1	The Essential Chieftains (2006) more music like this by The Chieftains 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 $22.14! new only from $22.14!
2	Shine Eyed Mister Zen (1999) more music like this by Kelly Joe Phelps Phelps' third album is an accomplished serving of country blues that combines the sweet and sour power of his guitar playing with the equally bittersweet charge of Phelps' wearied voice. Shine Eyed Mister Zen features a lot of singing, but most importantly it spotlights the singing of Phelps' slide guitar, which integrates a humid and natural ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.65!
3	Down the Old Plank Road: The Nashville Sessions (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains 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 $2.59! new only from $9.85!
4	Trouble in Mind: Doc Watson Country Blues Collection (2003) more music like this by Doc Watson Trouble in Mind makes an interesting argument: Doc Watson, long deified in bluegrass and traditional folk circles, is also a fine country blues player. Perhaps the misunderstanding comes from the long tradition of dividing blues and folk players into different genres, or the mistaken assumption that black musicians (who often played the blues) ... see all copies from $14.96! new only from $14.96!
5	I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Though it was obviously released simply to capitalize on the resurgence of interest in old-timey music occasioned by the success of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the 20-track collection I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow is an amazing, practically faultless compilation. Virtually every song here is a classic, whether for fans of old-timey, country, early ... see all copies from $4.47! new only from $20.70!
6	3D (2006) more music like this by Casey Dreissen When one first glances at the cover of Casey Driessen's 3D, it's difficult to know what to expect. Driessen's red hair is brushed back, and he's wearing these funky 3D glasses with a "3" on one lens and a "D" on the other. From this info, one might be prepared for spacey electronic music or perhaps a surrealistic singer/songwriter. But the final ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.90!
7	Delusions of Banjer (1992) more music like this by Bad Livers Upon first listen, the Bad Livers' debut recording sounds like a good, old-timey bluegrass album, but by the time the tuba enters on the third track, you begin to realize that this is not your average bluegrass combo. Danny Barnes has got the chops on both guitar and banjo, and sings in a voice no more nasal than many of the genre's stalwarts. He ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $9.91!
8	American Folk Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A bit like a single-disc, condensed version of Harry Smith's famous Anthology of American Folk Music (most of these tracks can be found there), this fine compilation features commercially released 78s from the 1920s and 1930s, and pretty much covers the gamut of early American vernacular music, with a fair sampling of Cajun, country-blues, gospel ... see all copies from $5.69! new only from $5.69!
9	The Lost Broadcasts: 1968-1972 (2004) more music like this by Pentangle Pentangle earned its inclusion in the holy trinity of British folk-rock -- along with Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span -- through a combination of vision, tenacity, and the virtuoso guitar playing of John Renbourn and Bert Jansch. At their peak they were a force of nature, seamlessly incorporating blues and jazz into the structured world of ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
10	Heading for Home (2003) more music like this by Peggy Seeger In September 2002, 67-year-old folksinger Peggy Seeger holed up in a cottage in rural England with her two sons, Calum and Neill MacColl, and recorded 40 tracks -- enough for three CDs -- which Appleseed Recordings plans to issue on a yearly basis starting with this first installment. "For the first time in my life," she writes in her liner notes, ... see all copies from $16.19! new only from $16.19!
11 view cover	Blue Lightning (1990) more music like this by Jody Stecher w/ Kate Brislin Based in Seattle, this duo has the ability to perform contemporary as well a traditional songs with a singular relaxed authority. They own this music, they don't just play it, as in "Blue Diamond Mines." Richard Meyer, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!

14 view cover	Americana Master Series: Best of Doc Watson (2008) more music like this by Doc Watson A true American treasure, Doc Watson recorded regularly for Barry Poss' Sugar Hill Records beginning in the early '60s (Watson was still working with the label as recently as 2006 when he released an album with guitarist Bryan Sutton), and this delightful 14-track collection cherry-picks some of the best tracks from that long and fruitful ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
