Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded


Just wanting to hear from you smarties on your recommended best sounding, most fulfilling,folk/rock recording CD's. Simple as that.....thanks. Let's have fun. Dave.
canucks

Eva Cassidy’s Songbird is a live recording in a small nightclub & sounds excellent on Qobuz. Some of the most beautiful female vocals you’ll ever hear from a super talented musician. Sad one folk, done blues, some older classics. Very realistic live sound. Don’t miss it. 

I'll second Trinity Sessions by the Cowboy Junkies, and Joni Mitchell's Blue.  Most anything GIllian Welch and/or David Rawlings record is well-recorded.  Joan Baez's debut album is beautifully simple.  The Avett Brothers' I and Love and You.  Most albums by the Wood Brothers.

  • Jackson Browne - Solo Acoustic Vol. 1 & 2
  • Paul Westerberg - Folker... Stereo... Mono
  • Wilco - A.M.
  • Rosanne Cash - The List
  • Ray LaMontagne - Trouble

The soundtrack to “Inside Llewelyn Davis” is excellent. Great movie as well, IMO

In terms of British folk-rock the greatest, and at the same time most uncelebrated, band is Five Hand Reel.
