Little Martha, by The Allman Brothers. Originally recorded with Berry Oakley's bass backing Duane Allman's sweet acoustic guitar licks. The bass was taken off of the version on the Eat a Peach album, but was left in on the box set version. Enjoy

Early Simon and Garfunkel albums had a lot of acoustic music on them. Several of my favorites are from the Sounds of Silence. I will lead off with this one.

Love Linda and The Eagles, but that is about as acoustic as a can of corn.
"Can of Corn" is also baseball slang. Per my friendly AI app:

"Can of corn" is a baseball term for a routine fly ball that is easy to catch and hit to an outfielder. The phrase may have originated in the late 19th or early 20th century when grocery clerks would use long sticks to reach canned goods on high shelves. The clerks would gently knock the cans down and catch them in their aprons, and some say the arc of the falling can inspired the term. The phrase may have also been used to describe something that is easy to accomplish.

The baseball term was not in my mind when the can of veggies came to mind. Maybe should have gone with can of lima beans.
