What are your Perfect or near perfect albums in your collection?

I generated this post to find some sleeper albums, no specific genre, that we as music lovers hold in high esteem and is meant to be never ending. As we all know as soon as we list, a few more surface as we play and listen, so feel free to add as you go. I will start with 6 of my own, so please enjoy. Shelby Lynne/Just a Little Lovin', Rolling Stones/Sticky Fingers, Allan Toussaint/Song Book, Little Feat/Waiting on Columbus, Jimmy Witherspoon featuring Ben Webster/Roots, & Van Morrison/His Band and the Street Choir.

Everytime I put on Muddy Waters "Folk Singer"... I am wow'd!  Ray Brown "Soular,  Energy", Lucinda Williams "At Filmore West", ...a few.

Monkey House’s albums Friday and Crash Box will blow you away with their clarity and musicianship. A Canadian group that deserves a lot of respect in my book.

In my opinion, any album that I can happily listen to every single track with a smile on my face is a Perfect album.  I have so many I can’t pick just one.

From Michel Petrucciani to Michael Franks to Bill Evans to The Beatles to Jefferson Airplane to Lou Donaldson to Kenny Burrell….
