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 $9.26! 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 $5.00!
3	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 $3.29! new only from $6.35!
4	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 $13.47! new only from $15.65!
5	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 $4.10! new only from $15.98!
6	Soul Journey (2003) more music like this by Gillian Welch Gillian Welch and David Rawlings may, in fact, shock and appall folk purists with their fourth album, Soul Journey. "Are those drums?" "Is that an organ?" "Wait a minute, is that an electric bass?!?" The album uses these musical elements to drive home a living-room, lazy-summertime jam-session feel that hasn't really shown itself on Welch's ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
7	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 $4.72! new only from $11.05!
8	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 $11.49! new only from $15.28!
9	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 $7.05! new only from $11.22!
10	Springtime Can Kill You (2006) more music like this by Jolie Holland Jolie Holland's sophomore studio outing for Anti is a leap from her landmark Escondida. While that album traveled seamlessly from genre to genre without trying, Springtime Can Kill You moves at a slower, more labyrinthine pace toward an end that only Holland could conjure. There are many artists these days stepping deep into the rich tradition of ... see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
11 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 $15.65! new only from $15.65!
12 view cover	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 $13.34! new only from $13.34!
13 view cover	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 $9.87! new only from $9.87!
14 view cover	Blue Horse (2001) more music like this by The Be Good Tanyas Since the advent of CDs, reviewers ceased using phrases like, "From the moment the needle hit the vinyl, it was clear that Blue Horse had a beautiful, layered sound." Whatever the medium, the Be Good Tanyas have a knack for recharging traditional pieces with a sonic twist. Who would even think to take on a warhorse like "The Coo Coo Bird" or add ... see all copies from $14.33! new only from $14.33!
15 view cover	Infamous Angel (1992) more music like this by Iris Dement A remarkable debut, Infamous Angel established Iris DeMent as one of the greatest artists of her generation. With her gift for poignant, confessional songwriting and a voice that makes raw beauty seem like a brand new thing, she invokes the elemental magic of the Carter Family while sounding as fresh and modern as John Prine (who, not surprisingly ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $16.52!
16 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 $14.25! new only from $14.25!
17 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 $15.15!
18 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 $7.96! new only from $15.98!
19 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 $11.11!
20 view cover	Catalpa (2003) more music like this by Jolie Holland Most know Jolie Holland as a member of Vancouver's the Be Good Tanyas. Catalpa is her first album, but it wasn't recorded as such. It had been a demo recording passed around to fans until Neume reviewed it on the internet. The venerable upstart label Anti has given it the proper release it deserves. Holland is a native Texan, and it shows in her ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
21 view cover	Hell Among the Yearlings (1998) more music like this by Gillian Welch Lacking some of the focus that made her debut album so stunning, Hell Among the Yearlings is nevertheless a thoroughly satisfying second album from Gillian Welch. Instead of backing away from the rustic folkiness of Revival, Welch deepens her bleak, clear-eyed world view, which makes her spare, old-timey arrangements all the more powerful. On ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
22 view cover	Blue Country Heart (2002) more music like this by Jorma Kaukonen Acoustic fingerpicker Jorma Kaukonen fiddled around with his country roots a bit in Jefferson Airplane and dipped a little deeper while fronting Hot Tuna, but his 2002 release, Blue Country Heart, is his most summertime-afternoon, front-porch-pickin' album. The album is comprised of traditional country songs from the '30s and '40s popularized by ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $5.88!
23 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 $3.59! new only from $11.04!
24 view cover	Little Sparrow (2001) more music like this by Dolly Parton Though Dolly Parton had been exploring her musical roots to various degrees throughout the last half of the '90s, her true return to form didn't occur until the release of the Grammy-winning The Grass Is Blue, and its 2001 follow-up, Little Sparrow. Critics and fans alike agreed that the latter record was easily among the best Parton had ever ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.78!
25 view cover	Johnstown (1999) more music like this by Oh Suzanna Upon an initial look, Oh Susanna (the musical persona of American-born, Canadian-bred Suzie Ungerleider) appears to be just another Lilith Fair folky, but looks often are deceiving. The opening notes of her first song -- the disc's forceful title track, "Johnstown" -- reveal that she is no pastoral wallflower. Set around the Johnstown flood, the ... see all copies from $17.60! new only from $17.60!
