What is your "evaluation cd"?

Loreena Mckennitt..the book of secrets.
..track..The Mummers' Dance followed by ..The Highwayman.

Soundtrack to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" - seems to be about the best recording I have - I play track #9 to evaluate changes.

Two favorites are Lucinda William's HDCD disc "Car Wheels On a Gravel Road"-- great soundstaging on a few tracks and excellent female vocals; and JJ Cale's CD "Guitar Man" for PRT, dynamics and natural male vocals. I also agree with Thefalls re: Loreena McKennitt's "Book of Secrets"-- excellent female vocals, and tremendous percussion. Cheers. Craig

Lawrence Juber *Collection* First track is the best rendition of Little Wing I've ever heard.

Sting *Dream Of The Blue Turtles* I usually start with Be Still My Beating Heart.

Then I try some Jazz, New Age and Classical

Natalie Merchant/Tiger Lilly, Patricia Barber/cafe blue HDCD, Jacintha/Autumn Leaves XRCD2, Eagles/Hell Freezes Over XRCD2, Dire Straits/Brothers In Arms XRCD2 and Fleetwood Mac/The Dance.
