1	In the Heart of the Moon (2005) more music like this by Ali Farka Touré/Toumani Diabate In the Heart of the Moon is a duet recording by Malian guitar slinger Ali Farka Toure and Mandé lineage griot Toumani Diabate on kora. There are a few other players who contribute percussion here and there, and Ry Cooder plays a Kawai piano on a couple of tracks and a Ripley guitar on one, but other than these cats, this is a live duo set without ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.93!
2	Endless Road (2005) more music like this by Tommy Emmanuel Originally released in 2002 in Tommy Emmanuel's native Australia (where he's a jazz and folk guitar legend) but not available in the States until 2005, Endless Road is a solo acoustic album that in its revamped form adds a pair of unimpressive vocal numbers. Emmanuel's fingerpicking style is heavily influenced by Chet Atkins, who appears here on a ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
3	Guitar Music (1981) more music like this by Leo Kottke Twelve solid guitar instrumentals. Chip Renner, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.16! new only from $11.13!
4	The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death (1965) more music like this by John Fahey A strange man, John Fahey, with an unusual set of guitar styles. This album, originally released on Riverboat Records and later reissued by Fahey's own Takoma label, has a lot of rough edges in terms of the recording but a tremendous amount of power when it comes to the music. Fahey was at the top of his game, alternately playful and dark, so ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
5	Days Have Gone By, Vol. 6 (1967) more music like this by John Fahey Sam Graham once referred to Fahey as the "curmudgeon of the acoustic guitar," while producer Samuel Charters noted that Fahey "was the only artist I ever worked with whose sales went down after he made public appearances." This tumultuous spirit, in turn, made tumultuous music on albums like Days Have Gone By, filled with odd harmonics, discord, ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
6	The Legend of Blind Joe Death (1996) more music like this by John Fahey The saga of Blind Joe Death is an extremely confusing one, for those listeners who haven't been following Fahey's career from the beginning. In short: Fahey originally recorded Blind Joe Death in 1959, in an extremely rare, self-released edition of less than 100 copies. Though few heard it, his debut album was a groundbreaker on the acoustic folk ... see all copies from $16.88! new only from $16.88!
7	The Early Years 1946-1957 (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins In 1947, when the first material in this five-disc box set was cut, Chet Atkins (still using his given name Chester) was a struggling journeyman guitarist looking for a steady gig. By the end of disc five, Atkins was firmly established as one of Nashville's top-call sessionmen and a successful producer and A&R man at RCA Victor's Nashville office, ... see all copies from $26.02! new only from $26.02!
8	The Dance of Death & Other Plantation Favorites [CD] (1965) more music like this by John Fahey The title The Dance of Death and Other Plantation Favorites might lead some to believe that this is a collection of public-domain items that go back to the Deep South of the 19th century. However, while this 1964 session does contain a song titled "Dance of Death," most of the material (including that tune) was written by Fahey himself in the ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
9	Bluegrass Guitar (2003) more music like this by Bryan Sutton Bluegrass guitarist Bryan Sutton isn't one of Nashville's most in-demand session players for nothing, as is evident on his second solo outing, the appropriately titled Bluegrass Guitar. Straightforward and clean, Sutton's fingers fly over top of these 12 tunes, accompanied by simple banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and bass. The warmth and intent of the ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $14.42!
10	The Essential Chet Atkins [Legacy] (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins Chet Atkins is more esteemed as a session musician and producer than as a solo artist, and critics have rightly noted that much of his immense catalog as a solo artist is unimpressive. It might thus be assumed that it would be difficult to pick a two-CD, 40-track career-spanning retrospective that would both represent much of his finest solo ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
11 view cover	Sixty Six Steps (2005) more music like this by Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon The second collaboration of Leo Kottke with ex-Phish bassist Mike Gordon finds the duo exploring breezy Caribbean sounds, with a few surprise covers. The musicians work wonderfully together, with Gordon's meaty yet malleable bass grounding and darting around Kottke's distinctive and agile fingerpicked lines. Percussion reinforces the island sound ... see all copies from $16.59! new only from $16.59!
12 view cover	Rhythms (1995) more music like this by Badi Assad While Badi Assad isn't a jazz singer per se, the singer/acoustic guitarist clearly thrives on improvisation and spontaneity. This is no doubt one of the main reasons she ended up on the jazz-oriented Chesky Records. When Rhythms was recorded at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in New York, Chesky treated the project much as it would treat a jazz ... see all copies from $6.96! new only from $16.89!
13 view cover	Verde [2005] (2005) more music like this by Badi Assad The exotic, one of a kind Brazilian guitarist, singer, and rhythmic mouth and body percussionist has had a stop-and-start career with turns as mysterious and intriguing as her music. After splashing on the scene with her Chesky debut Solo in 1994, continuing the stir (including vast critical acclaim) with Rhythms (1995) and releasing Chameleon on ... see all copies from $12.61! new only from $12.61!
14 view cover	Rain Forests Oceans & Other Themes (1985) more music like this by John Fahey see all copies from $9.40! new only from $14.83!
15 view cover	The Complete Folkways Recordings (1958) (1958) more music like this by Joseph Spence These recordings of Joseph Spence, made by Samuel Charters in 1958, display one of the most inventive guitar styles ever put to tape. Spence improvised on traditional tunes in a manner comparable to African-Americans Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi Fred McDowell, like them adding rhythmic and melodic accents and changes in unexpected ways. In ... see all copies from $12.07! new only from $15.42!
16 view cover	Friends of Fahey Tribute (2006) more music like this by John Fahey & Friends The album may have an awkward title, but the music it contains is both touching and generally quite graceful. It's an appropriate juxtaposition, since the album celebrates the life and music of guitarist John Fahey, who was himself the same kind of walking contradiction: a notoriously difficult personality with a rare musical gift that expressed ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
17 view cover	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by John Fahey Though John Fahey cut only three records for Vanguard between 1966 and 1969 (he cut a slew for his own Takoma label as well) , some of his most adventurous -- and some would say maddening -- work is here. Vanguard Visionaries compiles ten cuts from the latter two of these LPs, 1967's Requia & Other Compositions for Guitar Solo, and 1969's Yellow ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $9.87!
18 view cover	Improvika (2004) more music like this by Sir Richard Bishop Sir Richard Bishop's guitar work harks back to an earlier time, when acoustic guitar virtuosos like Leo Kottke and Robbie Basho reigned supreme. Back then, players rarely sang, but used all of their energies to create original music that would never be confused (as is the case in the early 2000s) with new age music. This skill and seriousness is ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $13.91!
19 view cover	Happy All the Time (1964) more music like this by Joseph Spence Waxed for Elektra in 1964, this has better sound than the Folkways recordings and offers some of Spence's most percussive playing. Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.90! new only from $14.25!
20 view cover	Polytheistic Fragments (2007) more music like this by Richard Bishop Sir Richard Bishop, formerly guitarist of the (in)famous Sun City Girls ensemble, has been making solo recordings intermittently since 1998, and quite regularly since 2004. In fact, Polytheistic Fragments -- his debut for Drag City -- is his fourth in as many years, and his third since 2006! The Sun City Girls broke up after the death of ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $16.53!
21 view cover	A Raga for Peter Walker (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Many of the legends of acoustic guitar in the 20th century have already passed on -- John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ali Farka Toure. Due partially to his spare recording career, Peter Walker's own reputation has not always been as well known as those of said giants, but his own influence has been considerable. A Raga for Peter Walker -- a tribute album ... see all copies from $12.96! new only from $12.96!
22 view cover	Living on the Hallelujah Side (1987) more music like this by Joseph Spence Bahamian guitarist/vocalist Joseph Spence's humming, flailing, sensational singing and playing combined secular flair and spiritual fervor in a manner close to that of the brilliant Blind Willie Johnson and Rev. Gary Davis. This set of 1970s performances, reissued on CD, included evocative renditions of "A Closer Walk With Thee," "More and More ... see all copies from $15.35! new only from $15.35!
23 view cover	The Yellow Princess (1969) more music like this by John Fahey This particular John Fahey side is a personal favorite of many of his devout fans for several reasons. And although such a judgment is tough, if one were looking to own only one album by this unique guitarist, The Yellow Princess could be the one. The recording sound is among the best of his many releases; at the proper volume, the effect is as if ... see all copies from $14.75! new only from $14.75!
24 view cover	Chet Atkins in Hollywood (1959) more music like this by Chet Atkins If the cover of At Home evokes the 1950s, the music on In Hollywood IS the 1950s: a warm, cozy, sophisticated album of mood music in the best sense. Yet this is not an album of film music (though a handful of film themes turn up). Rather, it is exactly what the title indicates: Chet Atkins recording an album in a Hollywood studio, as opposed to ... see all copies from $6.90! new only from $31.77!
25 view cover	The Spring of Sixty-Five (1992) more music like this by Joseph Spence & The Pinder Family These recordings come from two separate occasions. Six tracks were recorded in New York City during Joseph Spence's first tour of the U.S., and prominently feature Spence's guitar and vocals, with harmonies and occasional lead vocals from his sister Edith Pinder. The other seven selections were recorded at the same sessions that yielded the ... see all copies from $15.35! new only from $15.35!
