Totally agree with you definition. Here's my suggestions.
Canada. Joni is a solid choice, but Gordon lightfoot, Murray McLaughlin, Bruce Cockburn and Stompin Tom conners all have a case to be made.
USA. You have go consider Pete or arlo Guthrie.
UK. Dean McCool hands down.
Australia. Although not native born, Eric bogle gets my nod.
