Eileen Ivers
Anytime a Celtic folk album includes credits for "beatbox" and "drum loop," it's safe to say that it's not out to please the genre purists, and on Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul, it sounds like Ivers has indeed decided to expand her audience from the Riverdance/Green Linnet Records crowd.

Crooked Still
Crooked Still isn't reinventing anything on its debut album, which is full of traditional country songs like "Darling Corey," "Shady Grove," and "Flora" (aka "The Lily of the West"), and some familiar copyrighted ones, such as Robert Johnson's "Last Fair Deal Gone Down" and Albert E. Brumley's "Rank Stranger." To the extent there is anything ...

Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002]

by
Pete Seeger
"Greatest Hits," as Seeger himself wryly wrote in his liner notes, is a misnomer considering that he never had hit singles or huge-selling albums as a solo artist, though actually "Little Boxes" (included here) made the lower reaches of the charts. In reality this 1967 compilation (since reissued on CD) collects the most popular tracks of his 1962 ...

Another great JSP boxed set of archival music at a budget price, All the Classic Releases 1937-1949 collects a great selection of Bill Monroe's recordings both with his Bluegrass Boys and with his brother Charlie as the Monroe Brothers. The extensive (though not really informative) liner notes don't really shed any light as to whether these are ...

For most listeners, the three-disc, 86-track Sanctuary/Castle collection Rock Island Line: The Singles Anthology 1955-1967 will be nearly as overwhelming as the eight-disc, all-encompassing Bear Family box More Than "Pye in the Sky," since a little Lonnie Donegan can go a long way for the average listener.

The high spirited debut of Portland's explosive bluegrass rockers, Golden Delicious' Old School is one of the best syntheses of country spirit and punk-rock energy to date.

For starters, the only reason this four-CD box didn't garner a perfect score was that the band Monroe led in the early '50s is a tough one to beat -- especially since it contained Jimmy Martin. Musically, the songs Bill Monroe recorded during this very difficult period for bluegrass music -- rock & roll was killing off country, as well as a host ...

The cover of Bluegrass for Beginners cleverly resembles a spiral notebook, as though the listener were taking a college course in mountain music.
