Great albums that don't make audiophile lists


Oh man, so many to choose from. OK, here's a few in a couple of different styles that are not in the typical audiophile lists (in no perticular order). Pick a style that suits you and list your own "finds":

- Clayton Brothers - Back in the Swing of Things (horn based mowtown inflected jazz)
- anything by Big Phat Band (modern big band swing)
- Eric Bibb - Diamond Days (blues and voice)
- anything by Vienna Teng (pop/jazz female vocalist with a twist)
- Lee Ritenour - 6 String Theory (Rit and a bunch of guest artists in many styles)
- Eagles - Long Road out of Eden (somewhat recent release by them with great songs and sound)
- John McLaughlin - To the One (guitar fusion)
- John McLaughlin Trio - Live at the Royal Festioval Hall (acoustic fusion and percussion w/ Trilok Gurtu)
- Trilok Gurtu - Miles/Gurtu (jazz electronica and amazing percussion)
- Mavis Staples - You are Not Alone (gospel blues)
- anything by Oregon (ECM acoustic jazz)
- Pat Metheny - Secret Story (one of his solo albums)
- Robbie Robertson - How to Become Clairvoyant (blues inflected new songs by "The Band" lead)
- Tierney Sutton Band - American Road (just a great jazz & vocal album)
- Toots Thielmans - Brasil Project (jazz harmonica and bossa nova)

Enjoy,

Allen Toussaint "The Bright Mississippi".

Absolutely first rate for both music and sound in my book.
