For a lot of years Famous Blue Raincoat was considered the top release to use when auditioning new speakers. I have both versions of the CD - the original and the remastered fully digital anniversary version. I bought the anniversary version to see if it had better sound quality, some songs sound better, but not all.

I would rate Ry Cooder's 'Buena Vista Social Club' very highly in terms of recording.
'The purpose of life is a life of purpose' - Athena Orchard.

Q: When is a hijack not a hijack?
A: When an answer leads to other Q&A in the same vein, another bend in the road, as happened here.
I'd heard about the 2 more prominent pieces (own them, actually) but was so enamored of R_burke's mentioned Trio that I researched and bought both, and will be following up with a Thread. As a teaser, here are 2 reviews of CDs by them:
http://www.allmusic.com/album/preachin-t...0000117452 and
http://www.allmusic.com/album/harp-steel...0000088787 << Sonic quality is as much a credit to their record company as them:
http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/ << they make sonic and audio products so you'd figure them to be sticklers about what they record and issue.
