steel string sound like an oud.
He is also made himself available to his fans and radiates warmth, ease and charm. It was such a pleasure to me him. I bought his guitar book and his DADGAD DVD masterclasss video. It was a great evening.

Lots of great music to listen to in this thread.
Here's a link to track by Cyril Pahinui from an album titled Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters that I have enjoyed for many years.
Definitely agree on the Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges albums. I don't think I've seen a mention of Roy Harper's Stormcock...
Or Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left...

Bob Dylan. First album. My favorite solo, acoustic album. Great album.
Not really Solo, but I really enjoy Strunz and Farah - Americas or Heat of the sun.

I used to have an Anthony Phillips album of solo 12 string guitar pieces that I really enjoyed. Each piece was for a month of the year. Can't remember the title and it disappeared when I moved 10 years ago.

We have already named 2 of the original American primitivists, so let's add the final one, Robbie Basho, whom I have always loved.
