Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded

cashman and west--a song or two--excellent recording, good lyrics and harmony
buckingham and nicks--self title album--would have been interesting if they never joined fleetwood mac
dan fogleberg--homefree

"Me & Bobby McGee" by Gordon Lightfoot is very well recorded.

Soundtrack to Inside Llewyn Davis is great. IMO

I'm with Rcprince in the Byrds being a favorite. I bought some super-deal 5 CD set of their top albums on Amazon, but the sound quality really sucked. Are there any good remasters of Byrds albums?

If you like those harmonies and format,the Roches (three sisters) are spectacular, but occasionally quirky. They have that harmonic blend that only siblings like the Everly Brothers or the Andrew Sisters had, and are Greenwich Village urban folk (literally and aurally.) Either Moonswept or "The Roches" are good intros.
