The debut that single-handedly revived blues-guitar in the 1980s, all fire and feel. Virtuosic without losing the groove. A modern blues landmark. Top of their ranked list for a reason — start here.
On vinyl: '80s originals are plentiful and usually affordable; reissues tend to be cleaner but pricier.
