1	Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Like many Rhino compilations, this is geared more to the novice or the casual fan than the aficionado, but that's not a criticism. If someone wants a basic primer of the bluegrass sound past and present that manages to be accessible and avoid unduly clichéd track selection, this 18-song compilation fits the bill well. Most of the biggest names are ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
2	The 'Tis Sweet to Be Remembered: Essential Flatt & Scruggs (1997) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs Excepting a few years with Mercury at the beginning of their career, Flatt & Scruggs made all of their studio recordings for Columbia. This double-disc set is the most useful survey of their work for the label, spanning 1950 to 1969, and throwing in three unreleased tracks along the way. In addition to the expected sterling bluegrass, it has their ... see all copies from $14.02! new only from $17.84!

4	Folk Classics (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Though one thinks of Elektra and Vanguard as the main record labels of the folk revival, the giant Columbia Records also made some inroads into the field, signing up not only Bob Dylan but also a wide range of folkies, from Pete Seeger to The New Christy Minstrels. This 15-track compilation delves deeper into the Columbia vault for tracks by ... see all copies from $5.63! new only from $11.06!
5	16 Biggest Hits (2002) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs This isn't the definitive Flatt & Scruggs collection, but it does contain a majority of the duo's best Columbia sides, including "'Tis Sweet to Be Remembered," "The Ballad of Jed Clampett," "Pearl Pearl Pearl," and the hit version of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" from Bonnie & Clyde. It nicely encapsulates the two-disc 'Tis Sweet to Be Remembered ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $11.80!
6	Foggy Mountain Gospel (2005) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs Recorded between 1951 and 1966, the 52 tracks that make up Columbia/Legacy's Foggy Mountain Gospel compilation represent not only a high point in the careers of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, but a pinnacle for the bluegrass-gospel genre itself. The material, pulled from seven albums and a smattering of singles recorded during the duo's Columbia ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $18.91!
7	World's Greatest Bluegrass Pickers (1991) more music like this by Various Artists It's hard to fault this 30-track set, which is jam-packed with some simply mind-boggling picking. With individual efforts aboard from Merle Travis, Sonny Osborne and the Osborne Brothers, Jim & Jesse, Joe Maphis, Johnny Gimble, Lester Flatt, and Benny Martin, this is all prime material, with performances that seem to leap out of the speakers at ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $8.28!

9	The Complete Mercury Recordings (2003) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs In what basically amounts to a reissue of 1992's similarly titled Complete Mercury Sessions, Universal's Complete Mercury Recordings has improved upon the original by putting the songs in chronological order and including terrific liner notes by folk historian Mary Katherine Aldin. While both Flatt & Scruggs releases include the early classics ... see all copies from $9.67! new only from $13.34!

13 view cover	Dueling Banjos/Live at Kansas State (2000) more music like this by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs Putting together one of Scruggs' best albums (Live at Kansas State) with one of his less interesting (Dueling Banjos) made good marketing sense, but it makes for an uneven CD. Tracks 11-22 are the real treats here, off the live album, and the price is low enough that one can regard the other ten songs as a bonus, with some occasionally brilliant ... see all copies from $11.46! new only from $11.46!

20 view cover	Songs of the Famous Carter Family (1961) more music like this by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs On this album, Flatt & Scruggs cool their famous "overdrive" to turn in a collection of relaxed, almost dreamy adaptations of Carter tunes. Maybelle herself plays autoharp on the sessions, although it would have been nice if she had sung too, especially since the cover prominently displays her name and picture.

22 view cover	World's Greatest Bluegrass Bands (1989) more music like this by Various Artists World's Greatest Bluegrass Bands is a terrific 32-track collection that features representative selections from many of the biggest names in bluegrass.
