1	In the Heart of the Moon (2005) more music like this by Ali Farka Touré/Toumani Diabate In the Heart of the Moon is a duet recording by Malian guitar slinger Ali Farka Toure and Mandé lineage griot Toumani Diabate on kora. There are a few other players who contribute percussion here and there, and Ry Cooder plays a Kawai piano on a couple of tracks and a Ripley guitar on one, but other than these cats, this is a live duo set without ... see all copies from $12.63! new only from $16.52!
2	The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death (1965) more music like this by John Fahey A strange man, John Fahey, with an unusual set of guitar styles. This album, originally released on Riverboat Records and later reissued by Fahey's own Takoma label, has a lot of rough edges in terms of the recording but a tremendous amount of power when it comes to the music. Fahey was at the top of his game, alternately playful and dark, so ... see all copies from $11.23! new only from $13.71!
3	Chester & Lester [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins/Les Paul Chester & Lester is a beautiful and fun album by two masters. It was recorded in the mid-'70s when Chet Atkins was in his fifties and Les Paul was in his sixties. The latter had been in retirement for a decade before the recording of this album. Nashville studio musicians, including Randy Goodrum on piano and Larrie Londin on drums, back up the ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $11.06!
4	Endless Road (2005) more music like this by Tommy Emmanuel Originally released in 2002 in Tommy Emmanuel's native Australia (where he's a jazz and folk guitar legend) but not available in the States until 2005, Endless Road is a solo acoustic album that in its revamped form adds a pair of unimpressive vocal numbers. Emmanuel's fingerpicking style is heavily influenced by Chet Atkins, who appears here on a ... see all copies from $12.53! new only from $12.53!
5	Guitar Music (1981) more music like this by Leo Kottke Twelve solid guitar instrumentals. Chip Renner, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.79!
6	Days Have Gone By, Vol. 6 (1967) more music like this by John Fahey Sam Graham once referred to Fahey as the "curmudgeon of the acoustic guitar," while producer Samuel Charters noted that Fahey "was the only artist I ever worked with whose sales went down after he made public appearances." This tumultuous spirit, in turn, made tumultuous music on albums like Days Have Gone By, filled with odd harmonics, discord, ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $13.20!
7	The Complete Folkways Recordings (1958) (1958) more music like this by Joseph Spence These recordings of Joseph Spence, made by Samuel Charters in 1958, display one of the most inventive guitar styles ever put to tape. Spence improvised on traditional tunes in a manner comparable to African-Americans Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi Fred McDowell, like them adding rhythmic and melodic accents and changes in unexpected ways. In ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $14.78!
8	The Best of John Fahey 1959-1977 (1977) more music like this by John Fahey The title of this compilation is a little misleading. Although it is indeed an anthology, and the most recent two tracks were recorded in 1977, nothing was recorded as early as 1959. In fact, nothing was recorded before the mid-'60s. If you believe the track notes, nothing was recorded before 1967, though it should be pointed out that the two ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $16.81!
9	The Dance of Death & Other Plantation Favorites [CD] (1965) more music like this by John Fahey The title The Dance of Death and Other Plantation Favorites might lead some to believe that this is a collection of public-domain items that go back to the Deep South of the 19th century. However, while this 1964 session does contain a song titled "Dance of Death," most of the material (including that tune) was written by Fahey himself in the ... see all copies from $13.88! new only from $16.81!
10	The Early Years 1946-1957 (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins In 1947, when the first material in this five-disc box set was cut, Chet Atkins (still using his given name Chester) was a struggling journeyman guitarist looking for a steady gig. By the end of disc five, Atkins was firmly established as one of Nashville's top-call sessionmen and a successful producer and A&R man at RCA Victor's Nashville office, ... see all copies from $23.85! new only from $25.07!

12 view cover	Sixty Six Steps (2005) more music like this by Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon The second collaboration of Leo Kottke with ex-Phish bassist Mike Gordon finds the duo exploring breezy Caribbean sounds, with a few surprise covers. The musicians work wonderfully together, with Gordon's meaty yet malleable bass grounding and darting around Kottke's distinctive and agile fingerpicked lines. Percussion reinforces the island sound ... see all copies from $12.54! new only from $15.99!
13 view cover	The Legend of Blind Joe Death (1996) more music like this by John Fahey The saga of Blind Joe Death is an extremely confusing one, for those listeners who haven't been following Fahey's career from the beginning. In short: Fahey originally recorded Blind Joe Death in 1959, in an extremely rare, self-released edition of less than 100 copies. Though few heard it, his debut album was a groundbreaker on the acoustic folk ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $12.75!
14 view cover	The Essential Chet Atkins [Legacy] (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins Chet Atkins is more esteemed as a session musician and producer than as a solo artist, and critics have rightly noted that much of his immense catalog as a solo artist is unimpressive. It might thus be assumed that it would be difficult to pick a two-CD, 40-track career-spanning retrospective that would both represent much of his finest solo ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $21.33!
15 view cover	John Fahey/Peter Lang/Leo Kottke (1974) more music like this by Various Artists Not a collaboration between the artists, as you might think from a glance at the title, but a compilation, featuring four songs apiece from each of the guitarists. Fahey, Kottke, and Lang (a considerably less celebrated name than the other two) all recorded for Fahey's Takoma label, and all played haunting acoustic guitar instrumentals that relied ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $13.78!
16 view cover	The Spring of Sixty-Five (1992) more music like this by Joseph Spence & The Pinder Family These recordings come from two separate occasions. Six tracks were recorded in New York City during Joseph Spence's first tour of the U.S., and prominently feature Spence's guitar and vocals, with harmonies and occasional lead vocals from his sister Edith Pinder. The other seven selections were recorded at the same sessions that yielded the ... see all copies from $12.12! new only from $15.29!
17 view cover	The Best of the Capitol Years (2003) more music like this by Leo Kottke The first of two discs (released simultaneously and sporting nearly identical covers) recaps Leo Kottke's early years from 1970-1975 when he recorded for the Capitol label. As is indicated by the title, this features only Kottke's amazing fretwork, bypassing the vocals that much of his audience dealt with in a grin-and-bear-it fashion. There is no ... see all copies from $10.68! new only from $13.87!
18 view cover	The Yellow Princess [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by John Fahey This particular John Fahey side is a personal favorite of many of his devout fans for several reasons. And although such a judgment is tough, if one were looking to own only one album by this unique guitarist, The Yellow Princess could be the one. The recording sound is among the best of his many releases; at the proper volume, the effect is as if ... see all copies from $13.19! new only from $15.40!
19 view cover	Of Rivers & Religion/After The Ball (2004) more music like this by John Fahey This German Warner Bros. reissue is a nice repackaging of the late John Fahey's 1972 album Of Rivers & Religion and his wonderfully genteel 1973 release After the Ball from his all too brief sojourn with the label. These recordings represent a shift for Fahey, playing both solo and with an ensemble. On Of Rivers & Religion, the ensemble included ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
20 view cover	The Badi Assad Collection: The Best of Badi (2006) more music like this by Badi Assad see all copies from $20.59! new only from $20.59!
21 view cover	Return of the Repressed: The John Fahey Anthology (1994) more music like this by John Fahey Back in the 1960s, when fingerpicking folk guitarists were a dime a dozen, John Fahey stood out for several reasons. For one thing, his sense of humor was sophisticated and unfashionably cynical for the period (this is the guy, remember, who simultaneously celebrated the blues tradition and ridiculed his own blues pretensions by adopting the nom ... see all copies from $26.31! new only from $26.31!
22 view cover	Happy All the Time (1964) more music like this by Joseph Spence Waxed for Elektra in 1964, this has better sound than the Folkways recordings and offers some of Spence's most percussive playing. Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.10! new only from $13.96!
23 view cover	Verde [2005] (2005) more music like this by Badi Assad The exotic, one of a kind Brazilian guitarist, singer, and rhythmic mouth and body percussionist has had a stop-and-start career with turns as mysterious and intriguing as her music. After splashing on the scene with her Chesky debut Solo in 1994, continuing the stir (including vast critical acclaim) with Rhythms (1995) and releasing Chameleon on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.38!
24 view cover	Rain Forests Oceans & Other Themes (1985) more music like this by John Fahey see all copies from $9.40! new only from $14.74!
25 view cover	Horombe (1995) more music like this by D'Gary & Jihe The fine Madagascaran guitarist, brought to the ears of the Western world by Henry Kaiser and David Lindley by their excellent compilation A World Out of Time, here leads his own working band, Jihe, in an enjoyable collection of work, somewhat more pop-oriented than heard from him previously. D'Gary (whose given name is Ernest Randrianasolo) has a ... see all copies from $59.97! new only from $59.97!
