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?

Rory Gallagher - Blues Rock. An absolute legend. A lot of decent quality recordings, but regardless, he will git you rockin’ with blues rock. Some of his songs have an Irish flair. But then, Rory was an Irish lad.

24/96 hi-res album on Qobuz; ‘Rory Gallagher 50th Anniversary Edition’

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
