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?

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. 

Here's the title track from one of the better sounding blues albums from my collection. Play it loud and often...

Tab Benoit - "Nice and Warm"

 

Robben Ford and the Blue Line - S/T is an excellent blues/rock album with great sound quality. Not straight up blues, it's a rocker too. But Oh So Fine...
