Most musical CD / album ? need recommendation

Easy to listen would be more melody oriented media, but musical is I guess where the music is more than melody.

I can listen to almost anything by Chet Atkins for as long as they will play.

The only thing I don't like about Chet that he'd only cover at most and not too many songs of his own.

Chet did what he did best, play guitar and produce music. He was not a songwriter. Didn't need to be. But he's one stop shopping for fantastic and accessible instrumental interpretations of many tunes by many artists. One of the most listenable and "musical" artists ever IMHO.

Been looking to dig into some Merle Travis in the near future as well. He was a big influence on Atkins and many a guitar player as well.

Can't beat This for a most musical 8 albums on 4 CDs with great sound and for dirt cheap.
