The Best???? 
I can give you some things to listen to:
Sonny Rhodes has a few bluesy lap steel CD's out. Check out Jackson Browne's CD's from the 70's with David Lindley on lap steel. Great stuff.
If you like BLUES....you can take any slide guitar solo and play it on lap steel so long as there's no fretting involved. |

I think the "Allison Krause and Union Station" is a great motivator as Jerry Douglas rocks her music on Dobro. Anything with him, Mike Auldrige for Lap, Jerry Byrd, Hank Williams, Asleep at the wheel, Bob Wills, Spade Cooley any of these:

good instructional's are the dobro and lap steel videos from Cindy CashDollar

Timothy I recommend Andy Volk's books on lap steel. You'll learn a whole bunch about what your listening to. I always go to his book when I hear a song like to dig into whats going on.
Lots of great interviews and tunings. You need these if your playing lap.

Hi -
I'm surprised that Tom Morrell has not been mentioned. Every single CD leaves me in awe ... and the occasional track he played on dobro just kill me!

Ulrich - Can you recommend a good Tom Morrell CD - one where he uses that 10-string non-pedal E13th tuning maybe?

If I had to pick just 1 Tom Morell CD:
How The West Was Swung - Vol. 4/13 - Pterodactyl Tales
It's less Western Swing and more Jazz.
I also very much like #12, check out "blue lou" for playing jazz on standard dobro tuning!
But they are all really good, considering that this is a somewhat, uhm, historic style of playing.
