The best acoustic guitar recordings??

Paco De Lucia, "Entre Dos Anos" and Larry Coryell and Philip Catherine, "Twin House" both on LP. On CD I would recommend The Steve Greene Trio, "Acoustic Living" which features the sonds of the great acoustic, archtop guitars. Just two guitars and a bass, this was recorded on Neumann U87 and TLM-170 mikes. Thanks to the crew at Sennheiser for recommending this one!

Perhaps too obvious, but Pat Metheny's "One Quiet Night".

drjoe,superb recomendation!!!

Steve Hackett "Sketches of Satie" is pretty good. Classical acoustic guitar + flute though.

Hackett also has a DVD called Hungarian Horizons that features him playing acoustic guitar with some accompaniment in a live concert that I would recommend.

Chet Atkins put out lots of great acoustic guitar oriented stuff over the years. Check amazon for titles.

Also on a Genesis guitarist note, many of Anthony Phillips "Private Parts and Pieces" series is excellent as well. I've heard mostly vinyl of this series, but they mostly sound terrific. His work on the Genesis album "Trespass" always provides me goosebumps.

Clapton unplugged.
Joan Baez Diamonds and Rust
Paul Kelly Live 1992
John Williams Concerto Aranjuez

and pretty much anything by Keb Mo as they are all well recorded - especially Slow down.
