This guy is amazing...although I don't think his recordings do him justice...
"Over a little over a decade, Junghans has released five records in Germany on Blue Moment Arts, and three in the United States on Portland-based Strange Attractors Audio House. On the first of the U.S. albums, 2001's Inside, Junghans combines Native American, Asian, and European classical styles, filtering all through his own unique experimental style. For 2002's splendid Waters in Azure, Junghans is said to have drawn inspiration from themes of "structure, space, and state" in creating wildly strange, organic compositions that merge minimalist technique, American blues, Eastern raga, and the folk guitar tradition. 2003's Rivers and Bridges is a rich series of meditations on the six- and twelve-string guitar that seem to explore the themes of the album's title while providing a stylistic link between Junghans's personal vision for the acoustic guitar and the legacy of Basho, John Fahey and the other guitarists of the Takoma label (one 17-minute piece here is titled "The Takoma Bridge Incident"). Like Basho and Fahey before him, Junghans uses his guitar as a luminous bridge between the soul of traditional and ethnic music and the intellect of modern experimental music."
That trancendental 7 gates of whatever album he did is crazy. I love it, but unfortunately my copy skips in a few places. If you ever find an extra clean one let me know.

that is a wonderful album that i have only found once ( personal copy )
I have one of his Takoma lp's, it's very nice. That one you see around with the Sphinx cover...easy to get.
I believe you're thinking of Peter Lang's LP The Thing At The Nursery Room Window on Takoma. It has a sphinx on the cover.
Speaking of Langs don't sleep on Mark Lang's Texas John Boscoe LP on Symposium.
Other acoustic folk things: George Cromarty/ Grassroots Guitar on Thistle Michael Gulezian/ Snow on Aardvark All the Suni McGrath LPs on Adelphi: Childgrove, The Call of the Mourning Dove, and Cornflower Suite Both Daniel Hecht LPs (pre-Windham Hill) are incredible. I have an extra of the first one, PM me if you need it (it's got some light marks.) And don't disrespect
There are many, many more: John Pell, Lloyd Garber, Ron Hudson, Albin Zak, etc.

I don't think I can do it justice, but it's one guy on some odd kind of guitar, playing spaced out, reverb heavy music.
Dan Lambert "Hot Time On The Old Town Tonight" is decent. In the footsteps of Fahey with more bottleneck throw in the mix. Co-sign on the earlier mention of Peter Walker, on Vanguard, featuring Jeremy Steig on flute if I'm not mistaken. Sir Richard Bishop on Revenant is essential as well.

Don't disrespect William Ackerman's first two on Windham Hill. If only the label had stayed in this mode.
One more: Billy Faier's Takoma LP. Fits right after Fahey on your shelf alphabetically.
Ahh, yes that's right!
