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?

Blues "light" maybe but

Robert Cray Band - Heavy Picks has a fine, clean (sophisticated) sound

Boz Scaggs - Dig

Fleetwood Mac - S/T

Excellent!  Thanks to all of you for the suggestions.  I love finding music I have not listened to before.

Happy listening.

Hans Theessink, Robben Ford, and Robert Cray as mentioned above. I also find Tedeschi Trucks Band albums very well recorded (and great playing). Keb Mo’s albums are also some of the better blues recordings out there.

"Come On Home" by Boz Scaggs is more bluesy R&B than Blues but it's a terrific sounding disc and the playing/singing is excellent.
