Great recordings. I love Folk Singer (my favorite version is the Acoustics Sounds 45rpm vinyl). I hadn’t heard “Alone & Acoustic” before and really like it. Thanks for the recommendation.

I second that, great recording but especially this one is hard to get and expensive. All dmp recordings are exceptionally good. Other CDs are cheaper and easier to get e.g. the Thom Rotella stuff.
Here is a list:
A ton of great musicians helping out, including Aaron Neville, Michael Landau, Dean Parks, Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel, Brian Wilson, and the Tower of Power horns. Brilliantly produced by Peter Asher, this was a sonic revelation for me in the late 80s, and still holds up well today.I believe that a 192/24 version was issued by Rhino, but I haven’t heard that.
Ok, Stockfish records, very popular by audiophiles in Germany.
If Kari Bremnes is the Queen of the Munich high end show than Allan Taylor is the King. He also played live there and he is also, as Sarah K., at Stockfish records.
These are not the most natural records, everything is a bit over emphasised and pleasing. This is the style of Jens Pauler who recorded many of the Stockfish record. A lot of people do not like this style, but I find it nice to listen to anyway.
If you listen to excellent „old school“ recordings on red book 16/44 CDs you would never thought high res is something one needs. Recording and mastering is way more important than sample rate and bit depth.
This is a good example: One of the best recorded and engineered classical recordings I have heard recently - especially the quality of the bass and string sections. Amazing in both Hi Res and 16/44.
16/44 and all that
