Probably the most universal singer-songwriter that respresents American culture is Bob Dylan because he spoke for a generation.

Billie Holiday had a beautiful voice but a tragic life.

Carole King.

Joni Mitchell.

Sandy Denny, if you want to get really unique. Great singer - another tragic life ended quickly.

Hope that helps.

jeff buckley is amazing,
but i would try conor oberst.
he is my favorite poet/song writter in the world.
his lyrics contain heavy symbolism (especially his fevers & mirrors album) but its not too hard to figure out.

elvis presley
