The Complete Imperial Recordings by Snooks Eaglin
I adore Snooks Eaglin's acoustic work so much that I never bought any records where he's on electric. And yet his dream was of being a recognized electric guitarist. So when I found this anthology in a flea market I decided to give it a shot. And frankly it's amazing. Sure, the incredible arrangements that he would play on acoustic, giving that impression that there's a second guitarist backing him, are not there, but his guitar playing is just as distinctive on electric as it is on acoustic. His voice is just as mellow and relaxed. It's just a joy to listen to.
