How about Joe Wilder on 'Wilder, Wilder, Wilder, on the Savoy label. Hi Fidelity is still the way to hear realism. As far as stereo gos my favorite is Roy Gaines 'I Got the T-Bone Walker Blues'. Check out I'm in an awful mood. I still think that some of the best sounds were obtained by producer Jay Miller on his Excello recordings. They were Mono kicked up a few notches.
