1	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The critical consensus at the end of 2000 was that it had been one of the weakest film years in recent memory. Which may have been true, despite O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Coen brothers' delightfully warm and weird Depression-era re-telling of Homer's Odyssey. But for music lovers, 2000 was an amazing year at the movies, and it produced ... see all copies from $7.84! new only from $13.34!
2	Tigerlily (1995) more music like this by Natalie Merchant Tigerlily, Natalie Merchant's first solo record, does sound different than 10,000 Maniacs. Instead of relying strictly on jangly folk-rock, Merchant continues opening her music up as she did on Our Time in Eden, her last album with the Maniacs. From the understated groove of "Carnival" to the rolling "San Andreas Fault," the added emphasis on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.98!
3	Old Crow Medicine Show (2004) more music like this by Old Crow Medicine Show Old Crow Medicine Show is an all-acoustic quintet from four states whose members met in New York City and currently reside in Nash Vegas. Their storied beginnings include a North American cross-continent ramble while they learned their instruments and how to play together, eventually ending up playing on the street in front of the Grand Ole Opry ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
4	Down from the Mountain: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded at Nashville's historic Ryman Theater as a sort of a musical wrap party for the Coen Brothers' 2000 film O Brother Where Art Thou, this album offers live versions of several of the traditional American folk songs featured in the film, with a few additions along the same vein. Sounding almost like an all-traditional country episode of "A ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $13.34!
5	Cold Mountain (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Miramax hops on the old-timey bandwagon with the release of the soundtrack for Anthony Minghella's Civil War epic Cold Mountain. Like O Brother, Where Art Thou?'s dark, older sibling, the latest collection of blues, ballads, and laments from producer T-Bone Burnett is a veritable dictionary of traditional country and Americana, but with a ... see all copies from $8.55! new only from $11.06!
6	Nickel Creek (2000) more music like this by Nickel Creek Few artists will offer the story of a lighthouse, sung in the first person, but Nickel Creek has a flair for the unusual. "The Lighthouse's Tale," is but one of a dozen good reasons to enjoy this self-titled release. Produced by Alison Krauss, it features an eclectic collection of material, original and borrowed. Highlights include the ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $15.65!
7	Big Iron World (2006) more music like this by Old Crow Medicine Show Similar to their first album, Big Iron World sees Old Crow Medicine Show draw upon the spirit of old-timey American string band music, adding a surprisingly refreshing and youthful flair that breathes new life into what's traditional as well as harnessing a sound of their own. The group once again teamed up with David Rawlings who produced and ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
8	Hello Love (2006) more music like this by The Be Good Tanyas British Columbia's Be Good Tanyas took their bluesy, north country folk to some fairly dark places on 2003's Chinatown, and while some of those shadows may have wandered into the studio during the recording of their third full-length collection Hello Love, the homespun Canadian trio seem bent on pulling the blinds up this time around and letting ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $12.34!
9	Mountain Soul (2001) more music like this by Patty Loveless A 180-degree departure from contemporary commercial country music, album number six from the always dynamic Loveless is like a breath of fresh air on a steamy summer afternoon. Mountain Soul is a rare and brilliant acoustic 14-track album of bluegrass mountain music. Amidst the mandolins, fiddles, and banjos is Loveless' harking alto voice, ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $9.00!
10	Time (The Revelator) (2001) more music like this by Gillian Welch Gillian Welch's third album, Time (The Revelator), finds the folk vocalist and musician shifting her attention from achingly beautiful mountain ballads to achingly beautiful pop/rock ballads. Regarding this album, Welch states: "As opposed to being little tiny folk songs or traditional songs, they're really tiny rock songs. They're just performed ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $14.95!
11 view cover	Revival (1996) more music like this by Gillian Welch After looking at the cover of Gillian Welch's debut album, Revival, and listening to the first two cuts, "Orphan Girl" and "Annabelle," you'd be tempted to imagine that Welch somehow stumbled into a time machine after cutting some tunes at the 1927 Bristol, TN, sessions and was transported to a recording studio in Los Angeles in 1996, where T-Bone ... see all copies from $9.46! new only from $10.70!
12 view cover	The Grass Is Blue (1999) more music like this by Dolly Parton It was inevitable, especially considering her recent albums, that Dolly Parton would eventually go all the way back to the mountains with a bluegrass project. A child of the southern Appalachians, Parton would have absorbed this music straight through her skin during her formative years. And, indeed, her performance on this CD is impeccable, as is ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $15.65!
13 view cover	Songcatcher (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to a film about a woman music scholar's travels in Appalachia is largely devoted to contemporary versions of traditional folk songs by an impressive roster of female vocalists. Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Maria McKee, Dolly Parton (dueting with Emmy Rossum), Gillian Welch, Iris DeMent, and Patty Loveless are the big names here, ... see all copies from $6.28! new only from $15.65!
14 view cover	My Life (1993) more music like this by Iris DeMent Like Infamous Angel, My Life opens on a light note, which is hardly adequate preparation for the emotional turbulence that follows. The album is dedicated to Iris Dement's father, who passed away prior to its release, and although there are some scattered moments of joy here, they are largely absorbed by a collection of songs dealing with primal ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $11.86!
15 view cover	40 Days (2004) more music like this by The Wailin' Jennys Canadian folkies the Wailin' Jennys aren't opposed to throwing down the occasional sea shanty or English drinking song. Multi-talented singer/songwriters Ruth Moody, Nicky Mehta, and Cara Luft -- the latter left the group soon after the album's release and was replaced by Annabelle Chvostek -- formed the group in 2002 after sharing the stage as ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
16 view cover	Tainted Love: Mating Calls & Fight Songs (2007) more music like this by Shivaree see all copies from $3.79! new only from $17.26!
17 view cover	Hand Picked: 25 Years of Bluegrass on Rounder Records (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Over the course of two CDs, Hand Picked: 25 Years of Bluegrass runs through Rounder Records' back catalog, featuring selections from Ricky Skaggs, Béla Fleck, Alison Krauss, David Grier, Del McCoury, David Grisman, and others. The album gives a good portrait of Rounder's artists, as well as a good sense of bluegrass during the '70s, '80s, and '90s ... see all copies from $9.22! new only from $10.90!
18 view cover	Song of the Traveling Daughter (2005) more music like this by Abigail Washburn Abigail Washburn was busy during the first half of 2005, laying down tracks for her first solo album on Nettwerk and serving as a member of Uncle Earl on Rounder. Song of the Traveling Daughter is an apt title for the type of folk music Washburn makes: acoustic, easygoing, and tuneful. Songs like "Sometimes" and "Rockabye Dixie" give the ... see all copies from $11.22! new only from $11.22!
19 view cover	Firecracker (2006) more music like this by The Wailin' Jennys Though Cara Luft, a founding member of the Wailin' Jennys, was replaced by Annabelle Chvostek, the band's tight harmonies and pretty folk songs haven't changed at all on their second album, Firecracker. In fact, they've even gotten better. Chvostek's voice is seductively low and versatile, and it blends well with and adds a lot of strength and ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
20 view cover	The House Carpenter's Daughter (2003) more music like this by Natalie Merchant Striving to preserve the kinds of songs that "teach us about what we know in our hearts," Natalie Merchant presents here 11 songs of traditional and contemporary folk music. Merchant's handpicked song choices run the gamut of the 20th century, with seven traditional tunes and four covers. The covers are an eclectic mix: the Waterboys-esque ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $14.25!
21 view cover	Lost in the Lonesome Pines (2002) more music like this by Jim Lauderdale/Ralph Stanley/The Clinch Mountain B Songwriter and vocalist Jim Lauderdale's second pairing with bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley retains much of the vitality of 1999's I Feel Like Singing Today, and if anything, the duo seems to have become more comfortable working together on Lost in the Lonesome Pines. One can only imagine the jitters Lauderdale must have felt working in the studio ... see all copies from $5.24! new only from $5.24!
22 view cover	I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump (1999) more music like this by Shivaree Shivaree's debut album, I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head..., is firmly in the mainstream of alternative rock in the late '90s, fitting in nicely with adult alternative radio formats as well as straight-up alternative. The best of the songs are memorable, well-constructed, and performed with commitment; not everything here is a keeper, but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.48!
23 view cover	Waterloo, Tennessee (2007) more music like this by Uncle Earl Few acoustic bands manage to achieve (let alone maintain) the kind of balance that, based on the evidence of their third album, seems to come pretty naturally to the four young women of Uncle Earl: playing music based in old-timey string band tradition that holds an ancient flavor without parodying old-timey sounds, and that brings in modern ... see all copies from $8.25! new only from $15.40!
24 view cover	Invitation Songs (2007) more music like this by The Cave Singers A quick glance at the pedigrees of the Cave Singers' members wouldn't suggest that they had any folky leanings. Pete Quirk sang with the post-punk-inspired Hint Hint, Marty Lund played with the similarly angular Cobra High, and Derek Fudesco came from the mighty Pretty Girls Make Graves -- all layered, intense, and above all, electric bands. So, ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $13.25!
25 view cover	Carry Me Across the Mountain (2000) more music like this by Dan Tyminski Just before his star exploded as a result of his amazing lead vocal on the hit version of "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" off the soundtrack to the Coen Brothers' Great Depression farce O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Dan Tyminski recorded his brief but fantastic debut solo album, Carry Me Across the Mountain, while on sabbatical from Union Station. ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $15.85!
