1	Les Amants du Saint-Laurent (2005) more music like this by Le Vent du Nord The fiddle tunes that come from Quebec clearly have many of the same antecedents (England, Ireland, Scotland) as those that are found in Cape Breton and the American South. But they have a unique flavor as well, probably thanks to the French influence -- a sweet but melancholy character that makes them especially attractive. And the Quebecois ... see all copies from $11.20! new only from $13.99!
2	Le Meteque [France] (1969) more music like this by Georges Moustaki see all copies from $4.98! new only from $4.98!
3	The Rough Guide to Paris Cafe Music (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Paris is more than the city of romance. It's also the city of cafes -- the famous sidewalk places of beautiful women, and existential philosophers linger over dark coffee. But over the last century those cafes have also given Paris a musical identity, that of the bals musette , its songs and melodies powered by the accordion. The great chanteuse ... see all copies from $9.88! new only from $9.88!
4	Putumayo Presents: Music from the Wine Lands (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Lovingly compiled as expected, Putumayo's Music from the Wine Lands collects 13 tracks from the world's premier grape-growing regions and includes extensive liner notes -- in Spanish, French, and English -- that delve into both the artists and the local wines. Putumayo finds a nice balance between budding contemporary artists like Australian jazz ... see all copies from $11.15! new only from $13.37!

6	The Greatest Songs Ever: France [2006] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists The French volume in the Greatest Songs Ever series is a stunner. With 20th and 21st century tunes by the likes of Charles Trenet, Edith Piaf, Gilbert Becoud, Julien Clerc, Charles Aznavour and Henri Salvador, it's tough to argue. Still the absence of immensely popular singers like modern-day chanteuse Patricia Kaas, the great French hero Serge ... see all copies from $12.22! new only from $16.11!

8	Master Serie (1995) more music like this by Georges Moustaki This compilation serves as a good showcase for the work of singer/songwriter Georges Moustaki. Though Moustaki spent a decade composing for such French notables as Edith Piaf, Yves Montand, and Barbara, his solo career didn't take off until the huge success of "Le Métèque" in 1969. Like his mentor Georges Brassens, Moustaki performs mostly to the ... see all copies from $9.13! new only from $9.13!

12 view cover	Dans Les Airs (2007) more music like this by Le Vent du Nord On their third album, Le Vent du Nord continues to explore the combinations of multiple cultural music traditions -- from France and its many sources through to Canadian sources, French, English, and otherwise -- to create another stellar listen. The band's sheer exuberance is its own power source, but there's something about their excellent ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $13.99!

16 view cover	Rough Guide to the Music of Canada (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Another in World Music Network's exhaustive Rough Guide to Music series, the Rough Guide to the Music of Canada is an excellent compilation of artists obscured by pop culture, like French-Canadian acts Florent Vollent and fiddler Emile Benoit, as well as those who skirt the edges (Bruce Cockburn, Natalie MacMaster), and covers ground old (Stan ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $13.16!

20 view cover	Come What May (1989) more music like this by Ad Vielle Que Pourra Come What May represents the acme of this Montreal-based quintet's attempts to create a new, more sophisticated folk music out of Breton roots. (The Bretons are the Celts of northern France.) Although the same whirring, wheezing combination of hurdy-gurdy, accordion, bombarde, and so forth is found on this album as on the group's earlier efforts, ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $13.70!
