There is some blues from the 50s and 60s that I think is complimented by scratchy vinyl. Makes it feel like more of a period work. I'd rather listen to my very worn Prestige Mose Allison records on Prestige - even with all the noise - than the CD version any day. That's just my odd opinion of course. No right or wrong. enjoy the tunes.
Audiophile blues...
I have Muddy Waters folk singer and Lightning hopkins Going away. ..both stellar...any other quality blues from this era?..
