Staying just in the '90s, see list below. Although the '90s were a golden era for alt-country, they were sort of slim pickin's for folk, IMO. Folk really has had a renaissance in the early 2000s that has continued through to today. Let me know if you want recommendations for that era.
Elliot Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, Lullaby for the Working Class, Silver Jews, Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co., Bright Eyes (early career), Sebadoh, Jeff Buckley (well, he's straight-up rock, but folksy), The Mountain Goats (early career), Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Son Volt, Bottle Rocket, Blood Oranges (not to be confused with R&B act Blood Orange), Whiskeytown, Gillian Welch, Drive-By Truckers (early career), Bela Fleck (solo)... it's a rich area...
this lady was being called 'the next elliott smith' for about ten minutes in 1998. Don't know if it still holds up.

In that moment, for a few seconds, Renee Zellweger is my spirit animal LOL
Anyway, why not just go with Gin Blossoms, if that's the mood you're going for?
New Miserable Experience still kinda holds up.
Another album that holds up way better than it had any right to is Third Eye Blind. Damn, son, the feels.
