1	Classic Old-Time Music (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The songs featured on Smithsonian/Folkways' Classic Old-Time Music were mostly recorded in the late '50s and early '60s (with a few scattered throughout the '70s) and celebrate many of the performers who not only toured the festival circuits at that time, but many who sowed the seeds of the entire folk revival. Old-timey legends like Dock Boggs, ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $10.04!
2	Back Roads to Cold Mountain (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Charles Frazier's novel Cold Mountain, is a powerful, widely celebrated novel that takes places during the Civil War. But Frazier's book is not about the war itself so much as the life lived n the rural American South during its long dark night. Back Roads to Cold Mountain is a collection of music assembled by ethnomusicologist and roots musician ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $14.04!

4	Soon Be Time (2006) more music like this by Bruce Molsky Bruce Molsky's sixth album Soon Be Time is another sweet and plainspoken exploration of various American music traditions, with the occasional foray into the British Isles and over to Eastern Europe just to keep things interesting. Equally accomplished on fiddle, guitar, and clawhammer banjo, and possessed of a singing voice that has nothing to ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!

6	Original Folkways Recordings: 1960-1962 (1994) more music like this by Doc Watson & Clarence Ashley This important release documents the rediscovery of banjoist and comedian Clarence (Tom) Ashley in the early '60s, and the simultaneous introduction of a young and then-unknown guitar picker, the astounding Doc Watson.

7	Friends of Old Time Music: The Folk Arrival (2006) more music like this by Various Artists At the height of the folk revival in the early '60s, three movers and shakers -- Ralph Rinzler (a member of the Greenbriar Boys folk group), John Cohen (of the New Lost City Ramblers) and Israel "Izzy" Young (owner of the Folklore Center in Greenwich Village) -- presented a number of traditional folk concerts in New York City under the umbrella of ... see all copies from $35.26! new only from $35.26!
8	Music and Songs of the Southern Appalachians (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This is an extremely deceitful album. It purports to be a collection of traditional Appalachian instrumentals featuring ex-Rooftop Singer Erik Darling (he is listed on the cover as Eric rather than Erik), supposedly featuring him on guitar, banjo, dulcimer, fiddle, and harmonica. The first 20 tracks here, though, are actually field recordings of ... see all copies from $3.05! new only from $3.05!

12 view cover	Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians (1997) more music like this by Various Artists A group of 20 field recordings of various dances ("Cripple Creek," "Pateroller Song"), folk songs ("Sally Goodin," "The Girl I Left Behind Me," unexpectedly haunting and affecting on harmonica), blues, children's songs ("Skip to My Lou"), and hymns ("Amazing Grace," in an astonishingly beautiful rendition for solo dulcimer), made by Liam Clancy, ... see all copies from $8.70! new only from $8.70!
13 view cover	Masters of the Banjo (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Collecting live performances from the Masters of the Banjo tour from the early 1990s, an impressive audio history of the banjo is provided by way of 26 performances by 11 different artists. Everything from Seleshe Damessae's performances on African krar, an ancient precursor to the modern banjo, to Ralph Stanley's bluegrass workouts is represented ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $16.98!

There doesn't seem to have been an instrument that ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
17 view cover	Soon One Morning (2003) more music like this by Black Twig Pickers Progressive bluegrass in the style of some of Leo Kottke or John Fahey's more roots-oriented salvos, the second album by Virginia's Black Twig Pickers marries unusual instrumentation like cello and baritone banjo, along with some Fahey-like drones and other Eastern influences, to a set heavy on the traditional folk. As a result, familiar -- some ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $8.94!

19 view cover	Songs From the Southern Mountains (1994) more music like this by Doc Watson & Family This contains previously unreleased material from the early '60s as well as three tracks recorded in 1973. It has a scattershot feeling about it that comes from the material being recorded at different times, but it digs up some good stuff along the way. Particularly nice are Watson's performances of Blind Boy Fuller's "My Little Woman, You're So ... see all copies from $13.80! new only from $13.80!
20 view cover	New Lost City Ramblers Vol. 2, 1963-1973, Outstanding in Their Field (1993) more music like this by The New Lost City Ramblers This 72-minute companion piece to The Early Years (1958-1962) is drawn from the seven Folkways albums that the New Lost City Ramblers recorded between 1963 and 1973, following the entry of Tracy Schwartz and the departure of Tom Paley, and it's every bit as essential as the first volume. Continuing their emphasis on careful replication of many ... see all copies from $13.05! new only from $13.05!

As with volume one, it's a fine collection that will appeal mostly to fans of vintage blues and country recordings. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.95! new only from $13.95!
23 view cover	Bluegrass Music from the Appalachian Mountains (1993) more music like this by Various Artists LaserLight's Bluegrass Music from the Appalachian Mountains is a little frustrating. On the surface, it's a valuable collection, since it contains 30 classic traditional tunes, including "Cripple Creek," "One Dime Blues," "Sourwood Mountain," "Amazing Grace," "John Brown's Dream," "Sally Goodin," "Railroad Bill," "Pretty Polly," "John Henry," ... see all copies from $9.99!
