Keeping myself away from classical music recommendations for a moment...
Paul Simon, Graceland - Columbia 25447 (yes, it's got a bit of digital edge to it, but marvelously recorded and performed otherwise. Just play "Under African Skies" for a real sonic delight.)
Sonny Boy Williamson, Keep It To Ourselves - Alligator AL 4787
Linda Ronstadt, For Sentimental Reasons - Asylum 60474
ZZ Top, Tres Hombres - London XPS 631 (yes, the Steve Hoffman mastered reissue from Rhino is really good.)
Emerald Forest, Soundtrack - Varese Saraband STV 81244 (outstandingly good)
After the Ball, Joan Morris and William Bolcom - Nonesuch H 71304 (takes me days to get this record out of my head each time I hear it.)
