Looking for Blues with High Fidelity

Might Sam McClain
Sledgehammer Blues Pressing 

 

I know Johnny Winter has already been mentioned, but not sure about this album of his:

The Progressive Blues Experiment

Recorded in 1968 during his Austin days.  Just Johnny fronting a trio.  Such powerful, confident playing.  A classic.

There is a remastered version from 2005 on Capitol.

Also, if you want to pursue Clapton in particular, there is the "Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton" album.  The Amazon summary says: "Apart from being one of the most overall influential albums in Blues-Rock history, it was likely the first time anyone had heard a Gibson Les Paul guitar through an overdriven Marshall amplifier; this unique sound would become particularly influential."  An Amazon commenter says that the 2009 2-CD version is saturated, but that the 2001 reissue has great sound.

And there is also "Layla & Other Love Songs" by Derek & The Dominos, with the dream pairing of Clapton and Duane Allman.  This is one the rock end of the spectrum but there are several fine blues numbers on it.  There is a 40th Anniversary edition with additional tracks.

The  OP clearly asked for recommendations for Blues CDs with HIGH FIDELITY. 

Many here seem to be simply listing their favorite Blues CDs.
