Interesting picks. Musicians never follow the rules do they!?
Don't leave out Chester & Lester! Chet Atkins and Les Paul are simply amazing together.
Great idea C-folks! You should ask all visiting artists for same. I'll have to mull the list over for awhile but 3 CDs I'd add off the top are Johnny A's "Sometime Tuesday Morning" & "Get Inside" & Monte Montgomery's self-titled CD. I've seen Johnny A numerous times @ Canal Street and dug him deep each time. I saw Monte last Saturday and it well may be the best show I've EVER seen @ Canal (& that's saying tons). Shall return...
Two to not exclude:
Pat Metheny - American Garage
George Benson - Breezin'
If you're looking for a few off the beaten path...For some great Cajun guitar I love David Doucet's "1957", for Brazilian, Joao Gilberto's "Live In Montreux" and Baden Powell's "Felicidade." And to hear one of the under appreciated guitar players of all time, listen to Oscar Moore on Nat King Cole's "King Cole Trio." And what about Doc Watson, or Charlie Byrd, and soooo many others?
