Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded

Soundtrack to Inside Llewyn Davis is great. IMO

I'm with Rcprince in the Byrds being a favorite. I bought some super-deal 5 CD set of their top albums on Amazon, but the sound quality really sucked. Are there any good remasters of Byrds albums?

If you like those harmonies and format,the Roches (three sisters) are spectacular, but occasionally quirky. They have that harmonic blend that only siblings like the Everly Brothers or the Andrew Sisters had, and are Greenwich Village urban folk (literally and aurally.) Either Moonswept or "The Roches" are good intros.

I'd look for Pentangle and Fairport Convention albums. SQ is variable, but the songwriting and playing (Bert Jansch and John Renbourn in Pentangle, Richard Thompson in Fairport) make any and all of these albums essential guitar folk IMO.

I hadn't thought of The Everly Brothers as Folk-Rock, but their 50's and 60's recordings feature great sound. I have the British Ace label reissue and collection LP's, which sound better than the Rhino LP's. Great, great music. They had the best songwriters and studio musicians of the time, and greatly influenced Lennon & McCartney, whose vocal harmonies were merely exact copies of the Brothers'.
