Hi - sorry for jumping in as well on this topic. With the exception of Tom Russell I have heard of all of the singer/songwriters you mentioned in your post, even though in some cases I have only encountered their compositions as opposed to their actual voices(like Fred Neil, who wrote "Everybody´s Taking" and other great tunes if my memory serves me right).
There are not too many singer/songwriters around that could hold a candle to Gordon but three come to my mind that I´d like to put to your attention as well:
Dan Fogelberg, John Denver, and Hoyt Axton.
Unfortunately John and Hoyt are no longer with us, but all of their careers started in the late Sixties/early Seventies as well and they have provided us with a lot of excellent music and lyrics, at least in my humble opinion.
