good sounding cd's

hi again a'goners. ok, heres my question/dilemna?! just about got my system teaked out, new pc, upgraded cdp. while most of my cd's sound good, others just sound awesome, like what you expect them all to sound like with the money invested. case in point: john fogerty's "revival" cd. another one is johnny a's "get inside". anyone have any suggestions on really great sounding music out there in the blues, blues/rock, fusion genre? thanks again.

With your tastes, I think you would find:

Willy Porter - Across a Wire (live), superb

He is an amazing guitarist and kind of under the radar.

This CD always has me questioning my devotion to SACD as always a cleary superior medium.

Have Fun!
