Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded

Richard Thompson has a number of great sounding albums. From the rock perspective Shoot out the Lights is highly regarded. From the folk perspective (perhaps a bit of a stretch) I think Rumor and Sigh is his best album.

a great website where you can get info on artists & hear a constant stream of assorted folk oriented music is www.folkalley.com

Tom Russell, the man from god knows where (recommended)

A well recorded and excellent album would be Hank Dogs 'Bareback'. Acoustic guitar and twin female vocals in the Fairport style.
Second would be the Cowboy's Junkies 'Trinity Sessions' - alot of audiophiles rave about this recording quality, music is PFG too.

I've been impressed with what I've heard on Red House Records. Check out anything by Hart-Rouge or Guy Davis.
