What albums are like picrel. Ive heard elliott smith and sufjan, but not like those. This is truly just a man with just his guitar. Something that is just a dusk like feeling of a man all alone playing his guitar, and saying a few vague but meaningful lines. Im guessing bob dylan, but what else besides that?

Not just a guy with a guitar, but this has a similar energy.
honestly old blues or country
woody guthrie
do you know if they have that lonely feeling nick drake has?
woody guthrie literally sings about the american southwest in the 1940s before it was developed
is there anything more lonely?
fair

Tyler Larson is what you are searching for.
dust bowl ballads
A virtuoso guitarist and excellent songwriter.
Somewhat different vibes but I often associate Nick Drake with Jeff Buckley
Hmmm, not really what I'm looking for, but it's good.
thx
Best response so far. This is it.
Poastin stone-cold classics, in case you haven't heard em.
Robbie Basho's more melodic and straightforward playing, though he is oftenmore of a free-wheeling Primitivist

Jackson C Frank, for a less veiled and sublimated kind of despair than Nick Drake's - infamously scarred in a fire, then shot in the face while homeless. Drake covered several of his songs on the family tree compilation.

These are all classic and brilliant, but there's something very unique to Nick Drake that just can't be replicated.
It's his academic, English upper-class upbringing. The overall sophistication to his approach, contrasted by his youthful ignorance.
The feeling he evokes is very specific to middle/upper-class kids with depression, where they're left guilty for feeling so dour despite having everything. His music perfectly incapsulates that silver-spoon depressive melancholy.
In a lot of ways he was very mature and wise, and this came across in his rich, intricate, introspective songwriting; but in many other ways he was a dumb, selfish kid.
California by American Music Club has some of my favorite sad acoustic songs on it. definitely give that one a listen

Did you mix up responses? Bert Jansch sounds like exactly what you are looking for, not so sold on Tyler Larson.
You're just not in on the may-may.
Larson is a shit-tier YouTuber who makes guitar demo vids. He put out his own music, and it's beyond awful - hence the shit-posting
