Best Guitar CD Recording

For something different, try Guitar Workshop, Volume One, on the British Transatlantic/Castle label (CD and LP). This is a British analog recording from 1972/73 and has the best guitar sound I've ever heard. It's also a lot of fun and offers great variety, featuring nine guitarists playing quite different-sounding pieces on a variety of different-sounding guitars (all acoustic). A classic recording. (Unfortunately, Volume Two isn't as good.)

I love the responses, some written with great passion for the music.

Vince,
I think you'd really enjoy Alex de Grassi. He's a Windham Hill guitarist, and you're welcome to hear a disc I have of his. The recording is outstanding, and the music has that signature Windham Hill sound.

Thanks Boa, now that the Holiday madness is over I can make time for audio interests.

Jerry Douglas is the amazing dobro player for Alison Krauss. His recent cd "Lookout for Hope" is a close miked show off disc. I also happen to like the music, but even if you don't love the music, it's hard not to love the playing.

Also, there is a version of Terry Evans' "Puttin it Down" that features very impressively recorded acoustic guitar and kick drum. Sorry, don't know the specifics of the release, but some others might.
