I'm looking for more artists in the tradition of Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash. I've listened these to death but I love that music and want more os the same...

Sigur Rós

Tim Buckley...Nick Drake...Nick Cave...Tom Waits

GoneSavage

to add to that good list, Mark Lanegan solo.

imawombat

elliott smith, lou barlow, joseph arthur
these things do happen

Donovan and, I would suggest Cat Stevens, but he's not necessarily as depressing...

Agree with the above response and particularly with Tom Waits.  Also would recommend Bob Dylan in case you hadn't thought of him.   Time out of Mind and Love and Death are both great more recent albums.  Daniel Lanois' solo albums are really good too, check out Shine and For the Beauty of Wynona.  Another singer-songwriter with an unmistakable voice but also great lyrics is Ron Sexsmith.  That's all I can think of right now...
I just met a wonderful new man. He's fictional but you can't have everything.

Gamblour.

Tim Reynolds - his guitar playing is probably more progressive than you're looking for though.
WWPTAD?

tim reynolds sucks.

but on the more folksy side of things:
greg brown, danny donnelly, vince gill, and m. ward.

A very amazing band you speak of.  Saw them live once, and they put on a hell of a show.
