The best acoustic guitar recordings??

Rodriguo y Gabriela. Beautiful, electrifying, great music and their albums are nearly all reference quality for showing off systems...kinda the best of both worlds for me.

2 acoustic guitars playing Spanish, rock, elaborate intricate and fiery renditions of Dave Brubeck...these two are super-creative. their Live in Japan album is great.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Ry Cooder and VM Bhatt "Meeting by the River" is very interesting music by 2 great players. It is beautifully recorded, too. Cooder plays guitar, but Bhatt plays a variety of acoustic stringed instruments from India - so it is just a little OT. IMHO, it's well worth checking out and in the spirit of the OP.

Live recording, in memory of former keyboardists, nice recording blues and folk feel, reorded at Fillmore East New York.

Jerry Garcia and David Grisman: Shady grove: well recorded bluegrass very nice

jerry garcia and david grisman pizza tapes: ray but really earthy on the spot feel: great house of the rising sun version IMHO

John Williams: The Seville Concert Classical very nice recording and selection

Jack Rose: luck in the valley: folk music well record no vocals

Darkstar1 - Thanks for that...totally agree on Pizza Tapes...what a great album, a lot of fun, great story behind it, and great sound quality too.

I will look into Jack Rose...curious. never heard of it.

Also, I would add:

Wynton Marsalis & Willie Nelson. Two Men with the Blues
Buddy Guy/Junior Wells. Alone and Acoustic
