Great country music recording

ALLISON KRAUSE THE VOICE OF A COUNTRY ANGEL

Any Lyle Lovett, he is great. I especially like his double set Step Inside This Old House.

Hal Ketchum's Greatest Hits. Not the best recorded CD but really great music.

John Berry's Greates Hits, awesome album sonically and musically.

I have not heard it YET but I think Willie Nelson's Stardust is supposed to be very good.

Regards,

Lucinda Williams "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" Good music
all the way thru, no steel guitar tho. Very good recording,
and a Grammy winner to boot.

A while back I was in an audio shop to listen to a few pair of Sonus Faber speakers, and that was one of their demo discs, the fist country music purchase ever for me.

Here's a few that are borderline fusion with a bit of bluegrass infleuence:

Gillian Welch - Hell Among the Yearlings and Revival
The Be Good Tanya's - Blue Horse
Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball
Richard Buckner - Devotiion and Doubt, Self-titled acoustic album, and Bloomed

PS I think Markanetz meant "Ry Cooder" (not Ray), and I'd second that recommendation.

One of my favorite cd's is Mary Chapin Carpenter's "C'mon, C'mon". Beautiful voice and guitar.

Excellent recording and every slow song (about half the tracks on the cd) is beatifully done.
