looking for a recording with nice wide soundstage

So I finally dialed in my room. I picked up some acoustic panels from an audio store that was going out of business and now everything sounds fantastic. That was the missing link in the room. Roger Waters Amused to Death album sounds scary good with sounds coming from behind and either side on a 2 channel system.
Looking for some suggestions on CDs that have a very wide sound stage. I once heard a demo years ago of a pair of Watt puppys and two tracks transported me from a smokey little jazz club to a huge arena. Looking for some suggestions to do the same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Just played Runnin's suggestion; he is right, its awesome. Made me realize, once again, I need to change nothing in my setup other than better recorded music. The single thing over which I have zero control. But, I am a happy man here. Satisfied. Not envious of anything else out there. Its good enough for me. For all time.

Funny, I just picked up the Buddy miller cd noted above from the library. I have always liked River's Going To Run but forgot about most of the other cuts, As Rpeluso says, when you are questioning your system pull out a few well recorded discs to double check your thinking. Too many months of average SQ music (especially recent stuff) will make you forget what you actually have.

PS - who knew Buddy would become such a star, leading RP's Band of Joy and all the Americana Awards bands. If you haven't seen some of these shows seek them out - they repeat on cable fairly regularly.
