1	Pink Moon (1972) more music like this by Nick Drake After two albums of tastefully orchestrated folk-pop, albeit some of the least demonstrative and most affecting around, Drake chose a radical change for what turned out to be his final album. Not even half-an-hour long, with 11 short songs and no more -- he famously remarked at the time that he simply had no more to record -- Pink Moon more than ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.66!
2	John Prine (1971) more music like this by John Prine A revelation upon its release, this album is now a collection of standards: "Illegal Smile," "Hello in There," "Sam Stone," "Donald and Lydia," and, of course, "Angel from Montgomery." Prine's music, a mixture of folk, rock, and country, is deceptively simple, like his pointed lyrics, and his easy vocal style adds a humorous edge that makes ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
3	Emotionalism (2007) more music like this by The Avett Brothers Americana with attitude is the best way to describe the Avett Brothers' music, a sublime blend of folk, country, hillbilly, and blues, swirled through with pop, rock, and a touch of wry punk. In their dreams, it all sounds perfect, but not so much so, they think, when they awake. "Yeah, you deserve the best," they bemoan, not just some "Hand-Me ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
4	Mercy Now (2005) more music like this by Mary Gauthier Since her second offering, the self-issued Drag Queens in Limousines in 1999, and continuing through the stellar Filth & Fire in 2002, Texas singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier has quietly and consistently raised the aesthetic bar for herself. She has been favorably (and accurately) compared to Townes Van Zandt for her literate American gothic songs ... see all copies from $5.68! new only from $5.68!
5	My Name Is Buddy (2007) more music like this by Ry Cooder During the present era, as the Iraq war grinds on, Americans are trying belly-button gazing, trying to remember a history where America regarded itself as world citizen, and came to the aid of many nations in trouble and nearing despair. It is true that this is part of our national heritage and America as a whole is, or at least used to be, known ... see all copies from $17.30! new only from $17.30!
6	Five Leaves Left (1969) more music like this by Nick Drake It's little wonder why Drake felt frustrated at the lack of commercial success his music initially gathered, considering the help he had on his debut record. Besides fine production from Joe Boyd and assistance from folks like Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson and his unrelated bass counterpart from Pentangle, Danny Thompson, Drake also ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
7	Bryter Layter (1970) more music like this by Nick Drake With even more of the Fairport Convention crew helping him out -- including bassist Dave Pegg and drummer Dave Mattacks along with, again, a bit of help from Richard Thompson -- as well as John Cale and a variety of others, Drake tackled another excellent selection of songs on his second album. Demonstrating the abilities shown on Five Leaves Left ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.66!
8	Great Days: The John Prine Anthology (1993) more music like this by John Prine Rhino's Great Days: The John Prine Anthology is an excellent summary of John Prine's prime period, from his sublime 1971 eponymous debut to 1991's Missing Years. This (appropriately) draws heavily from his early recordings (including the aforementioned debut), but it also does a terrific job of finding songs on uneven albums, while giving weight ... see all copies from $21.81! new only from $21.81!
9	Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul (2003) more music like this by Eileen Ivers Anytime a Celtic folk album includes credits for "beatbox" and "drum loop," it's safe to say that it's not out to please the genre purists, and on Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul, it sounds like Ivers has indeed decided to expand her audience from the Riverdance/Green Linnet Records crowd. Stewart Mason, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.76! new only from $15.42!
10	Songs for Christmas (2006) more music like this by Sufjan Stevens Like Avalanche, Songs for Christmas is nothing if not eclectic. A whole sleigh-load of carols and original tunes collected from 2001 to 2006, these songs were written and recorded off the cuff, and naturally many of them feel a little ragged and underdone. But they're far more mature than any of the songs on A Sun Came, and there are moments of ... see all copies from $15.58! new only from $18.08!
11 view cover	Until We Felt Red (2006) more music like this by Kaki King Having established herself on her debut as an important new acoustic guitar voice, and having expanded the sonic palette on her second to include other instrumentation, Kaki King once again rethinks her approach from the ground up on number three. While there is still deft fingerstyle guitar to spare, more of King's picking is set inside of a ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $9.82!
12 view cover	The Avalanche: Outtakes & Extras from the Illinois Album (2006) more music like this by Sufjan Stevens Sufjan Stevens' Come on Feel the Illinoise was a long, gorgeous, and occasionally convoluted kaleidoscope of folk, pop, and orchestral rock fused with personal regional history that somehow managed to lure listeners of all ages and genre allegiances into its pompon-wielding arms. Like Illinois, The Avalanche -- leave it to Stevens to release a 21 ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
13 view cover	In My Life (1966) more music like this by Judy Collins Judy Collins' musical ambitions often seemed to be a bit broader (and her style a shade more theatrical) than most of her contemporaries on the East Coast folk scene of the early '60s, and with her sixth album, 1966's In My Life, she made a clear break from interpreting the favorites of the singer/songwriter community into a broader and more ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $9.55!
14 view cover	Liege & Lief (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula. While Fairport had begun dipping their toes into British traditional folk with their ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
15 view cover	Ghost Repeater (2006) more music like this by Jeffrey Foucault see all copies from $14.60! new only from $15.11!
16 view cover	Way to Blue: An Introduction to Nick Drake (1994) more music like this by Nick Drake Compiled by Nick Drake's producer, Joe Boyd, Way to Blue features a selection of 16 tracks from all three Drake studio albums and the Time of No Reply collection. Of course the music is excellent, but Drake's albums stand so well on their own that this collection of piecemeal offerings doesn't quite work as the best way to experience his ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $34.69!
17 view cover	Unhalfbricking [UK Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Fairport Convention Unhalfbricking was, if only in retrospect, a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound. That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief. But the strongest link to ... see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
18 view cover	Wonder Wheel (2006) more music like this by The Klezmatics Wonder Wheel isn't the first album created from completed but never recorded lyrics left behind by the late folk icon Woody Guthrie. In 1998 the British folk-punk singer Billy Bragg and American roots rockers Wilco jointly recorded Mermaid Avenue, which drew from the same pool of material. It was successful enough that a second volume was released ... see all copies from $15.58! new only from $15.58!
19 view cover	Belly of the Sun (2002) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Cassandra Wilson continues to move down a highly eclectic path on Belly of the Sun, the somewhat belated follow-up to Traveling Miles. While displaying a jazz singer's mastery of melodic nuance and improvisatory phrasing, Wilson draws on a variety of non-jazz idioms -- roots music, rock, Delta blues, country, soul -- to create a kind of earthy, ... see all copies from $15.81! new only from $15.81!
20 view cover	Breakfast in New Orleans Dinner in Timbuktu (1999) more music like this by Bruce Cockburn Breakfast in New Orleans Dinner in Timbuktu is Bruce Cockburn's 20th studio album. Lyrically, Cockburn doesn't stray from the impressionist poetic lyrics that he's honed over the years, nor does he stray from his favored topics: travelogs, including those drawn from his trips to Third World nations that emphasize his social concerns; reflections ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
21 view cover	Hello Starling (2003) more music like this by Josh Ritter Idaho songwriter Josh Ritter has received a lot of attention for his fine, spare songwriting and his no-frills approach to performance. As a result of his excellent debut album Golden Age of Radio, he's become a critic's darling all over the U.S. and a full-tilt pop star in Ireland. He's like a lot of young people who are shining stars upon ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $15.99!
22 view cover	Remember the Wind and the Rain (1969) more music like this by Jaime Brockett Folksinger and composer Jaime Brockett's debut album, Remember the Wind and the Rain (1971), easily demonstrates why readers of Broadside magazine heralded him as Boston, MA's top male performer circa 1968. Brockett's emotive side is revealed on the title track, "Blue Chip," and the hauntingly beautiful "Nowadays," juxtaposed against the anti ... see all copies from $11.17! new only from $11.17!
23 view cover	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!
24 view cover	Standard Songs for Average People (2007) more music like this by John Prine & Mac Wiseman The title tells the story well enough on Standard Songs for Average People, a set of 14 country-leaning classics interpreted by venerable singer/songwriter John Prine and bluegrass balladeer Mac Wiseman. While Prine has never possessed a classically strong voice, he knows how to communicate a lyric well enough (even lyrics he didn't write himself) ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $15.28!
25 view cover	Live at the BBC (2007) more music like this by Fairport Convention Is a four-CD box set of Fairport Convention 1967-1974 BBC recordings excessive? After all, even the Beatles only got two CDs of Beeb tracks into official release. But it really isn't too much for fans of the band, for the quality of most of the stuff here is truly good, even if the very best of it was already issued on the Heyday compilation. ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $76.46!
