What is the best sounding HDCD?

I've listened to Willie Nelson's "Teatro" several times this week and am impressed with the its wondeful sonic quality. This HDCD encoded disc really puts the musicians in the room with you, and the songs ain't half bad either.
There have been quite a few threads here where members are looking for HDCDs in general. I'm wondering what you consider the best recorded HDCD disc? The music is not the question here because that's just too subjective.
BTW another great sounding HDCD is "A Nod to Bob." This compilation disc, on Red House Records, was put together to honor Bob Dylan on his 60th birthday by the label's talent. Fabulous sound along with great songs. Enjoy.

Just ordered the John Hammond cd. I'll give it a listen and get back on it. Thanks for tip.
I have a copy of Chris Isaak's Baha sessions but haven't really listened to it yet, must get to it. As for Joni Mitchell, her HDCD discs are great. Besides the obvious masterpieces "Blue" and "Court and Spark" I really like "Turbulent Indigo."

Recvd the John Hammond cd today. The sound quality is exceptional. I'll have to listen to this a few more times to get a feel for the music but it is promising. Thanks for the tip Herve1 and Mang53. Finding music of this type is what this site is best for.

Put John Prine's "Souneviers" cd in last night and noticed the HDCD indicator came on. No indication on the cd or packaging. It has a very nice, relaxed sound.
