@boxer12, the Old & In The Way album is in fantastic sound quality, isn’t it?! It’s original release was on the audiophile label Acoustic Disc. I used it as audition material back in the ’70’s. T Bone Burnett’s Truth Decay on Takoma does too (be sure to get the version pressed by Chrysalis Records; the mastering engineer who did the version pressed by Allegiance cut off the ending of the song, after the false ending. Impatient! ;-).
Speaking of Desert Rose, Chris Hillman’s Sugar Hill Records albums are great musically and sonically, assuming you don’t mind Bluegrass. Chris and fellow Desert Rose Band member Herb Pedersen have done a bunch of albums together. And the lead guitarist of The Desert Rose Band---John Jorgenson---was in the instrumental guitar trio The Hellecasters. Like Los Straitjackets, but on a virtuoso level.
