Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl

Mickey Baker “Blues and Jazz Guitar”. Mostly acoustic and he is joined by Stefan Grossman who produced the lp. Excellent. Acoustic Alchemy for jazz-pop genre but excellent recording and strong melodies. Leo Kottke of course. Jorma. Larry Coryell made a couple lps with Phillip Catherine that are pure acoustic duos. Andy Summers made a couple of stunning acoustics guitar duo CDs , but I have looked high and low for these on vinyl to no avail. Any of the Brazilian masters lps are easily found in used record stores, i.e. Laurindo Almmeida solo or w/ Charlie Byrd. John Abercrombie and Ralph Tower (ECM label). I love acoustic guitar and will follow this thread. Keep em’coming! 

@seikosha I love Jose Neto’s playing on the Flora Purim lps and have looked for his solo work. Thank you for posting!

The Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins album Neck and Neck has some extremely tasty acoustic playing on it.

Also, Standard Brands - Chet duetting with Lenny Breau.

Or anything by either player individually.

+ 1 John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucia, AL Dimeola- Friday night in San Francisco

A live recording that captures a magical moment. The energy between the guitarists and the fans is palpable.

Yazoo Records made wonderful compilation albums of those beautiful 78s made by the likes of Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Bo Carter, Skip James, Blind Willie McTell, Scrapper Blackwell and others.

Their sister label, Blue Goose, is another good source for vinyl in this vein.

Not sure about best vinyl sources but Son House is awesome.  

Lightnin’ Hopkins. Leadbelly. 

Unfortunately can’t speak to vinyl pressings with any specificity, but nobody beats Django Reinhardt.

Leo Kottke’s an amazing player

Bert Jansch is wonderful

I think Chet Atkins is a god but a lot is he and his gorgeous Gretsch, not acoustic.
