1	Liege & Lief (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention add to wishlist 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 $6.00! new only from $6.00!
2	Garden State (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to Zach Braff's Garden State is nearly as much of a piece with the film as the similarly sweet, quirky combinations of sound and vision in Wes Anderson's films and soundtracks. Garden State, however, is more modern in its outlook and more emotionally direct, with a mixtape earnestness belied by using not one but two songs from the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.54!
3	From the Witchwood (1971) more music like this by The Strawbs add to wishlist This album was originally the weak link in the transition of the Strawbs from an acoustic folk-rock outfit to a progressive-folk band, being neither fish nor fowl and suffering from an anemic mix. The 1998 British reissue (A&M 540-939-2), however, solves some inherent problems that plagued both the original vinyl edition and the first CD reissues. ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
4	The Essential Chieftains (2006) more music like this by The Chieftains add to wishlist RCA Legacy's The Essential Chieftains breaks the legendary Irish collective's career into two sections. The first disc focuses on 18 of the group's finest traditional works like "Boil the Breakfast Early," "The Wind That Shakes the Barley/The Reel with the Beryle," and "Donegal Set," while the second disc relies on 17 of the band's billion or so ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $8.32!
5	Troubadour: The Definitive Collection 1964-1976 (1992) more music like this by Donovan add to wishlist While by no means a complete retrospective, this two-disc compilation contains a healthy sampling from Donovan's first dozen years as a formidable musical figure. His chameleon-like sensibilities not only adapted to, but likewise defined the '60s folk, pop, acid rock and the scene of swingin' London. As well as hitting some of the more obvious ... see all copies from $15.18! new only from $15.18!
6	The Girl Who Couldn't Fly (2005) more music like this by Kate Rusby add to wishlist Yorkshire singer/songwriter Kate Rusby has been quietly resurrecting English folk music for the last ten years with a grace, wit, and reverence that others have attempted yet failed to achieve. 2004's Underneath the Stars was a triumph of contemporary music both new and borrowed, an acoustic symphony of brass, guitars, and Rusby's mesmerizing ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
7	Ten (2003) more music like this by Kate Rusby add to wishlist Kate Rusby is a folksinger through and through, with a tender, lilting voice and a penchant for traditional songs from her native British Isles. What sets her apart is somewhat intangible, though nevertheless there. Perhaps it's the fact that her original compositions snuggle up alongside timeless ballads like old friends. Perhaps it's the fact ... see all copies from $14.61! new only from $14.61!
8	Way to Blue: An Introduction to Nick Drake (1994) more music like this by Nick Drake add to wishlist 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 $19.10!
9	The Nine Maidens (1988) more music like this by John Renbourn add to wishlist Solo album. ~ Michael P. Dawson, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
10	Long Black Veil (1995) more music like this by The Chieftains add to wishlist With Long Black Veil, the Chieftains attempted a mainstream pop crossover by recording with rock and pop stars from the Rolling Stones and Sting to Van Morrison and Sinéad O'Connor. Instead of changing their sound to accommodate the talents of their guests, the band plays it straight. As always, their performance is superb; what is surprising is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.75!
11	Winnie the Pooh: Take My Hand (1995) more music like this by Disney add to wishlist Take My Hand -- Songs from the 100 Acre Wood is a pleasant collection of children's material, featuring a couple of genuinely inspired songs. However, the charm of Winnie the Pooh and his friends makes even the mediocre songs enjoyable, so Take My Hand will please most children. ~ Sara Sytsma, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $183.16!
12	Rum Sodomy & the Lash (1985) more music like this by The Pogues add to wishlist "I saw my task... was to capture them in their delapidated glory before some more professional producer f--ked them up," Elvis Costello wrote of his role behind the controls for the Pogues' second album, Rum Sodomy & the Lash. One spin of the album proves that Costello accomplished his mission; this album captures all the sweat, fire, and angry ... see all copies from $2.20! new only from $14.08!
13	Shoot Out the Lights (1982) more music like this by Richard & Linda Thompson add to wishlist Richard & Linda Thompson's marriage was crumbling as they were recording Shoot Out the Lights in 1982, and many critics have read the album as a chronicle of the couple's divorce. In truth, most of the album's songs had been written two years earlier (when the Thompsons were getting along fine) for an abandoned project produced by Gerry Rafferty, ... see all copies from $2.69! new only from $10.76!
14	Front Parlour Ballads (2005) more music like this by Richard Thompson add to wishlist As a live performer, Richard Thompson has become nearly as well known for his dazzling solo acoustic performances as he has for his blazing full-band electric sets, but he hasn't displayed nearly as much enthusiasm for the acoustic guitar in the studio, usually limiting himself to one or two non-electric tunes on each of his albums (though 1996's ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $8.95!
15	Misty Eyed Adventures (1995) more music like this by Máire Brennan add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.99!
16	Máire (1992) more music like this by Máire Brennan add to wishlist The debut solo effort from Maire Brennan, lead singer of the Irish group Clannad, finds here exploring musical styles from worldbeat to the flowing vocal and keyboard style of her younger sister, Enya. The album begins with "Ce Leis," a sad, haunting tune written by Maire to Celtic harp and soft keyboard accompaniment. We then take a 180-degree ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $8.71!
17	Daring Adventures (1986) more music like this by Richard Thompson add to wishlist Richard Thompson's second Polydor album contained some terrific and varied songs, from the raucous "A Bone Through Her Nose" to the mournful "Missie How You Let Me Down" and "Al Bowlly's In Heaven." Good as it was, it didn't establish Thompson as a big seller, and Polydor dropped him. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.65! new only from $13.44!
18	Banba (1994) more music like this by Clannad add to wishlist Clannad continues in the trend of the last few albums with their latest release, Banba. Though certainly a pop effort, the Celtic influences are still present, this time in a more subdued, low-key production. ~ David Jehnzen, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $27.99!
19	The Wide World Over: A 40 Year Celebration (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains add to wishlist In the Chieftains' four decades of recording, they've changed labels a handful of times, and each label has seen fit to record at least one or two collections of the band's output under their tenure. At this point they have so many best-ofs and greatest-hits compilations, it's tough for the listener to know the best of what they're actually ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.71!
20	The Old Kit Bag [Bonus CD] (2003) more music like this by Richard Thompson add to wishlist Richard Thompson is the sort of artist destined to be a cherished cult item rather than a bona fide star, which at the dawn of the 21st century puts him in an uncomfortable place in the music industry -- being able to reliably sell 100,000 copies of an album makes you too small for a major label, no matter how long they've kept you on the roster. ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $13.80!
21	A Treasury (2004) more music like this by Nick Drake add to wishlist Poor Nick Drake. The soft-spoken introvert may have spent his days upon this earth as a struggling singer/songwriter, but since leaving, his atmospheric and distinctly melancholy songs have become a pop culture fixture. Rescued from British folk oblivion by a one-off Volkswagen commercial, his name has since been bandied about by critics looking ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
22	Red Roses for Me [Bonus Tracks] (1984) more music like this by The Pogues add to wishlist What set the Pogues apart from any number of other energetic Irish traditional bands was the sheer physical force of their performances, the punky swagger of their personalities, and Shane MacGowan's considerable gifts as a songwriter. Unfortunately, none of these qualities comes through very clearly on their first album, Red Roses for Me. While ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $8.54!
23	Down the Old Plank Road: The Nashville Sessions (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains add to wishlist In the wake of the success of O Brother Where Art Thou?, this collaboration between Irish supergroup the Chieftains and some of country's best known neo-traditionalists was almost inevitable. Luckily for all involved, the idea actually makes a lot of sense too. Most of the ballads and work songs that were born in the Appalachian hills have deep ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.94!
24	Action Packed: The Best of the Capitol Years (2001) more music like this by Richard Thompson add to wishlist Richard Thompson has been the archetypal critics' favorite since his days with Fairport Convention in the late '60s and early '70s, a guitarist of obvious skill and originality who brings the fingerpicking prowess of folk to electric rock and, increasingly, a literate songwriter whose songs, by turns droll and dour, are sung with authority, but he ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
25	The Chieftains 5 (1975) more music like this by The Chieftains add to wishlist see all copies from $10.00!
