I'm going to try and kick this thread off without elaborating too much on the title.
I love the storyteller performers - Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton are two of the most obvious (and greatest) exponents but there are many others (Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan - the list is very long.....).
I'm listening to Mary Chapin Carpenter at the moment. I love her songs and her voice and the way she makes it all sound so easy.
Would be interested to hear songs from your favourites that don't get quite the same attention.
There are two versions of this song and I'm going to post both - one is recent and one is about 25 years old.

I'm sure I've shared this before, but James McMurtry is one of my favourite storyteller songwriters:

The Grey Funnel Line was the nickname crews gave to the ships of the Royal Navy.

With one of my favorite couplets ... With them windscreen wipers slappin time And Bobby clappin hands KK is one of the great songwriters and story teller. And of course, Sunday Morning Coming Down is brilliant as a story (pity its so bl**dy miserable; no redemption or light at the end of the tunnel here!). FFJ
