Acoustic Guitar CD Recording/track to test Spkrs?

Gods5aces: I'd be interested in learning which of your choices would be the first one a "newbie" should acquire.

I agree first hand with Laurence Juber *Collection* and Don Ross *Huron Street* though this one is a bit technical.
I'd also like to add Alex DeGrassi *The Water Garden* & *Bolivian Blues Bar* to the list of excellent Acoustic guitar CD's.

Don't forget Michael Hedges! talk about 6 arms!!

Lots of Choices above. How bout Martin Simpson's "Cool and Unusual" or if you like traditional American Gospel "A Closer Walk With Thee" by Simpson is beautiful.

the first Rice and Grisman album "Tone Poems"

If you like more country Norman Blake's early 70s effort, "Whiskey before Breakfast", is still one of my favorite in your lap flatpickin LPs.

I remain,

I like "Little Lion" by Brooks Williams. Nicely recorded solo and duo (overdubbed x 1) guitar. Also use "Tone Poems" mentioned above. Also Larry Coryell acoustic discs (for acoustic jazz that is first rate--again either solo or over dubbed acoustic guitar) (rare) such as "Twelve Frets to One Octave"--look for a used one at amazon.com.
