1	Skiffle-Bop (2001) more music like this by Brooks Williams Brooks Williams is a man blessed with multiple talents: He's a songwriter, a singer, and a heck of a guitar player. In 2000 he released Little Lion, a nice collection of instrumental work, and the wonderfully titled Dead Sea Cafe, a collection of personal favorites. Now Skiffle-Bop finds him confidently singing and playing his way through 11 tunes ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	Beat It, Blow It, Strum It, Hum It! (1992) more music like this by Sunshine Skiffle Band see all copies from $12.12! new only from $14.74!
3	Urgent Request (2004) more music like this by Ken Colyer see all copies from $10.26! new only from $12.54!
4	Rock Island Line: The Singles Anthology 1955-1967 (1985) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan For most listeners, the three-disc, 86-track Sanctuary/Castle collection Rock Island Line: The Singles Anthology 1955-1967 will be nearly as overwhelming as the eight-disc, all-encompassing Bear Family box More Than "Pye in the Sky," since a little Lonnie Donegan can go a long way for the average listener. But, for those who decide to dig into ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $42.99!
5	The Very Best of Mungo Jerry [Sanctuary] (2002) more music like this by Mungo Jerry This fine collection of Mungo Jerry's better-known tracks, including the band's big hit, "In the Summertime," is presented in DVD audio. Probably not a solid buy for a newcomer to the band, but fans will probably be interested in the improved sound. Chris True, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.46! new only from $10.65!
6	Boston Church Service (1972) more music like this by Ken Colyer British trumpeter Ken Colyer, one of the major New Orleans revival brassmen, had broken up his regular group in 1971 due to his erratic health but fortunately he continued playing on a part-time basis during the remaining 17 years of his life. This infectious set (which came out on CD in 1998) was performed at a church in 1972 before a live ... see all copies from $10.26! new only from $17.23!
7	Ken Colyer's Jazzmen on Tour (1995) more music like this by Ken Colyer Recorded privately but with the permission of trumpeter Ken Colyer, this excellent live set (released for the first time on this 1994 CD) features the Colyer band shortly before clarinetist Sammy Rimington departed to tour with some top New Orleans veterans in the United States. Colyer is heard throughout in prime form, heading a group that also ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $17.23!
8	Lonnie Donegan (1975) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan see all copies from $3.00!
9	Produced by George Martin (2001) more music like this by George Martin While generally presented in a chronological fashion, each disc is likewise aptly subtitled. Disc one -- "Crazy Rhythms" -- features pre-rock & roll big band ("High Society"), skiffle ("Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O"), and dance music ("Scottish Polka" and "Saturday Jump"). In addition, there are tracks from other well-known yet rarely heard artists ... see all copies from $31.48! new only from $31.48!
10	Rock 'N' Skiffle: Brit Beat Beginnings (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.93! new only from $27.42!
11	The Gathering (2004) more music like this by The Water Rats Perhaps it's the gap between British and American English, or just the obtuseness of some of the annotation -- at least, where non-local reference points are concerned -- but this reviewer, having listened to this CD three times and read the notes more than once, still isn't quite sure what the "Water Rats" are, based on the information presented ... see all copies from $12.41! new only from $18.07!
12	Talking Guitar Blues: The Very Best of Lonnie Donegan [Sequel] (1999) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan A case could be made that Lonnie Donegan had as much to do with the rise of rock & roll as Elvis Presley did, at least in Britain. As early as 1954, Donegan was playing what was essentially folk-rock, American folk tunes played on acoustic instruments, but supported with one hell of a backbeat. Termed "skiffle," Donegan's energetic folk ... see all copies from $15.61! new only from $33.19!
13 view cover	Collection (1998) more music like this by Ashley Hutchings see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
14 view cover	Troubadours of British Folk, Vol. 1: Unearthing the Tradition (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's Troubadours of British Folk series, encompassing three volumes, four decades, 49 songs, and almost as many performers, is a model genre retrospective. For those who want a representative collection of the style's highlights, it covers virtually all of the major performers and innovators of British folk, represented by their best-known (and ... see all copies from $49.30!
15 view cover	More Than "Pye in the Sky" (1993) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan Eight CDs, and nearly 10 hours of music may seem like overkill to most onlookers, but this is a boxed set that truly justifies itself, once you've listened to it. What is here is amazing--this set presents Lonnie Donegan as the prodigious musical talent he actually was, a white bluesman extraordinaire and a country, rockabilly, and gospel singer ... see all copies from $153.27! new only from $237.77!
16 view cover	Guv'nor, Vol. 1 [Castle] (1999) more music like this by Ashley Hutchings This compilation (originally issued in 1994), which bills itself as "a retrospective of the work of Ashley Hutchings containing all rare, archive and previously unreleased material" is a vital document for anyone interested in the development of British folk-rock. After all, Hutchings was a founder of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, and the ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $11.03!
17 view cover	A Gigster's Life for Me (1996) more music like this by Alan Price & The Electric Blues Company A part of the Sanctuary Blues Masters series, former Animal keyboardist Alan Price has never remained inactive. Whether doing soundtrack work, playing in his own blues bands, or doing arranging or session work, he's been more active than any other member of his former band; he also has the distinction of playing piano on Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
18 view cover	The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group (1999) more music like this by Chas McDevitt see all copies from $24.68! new only from $24.68!
19 view cover	Muleskinner Blues (1999) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
20 view cover	King of Skiffle [Castle 2000] (2000) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan A case could be made that Lonnie Donegan had as much to do with the rise of rock & roll as Elvis Presley did, at least in Britain. As early as 1954, Donegan was playing what was essentially folk-rock, American folk tunes played on acoustic instruments, but supported with one hell of a backbeat. Termed "skiffle," Donegan's energetic folk ... see all copies from $9.50!
21 view cover	In the Summertime [Repetoire] (1970) more music like this by Mungo Jerry The title-track is still one of the most beguiling (if casually sexist) hits of its era, but the other 14 songs are even more interesting: Jesse Fuller-influenced jug band ("San Francisco Bay Blues," "See Me") and Tampa Red-style kazoo blues ("Maggie"), as well as the influence of Piano Red ("Mighty Man") and credible instrumental blues-rock ( ... see all copies from $12.33! new only from $12.33!
22 view cover	Up Jumped the Devil (1957) more music like this by Ken Colyer This previously unissued program (released on a 1995 CD by the British Upbeat label) features one of the more famous versions of trumpeter Ken Colyer's Jazzmen in prime form. The recording quality is not flawless, but the spirit of the often ensemble-oriented music certainly shines through. Colyer teams up with clarinetist Ian Wheeler, trombonist ... see all copies from $12.54! new only from $12.54!
23 view cover	In the Summertime: Original Greatest Hits (2001) more music like this by Mungo Jerry see all copies from $29.98! new only from $29.98!
24 view cover	1953 British Hit Parade: Britain's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $30.39! new only from $30.39!
25 view cover	10,000 Years Ago (1996) more music like this by The Vipers Skiffle Group In a way, it's unfortunate that Bear Family has chosen to release the Vipers' complete recordings in one set. A lot of the stuff is great, and even the stuff that isn't is still fascinating -- the problem is that this three-CD set costs close to $100. That is a major investment demand for a group that is hardly remembered at all outside of England ... see all copies from $136.02! new only from $136.02!
