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?

Muddy Waters “Folk Singer” on MFSL and Lightning Hopkins “Goin Away” Acoustic Sounds Reissue are two of my faves for SQ and music.

Buddy Guy's album "Bring 'Em In" is worth having if only for the duet with Tracy Chapman of "Ain't No Sunshine."

Muddy Waters and Etta James recent releases from the Montreux years series are well recorded sound great and also have MQA .

I find Buddy Guy and Junior Wells' "Alone and Acoustic" to have pretty good sonics.  My version of this CD is on the Alligator label.

Audioquest put out a release on CD and SACD called Bluesquest. I have the CD and it is *very* well recorded.
