Been listening to these two a ton on YouTube videos. If I like them, who else will I like?
Basically a guy and a guitar. Maybe some stuff that did not get killed on top40 radio back in the 70's.
I was young when Croce died (Zero) so my memory is spotty.

ELO
Dan Fogelberg
Loggins and Messina

Especially Fogelberg. He's one of those musicians that everyone knows his songs, but don't know who sang them.

Here are some of the songs that I typically do on an open mic set when it is a bit dead:
Jim Croce - Don't Mess Around with Jim
Bruce Springsteen - Highway Patrolman
Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Gordon Lightfoot - Big Steel Rail Blues
Johnny Cash - Big River
Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues
Neil Young - Old Man
James Taylor - Country Road
Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer
Marty Robbins - Big Iron
Marty Robbins - Devil Woman
Townes Van Zandt - Tecumseh Valley
Townes Van Zandt - Pancho and Lefty
Townes Van Zandt - Snowing on Raton
Townes Van Zandt - If I Needed You
Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers (as sung by TVZ)
John Prine - Paradise
John Prine - Angel from Montgomery
John Prine - Sam Stone
John Prine - Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore
John Prine - Grandpa Was a Carpenter
Kris Kristofferson - Best of All Possible Worlds
Kris Kristofferson - If You Don't Like Hank Williams
These are all stuff (mostly older stuff) that can be sung and played pretty coarsely...Timeless...awesome songs.

Sorry. James Taylor can be checked off the list. Got him covered.

John Prine is somebody I've meant to check out but never did.
Like a book you don't get around to reading.
Also just a lyric? "There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes...."
Artist?
Song title?
I want to track that one down for that lyric alone.
ETA. I am a dumbass. It's already here.

Already back from YouTube. First comment I saw was gold. "The only thing sadder than a junkie, is john Prine singing about a junkie."

Some others...
If you're in a mellow mood, Bread.
A country mood, Tom T. Hall.
Jim Croce was the best. It's hard to believe to sheer volume of great songs he produced in a two year period once he hit his stride.
Tip of the hat too to his guitar foil, Maury Muehleisen.
