1	At Folsom Prison (1968) more music like this by Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison was one of two legendary live albums Johnny Cash recorded in front of a prison audience in the late '60s. Part of the appeal of the records is the way Cash plays to the audience, selecting a set of songs that are all about prison, crime, murder, regret, loss, mother, God, and loneliness. Cash stimulates the audience's emotions, ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $11.06!
2	Wide Open Spaces (1998) more music like this by Dixie Chicks The Dixie Chicks spent the first half of the '90s toiling away on the independent bluegrass circuit, releasing three albums on small labels, before sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Robison decided to revamp their sound in 1995, adding Natalie Maines as their lead singer and, in the process, moving the group away from bluegrass and toward a major ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.79!
3	Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits (2004) more music like this by John Denver Placing the word definitive on a best-of collection is usually a panicked label attempt to fill last-minute Christmas stockings, but in the case of RCA's Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits John Denver retrospective, it's a truly apt description. Coinciding with the 35th anniversary of Denver's first album release on RCA, the two-disc, 24-track ... see all copies from $7.54! new only from $15.28!
4	Live (2002) more music like this by Alison Krauss & Union Station Given Alison Krauss' tremendous popularity and her status as the first female bluegrass singer to cross over into genuine pop marketability, and given the fact that her guitarist, Dan Tyminski, is the voice behind "Man of Constant Sorrow" (or at least the version that served as an idée fixe in the blockbuster movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?), ... see all copies from $13.85! new only from $13.85!
5	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 $15.98! new only from $15.98!
6	The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches & Highways (2005) more music like this by Emmylou Harris Emmylou Harris is an artist whose body of work is so consistently strong one could almost pull 20 songs at random from her catalog, string them together, and end up with a pretty listenable disc -- which suggests that the real choices in putting together a "best of Emmylou" album has as much to do with what not to include as what should be on hand ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $16.65!
7	A Star Is Born (1976) more music like this by Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson Though it is credited to Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, A Star Is Born is in effect the soundtrack album to the motion picture of the same name, a rock-oriented retelling of the story that had been filmed three times before. That it is not billed as a soundtrack only indicates that the album contains the songs featured in the film, but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
8	The Essential Johnny Cash (2002) more music like this by Johnny Cash Issued in commemoration of Cash's 70th birthday, this double CD is a good survey of 1955-1993 career highlights (and a different release than the similarly titled three-CD The Essential Johnny Cash 1955-1983). Is it a good place to start? That depends on what you have or don't have already, considering that so many greatest-hits compilations ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.80!
9	If You Could Read My Mind (1970) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Originally released as Sit Down Young Stranger in the summer of 1970, this album was reissued under this name a few months later, as the song "If You Could Read My Mind" began its climb up the pop chart. The single peaked at number five, while the album reached number 12. It seemed as though "If You Could Read My Mind" was everywhere in the early ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $11.11!
10	Red Headed Stranger (1975) more music like this by Willie Nelson Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger perhaps is the strangest blockbuster country produced, a concept album about a preacher on the run after murdering his departed wife and her new lover, told entirely with brief song-poems and utterly minimal backing. It's defiantly anticommercial and it demands intense concentration -- all reasons why nobody ... see all copies from $9.10! new only from $11.06!
11	Now That I've Found You: A Collection (1995) more music like this by Alison Krauss Alison Krauss had been recording a decade before she gained stardom, but she became a star in a big way. Now That I've Found You: A Collection, a retrospective of her ten-year recording career for Rounder, became the surprise hit of 1995, rocketing to number two on the country charts and into the Top 15 on the pop charts, which is remarkable for ... see all copies from $5.42! new only from $15.98!
12 view cover	This Side (2002) more music like this by Nickel Creek This Side, Nickel Creek's sophomore release, finds bandmembers Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and Sean Watkins out of their teens and into their twenties after playing together for 12 years. The southern California band's self-titled debut received wide critical acclaim for welding jazz, rock, and classical music to a bluegrass base. But This Side ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $14.75!
13 view cover	Super Hits (1994) more music like this by Willie Nelson Super Hits is a budget-priced ten-track collection that contains a selection of Willie Nelson's greatest hits ("On the Road Again," "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," "Pancho and Lefty," "Always on My Mind," "Georgia on My Mind," "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys") that are padded by a couple of album tracks. It may not be definitive, but it offers ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.00!
14 view cover	Gord's Gold (1975) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Following the success of Sundown, Gordon Lightfoot continued his success by releasing a greatest-hits compilation. A double album (now a single CD), it contained the most popular songs from his Warner Bros. years on disc two, and he re-recorded many of his early songs for side one of record one. Although not as good, perhaps, as the originals, ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $11.04!
15 view cover	Songbird: Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems (2007) more music like this by Emmylou Harris It's difficult to write about Emmylou Harris without lapsing into a long train of superlatives -- she really does have one of the most beautiful voices of her generation, and her taste in material and skill in using her instrument is nearly faultless. However, as good as Harris is and as consistently strong as her body of work has been, one could ... see all copies from $63.67! new only from $63.67!
16 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 $16.85!
17 view cover	Profile: Best of Emmylou Harris (1978) more music like this by Emmylou Harris Given how long and fruitful her career has been, and the scope of this collection -- an overview of her 1970s offerings -- Profile should no longer be subtitled Best of Emmylou Harris. That said, this is a weighty compilation of very important material that provides a solid introduction to the beginnings of one of America's most important and ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $5.65!
18 view cover	Last of the Breed (2007) more music like this by Willie Nelson/Ray Price/Merle Haggard The title Last of the Breed speaks with a defiance that, for the most part, the music on this album does not, and that's just as it should be -- while Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Ray Price are indeed among the last functioning practitioners of pure, unadulterated Western swing, honky tonk, or countrypolitan blues in the classic manner, on ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $19.52!
19 view cover	Walela (1997) more music like this by Walela Familial vocal trio Walela's self-titled debut album is also their finest to date, an amalgamation of Native American roots music (specifically Cherokee), singer/songwriter folk, pop, and Southern gospel that's also not unappealing to new age sensibilities. Although the music is deeply rooted in tradition, its hybrid uniqueness gives it a ... see all copies from $7.36! new only from $15.42!
20 view cover	New Favorite (2001) more music like this by Alison Krauss & Union Station see all copies from $5.75! new only from $15.98!
21 view cover	Live Like You Were Dying (2004) more music like this by Tim McGraw There's good reason for Tim McGraw's endurance at the top of contemporary country: he's a restless visionary who's worked hard to improve as an interpretive singer. In 2002, McGraw bucked the trend and convinced his label, and producers Byron Gallimore and Darran Smith, to let him use his road band in the studio. The rough and tumble intimacy of ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $8.63!
22 view cover	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!
23 view cover	The Complete Greatest Hits (2002) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Rhino's 2002 collection The Complete Greatest Hits is certainly welcome for presenting what is essentially all of his most popular songs on one 20-track disc, but, the thing is, that's actually a trickier task with Gordon Lightfoot than you might think. On both volumes of Gord's Gold, he re-recorded early songs and mixed them with current hits -- ... see all copies from $16.65! new only from $16.65!
24 view cover	Van Lear Rose (2004) more music like this by Loretta Lynn Loretta Lynn retired from the music business in the '90s, returning to her home in Nashville to take care of her husband, Oliver Lynn, as he was dying. As it happens, she left the spotlight at a time that was not kind to country legends like herself, as they were exiled from country radio and left with a fraction of their audience. Some tried to ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $13.34!
25 view cover	Why Should the Fire Die? (2005) more music like this by Nickel Creek Few aspiring bluegrass artists have tackled the genre as unpredictably as Nickel Creek. For their third offering, the precocious trio have ditched longtime producer Alison Krauss in favor of Tony Berg and Eric Valentine (Smash Mouth, Queens of the Stone Age, Good Charlotte), and quietly crafted one of the most explosive acoustic records of the ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $14.80!
