You Ain't Talkin' to Me: Charlie Poole and the Roots of Country Music

You Ain't Talkin' to Me: Charlie Poole and the Roots of Country Music (2005) more music like this

by Charlie Poole

First, a word about what You Ain't Talkin' to Me is not: it is not a box set of Charlie Poole's complete recorded work. He recorded some 110 songs for the Columbia, Paramount, and Brunswick labels between 1925 and 1931, and 43 of those tracks are collected here, with the balance of this three-disc set given over to sides by Poole's stylistic ...

With the North Carolina Ramblers and the Highlanders

With the North Carolina Ramblers and the Highlanders (2005) more music like this

by Charlie Poole

Charlie Poole wasn't a particularly brilliant banjo player (although his later three-finger-style picking would set the table for the advent of bluegrass banjo a couple of decades after his death), and he wasn't the world's greatest vocalist either, but he had a certain devil-may-care charisma that made him a superstar in the string band era of ...

North Carolina Banjo Collection

North Carolina Banjo Collection (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

An outstanding primer and introduction to a set of regional styles that give credence to the banjo as a virtuoso instrument. Much of the music on these two discs comes from field recordings made with the aid of local players who are semi-professional musicians at best, but that consideration does not affect the overall quality of the performances. ...

Yazoo offers up another classic collection of mountain ballads and old-timey heartbreakers from the '20s and '30s on Man of Constant Sorrow.

Old Time Songs Recorded from 1925 to 1930

Old Time Songs Recorded from 1925 to 1930 (1994) more music like this

by Charlie Poole

Old-Time Songs contains 16 songs Charlie Poole recorded for Columbia Records between 1925 and 1930. This sampling features nearly every one of his best songs -- including the hits "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Blues" and "Can I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight, Mister" -- and provides the definitive retrospective of Poole, as well as a good glimpse into ...

Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers, Vol. 2: Old Time Songs Recorded from 1926

Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers, Vol. 2: Old Time Songs Recorded from 1926 (1996) more music like this

by Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers

County Records' second installment of Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers is another great testament to this seminal band: while most or all of Poole and the Ramblers' best-known songs are included on the earlier volume of Old Time Songs, the lesser-known tunes on this disc are every bit as entertaining, if often less familiar. The opening ...

Legend of Charlie Poole, Vol. 3

Legend of Charlie Poole, Vol. 3 (1999) more music like this

by Charlie Poole

County continues its excellent survey of works by this popular banjoist and vocalist with this third volume of rural, old-time string-band dance tunes, novelties, minstrel songs, and folk ballads. This time-capsule disc of Poole's North Carolina Ramblers features his nimble three-fingered playing and dry-humored tenor singing with fiddle and ...

Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3

Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3 (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Originally released in 1952 as a quasi-legal set of three double LPs and reissued several times since (with varying cover art), Anthology of American Folk Music could well be the most influential document of the '50s folk revival. Many of the recordings that appeared on it had languished in obscurity for 20 years, and it proved a revelation to a ...

Bluegrass Bonanza

Bluegrass Bonanza (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Proper's four-disc Bluegrass Bonanza collection focuses on the genre's early greats like Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, and the Delmore Brothers. Each of the four CDs -- String Band Roots, 1927-38; The Monroe Legacy, 1936-45; Early Bluegrass, 1944-50; and Classic Bluegrass, 1946-50 -- is packed with classics, making this ...
