Acoustic Guitar CD Recording/track to test Spkrs?

In addition to Eric Clapton's "UNPLUGGED", check out Ralph Towner's "ANTHEM"...

No question about it, CFB's above recommendation of Steven Stills, "Stills Alone" CD and the "Treetop Flier" track in particular, is one of the most amazingly real CDs out there. Being a huge Stills fan, I purchased it as soon as it was released, since I saw him do it live (treetop) at a CSN concert years back. This particular track was written many moons ago in the 70s (like "Southern Cross" was) and released 20 years later. Alas this CD on an independant label is out of print.......Frank

try JOhn HIatt's "Muddy Waters" cd - all acoustic and solo voice

also Harvest Moon by Neil Young
the live Ricki Lee Jones disc
Suzanne Vega's first album

Mood FOr a Day off YEs Fragile
and Horizon's off Genesis Nursery Crime

enjoy

Michael Hedges Aerial Boundaries has some of the most beautifully recorded and technically amazing playing I've heard.

Almost forgot, William Ackerman's Past Light (Windham Hill label).

A fantastic cd recorded in 1983 and yes, it does contain some digital hash. But still an excellent recording. The music itself is almost mesmerizing track after track with some of the most steel strings you'll hear on an acoustic guitar. Along with a clarinet, a cello, and some the sweetest and most adrenalin filling violin I've heard on tracks 6 and 9.

If you can't tell by now, I have played this cd more than once.
