I got 2 that no one has mentioned here. My music style goes all over the place, except for country, thats ghey. But I am pretty confident in recomending these two if its your style.
First: The Nightwatchman: One man revolution
Tom Morello's acoustic first solo album.

Holy shitbox! His voice is haunting in some of these songs and you can feel his message and beliefs in your ear. "House gone up in flame" is probaby the greatest acoustic song I have heard since Cash. Seriously. Its some folky stuff, but powerful. Whether you believe in his message or not, its well worth if if you love acoustic/modern folk. "one man revolution" and "the road i must travel" are also outstanding tracks, right now off the top of my head
Second: Brother Ali: The undisputed truth.

Stumbled accros this earlier today and spinning it through for the second time already. Powerful voice. Old school rap feel. They guy is smooth, lyrically. First song "watcha got" is all you have to listen to, then you are hooked like its been in your heavy roation for weeks.
