Looking for Blues with High Fidelity


I recently listened to Eric Clapton’s “Me and Mr. Johnson” and really appreciated the guitar playing and the quality of the recording.  What are some of your favorite Blues recordings?

Savoy Brown last 2 lps - City Nights and Ain’t Done Yet. Fantastic playing and recording. Full analog sound. Also,Analogue Productions has a series of live blues direct to disc. The Diunna Greenleaf one is super.

Muddy Waters: Hard Again. Amazing in every way

”Mannish Boy” is so good, it’s just spooky

 

(RL Burnside, “A Ass Pocket of Whiskey”, for the title alone. Album is great fun)

Great thread! A ton of music to go listen to

Have a great day, everyone

Keb Mo & Taj Mahah is a great listen.  Music is great and dynamics are outstanding from low end to top. I listen to it often. I downloaded a version from a high resolution service stored on my laptop with USB filtering devices and a high end USB cable.   I have a dedicated hybrid tube DAC I use just for high res downloads.  I also stream from Tidal and Spotify.  But, still I enjoy the hi-res downloaded file best and, never tire of listening to these classic blues artists. Enjoy!

Johnny Winter 3rd Degree, Kim Simmonds & Savoy Brown The Devil to Pay and Buddy Guy The Blues is Alive and Well

Can't believe no one mentioned Champion Jack DuPree [might have misspelled last name].  Champion Jack moved to Europe years ago to escape American racism.  He passed a few years back, but his albums remain for eternity. 

Champion Jack is on my "Must Have" list.
