1	O (2003) more music like this by Damien Rice Magnificently packaged in a CD-sized hardcover book filled with personal artwork, lyrics, and photos, Damien Rice's debut full-length, O, is nothing less than a work of genius, a perfect cross between Ryan Adams and David Gray and a true contender for one of the best albums of 2003. This Irish singer/songwriter works with impassioned folk songs ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $16.65!
2	West (2007) more music like this by Lucinda Williams The title of West reflects the change in Lucinda Williams' life as she moved to Los Angeles. It also reflects what had been left behind. Williams is nothing if not a purely confessional songwriter. She continually walks in the shadowlands to bring out what is both most personal yet universal in her work, to communicate to listeners directly and ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $13.27!
3	Nebraska (1982) more music like this by Bruce Springsteen There is an adage in the record business that a recording artist's demos of new songs often come off better than the more polished versions later worked up in a studio. But Bruce Springsteen was the first person to act on that theory, when he opted to release the demo versions of his latest songs, recorded with only acoustic or electric guitar, ... see all copies from $6.32! new only from $11.06!
4	Tracy Chapman (1988) more music like this by Tracy Chapman Arriving with little fanfare in the spring of 1988, Tracy Chapman's eponymous debut album became one of the key records of the Bush era, providing a touchstone for the entire PC movement while reviving the singer/songwriter tradition. And Tracy Chapman is firmly within the classic singer/songwriter tradition, sounding for all the world as if it ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.65!
5	Essence (2001) more music like this by Lucinda Williams Between her well-documented determination to retail full control of her music and the plain-spoken willfulness of her best-known songs, Lucinda Williams is practically the working definition of a strong woman you do not want to mess with, but she reveals a very different side of her musical personality on her sixth album, Essence. Subtle and often ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.34!
6	Solitude Standing (1987) more music like this by Suzanne Vega The songs on Solitude Standing, Suzanne Vega's second album, had years listed beside them on the lyric sheet, so you could see that some of them dated back to 1978. But that bold admission heralded the album's triumph -- its diversity was what made it so good. Partially, that was because the old songs were the equal of anything on the first album ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $3.47!
7	The Ghost of Tom Joad (1995) more music like this by Bruce Springsteen In 1982, with Ronald Reagan in the White House and much of America torn between a newly fierce patriotism and the dispassionate conservatism of the dawning "Greed Is Good" era, a number of roots-oriented rock musicians began examining the State of the Union in song, and one of the most powerful albums to come out of this movement was Bruce ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $10.98!
8	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!
9	Seven Swans (2004) more music like this by Sufjan Stevens After completing the first installment of his planned series of 50 records -- one album dedicated to each state in the U.S. -- indie folk overachiever Sufjan Stevens returns with Seven Swans, a collection of stripped-down, introspective musings on life, love, and faith that chart the geographic location of the heart and soul. Many of these themes ... see all copies from $8.42! new only from $13.59!
10	Gulag Orkestar (2006) more music like this by Beirut The best album to come out of Albuquerque since the Shins decamped for the Pacific Northwest, the debut album by Beirut (aka New Mexico-born 19-year-old singer/songwriter Zach Condon) bears an immediate resemblance both to Denver's DeVotchKa and the current passions of the Athens, GA, crowd formerly associated with the Elephant 6 stable. Like ... see all copies from $12.13! new only from $12.13!
11 view cover	Collection (2001) more music like this by Tracy Chapman The 2001 import Collection is the first compilation to round up Tracy Chapman's key tracks, and it succeeds on every level. All the hits (and almost-hits) are here, beginning with her two U.S. Top Tens -- the legendary "Fast Car" and the bluesy comeback hit "Give Me One Reason." Other charted singles on this album include the fiery, politically ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
12 view cover	B-Sides [EP] (2004) more music like this by Damien Rice After wooing critics in 2003 with his stunning debut album, O, Damien Rice built upon his growing success with this quaint B-sides collection. This EP features seven previously unreleased songs that are soul-stirringly classic of the Irish singer/songwriter. On record, Rice is a convincing poet with a wild imagination of love and wonder, but in a ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $8.63!
13 view cover	Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge (2007) more music like this by The Pierces The Pierces -- sisters Allison and Catherine -- hail from Alabama where they were home schooled and developed a taste for country music. When their self-titled country debut bombed, they moved to New York City, started hanging out with the singer/songwriter crowd and developed a style that blossoms like a bouquet of deadly nightshade. On Thirteen ... see all copies from $12.90! new only from $12.90!
14 view cover	Retrospective: The Best of Suzanne Vega (2003) more music like this by Suzanne Vega Retrospective: The Best of Suzanne Vega is essentially A&M's updated version of their 1999 issue, The Best of Suzanne Vega: Tried and True, adding "Tired of Sleeping" from Vega's Days of Open Hand, "Calypso" and "Solitude Standing" from Solitude Standing, "(I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May" and "Penitent" from the 2001 recording Songs in Red and ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.34!
15 view cover	Eastmountainsouth (2003) more music like this by Eastmountainsouth Eastmountainsouth's debut album is a simple effort, but just because it's simple doesn't mean it lacks substance. Kat Maslich and Peter Adams have crafted a sweet set of songs for a springlike blend of classic folk and country. They carefully work with the basics when it comes to presentation; however, Maslich and Adams' talent lies in songwriting ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
16 view cover	Lon Gisland (2007) more music like this by Beirut see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!
17 view cover	Mortal City (1996) more music like this by Dar Williams On the first track of her second album, Dar Williams makes clear her intention to break out of the acoustic singer/songwriter ghetto: "As Cool As I Am" is full-out rock & roll with funky drums and a chorus built on massed choo-choo harmonicas. She doesn't stay in rock mode for long, but the more aggressive approach continues to inform her sound ... see all copies from $10.00!
18 view cover	Sweet Old World (1992) more music like this by Lucinda Williams After seemingly coming out of nowhere to be hailed as a major songwriter and roots music stylist, it took Lucinda Williams four years to prepare the follow-up to her masterful 1988 eponymous album. When it finally arrived, Sweet Old World proved to be every bit the equal of its predecessor, if not even better. Although Sweet Old World isn't really ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.63!
19 view cover	The Honesty Room (1993) more music like this by Dar Williams This, Dar Williams' first full-length album, was originally released on her own private label and was then picked up by the tiny but prestigious indie folk label Waterbug Records. In its Razor & Tie incarnation, The Honesty Room is a bit more rocked-up, which, frankly, has generally proven to be a good thing for the music of Dar Williams. Although ... see all copies from $17.39! new only from $17.39!
20 view cover	Pride (2007) more music like this by Phosphorescent On his latest album under the Phosphorescent guise, Mathew Houck continues his work with reflective folk music given a somewhat ethereal bent. If not as gone as some of the performers in the field in recent years who seem to balance between stability and the lack thereof, Houck beats the heck out of so many who seem to only want to become the new ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $13.50!
21 view cover	Cripple Crow (2005) more music like this by Devendra Banhart Cripple Crow marks a departure for Devendra Banhart. It's obvious from the faux Sgt. Pepper-meets-Incredible String Band freak scene cover photo that something is afoot. The disc is Banhart's first foray from Michael Gira's Young God label, and it's more adventurous than anything he's done before. This is not to imply that the set is a slick, ... see all copies from $8.24! new only from $13.59!
22 view cover	This Business of Art (2000) more music like this by Tegan and Sara Twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quin are two singer/songwriters with impeccable acoustics, comfortable with exploring social frustrations without wallowing in despair. Their Vapor Records debut, This Business of Art, is simplistic, and the compositions are hollow and earthy. Tegan and Sara's vocals are gravelly like fellow folkie Ani DiFranco. They ... see all copies from $12.91! new only from $12.91!
23 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!
24 view cover	Bahamut (2006) more music like this by Hazmat Modine It's a fairly good bet you won't hear another record like Bahamut any time soon -- because there isn't one. Hazmat Modine tap into the deepest veins of raw, unpolluted prewar blues and ancient jazz, then whip them up in a blender, tossing in strains of Caribbean calypso and ska, Eastern European klezmer and Balkan brass, Middle Eastern mystery, ... see all copies from $14.52! new only from $14.52!
25 view cover	Searching for a Former Clarity (2005) more music like this by Against Me! Against Me! is a band closely tied to their independent and underground roots, yet after the attention paid to 2003's As the Eternal Cowboy, they found themselves teetering on the edge of the mainstream spotlight -- and dealing with the possibility of signing with a major label. Perhaps reflecting this situation, Searching for a Former Clarity ... see all copies from $12.63! new only from $12.63!
