great 70s country lps...audophile grade

Oops, I meant blurgrass. To me it's more New Orleans jazz/ dixieland....

Haggard has always been very picky about his recordings and I suspect his stuff is well done. I have so very few country albums that I'm not sure. Another artist that I would look for is Don Williams. Everything I have of his is very well recorded.

Any Willie Nelson LP (Statdust) mastered by Bernie Grudman.

How about some Kris Kristifferson? I really enjoy listening to Silver Tongued Devil & I, and Border Lord (though not so much his first album on vinyl, for some reason).

Also Waylon/Honky Tonk Heroes sounds pretty awesome to me.

+Ebm! I'll go further. Stardust by anyone.
