Other Voices, Other Rooms

Other Voices, Other Rooms (1993) more music like this

by Nanci Griffith

Nanci Griffith has the kind of beguiling singing voice that's effortless and easily beautiful -- like a pretty girl who doesn't ever need makeup to be radiant. Sounding a little bit like Emmylou Harris is never a bad thing, but Griffith doesn't stop there. She duets with Harris and a host of other country and folk notables on Other Voices, Other ...

Ry Cooder (1970) more music like this

by Ry Cooder

Already a seasoned music business veteran at the age of 22, Ry Cooder stepped out from behind the shadows of the likes of Jackie DeShannon, Taj Mahal, the Rolling Stones, and Captain Beefheart, signing his own deal with Warner Brothers records in 1969. Released the following year, Cooder's eponymous debut creates an intriguing fusion of blues, ...

The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie

The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie (1972) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

A two-record set released on one CD, this collection of great Woody Guthrie songs performed by some of Guthrie's apostles, as well as by Guthrie himself, serves as a nice overview of his music. From the opening notes of "This Land Is Your Land" and a composite arrangement that starts with Guthrie and his guitar, then folds into the Weavers ...

Precious Friend

Precious Friend (1982) more music like this

by Arlo Guthrie/Pete Seeger

Recorded in late summer of 1981, Precious Friend, the second of Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger's live collaborations, is pretty much what you would expect. Seeger is his usual folksy self, leading the crowd through a series of folk tunes ranging from the traditional African chant "Wimoweh (Mbube)" to Harry Chapin's "Circles," while Guthrie mixes his ...

Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly

Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly (1988) more music like this

The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1-4 (1999) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie's Asch Recordings, Vol. 1-4 is another shining example of Smithsonian/Folkways' ability to create a historically important document that is both fun and enriching. Combining four separate compilations (This Land Is Your Land: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1, Muleskinner Blues: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 2, Hard Travelin': The Asch ...

Popular Songbook

Popular Songbook (2003) more music like this

by The Alan Lomax Collection

Since Alan Lomax spent his life traveling American and European backroads in search of genuine folk songs, it's difficult to think of his name in conjunction with popular music. Popular Songbook, though, asks the listener to do just that, and the collection's reasoning for doing so is a sound one. A number of songs Lomax gathered on his collecting ...

Tom Rush [1965]

Tom Rush [1965] (1965) more music like this

by Tom Rush

It's unfortunate that Tom Rush's third album has such a strong reputation among rock listeners -- not that it doesn't deserve it, but it sort of distracts them from this album, which was as natural a fit for rock listeners as any folk album of its era. Rush's debut album is filled with a hard, bluesy brand of folk music that's hard on the acoustic ...

A Proper Introduction to Woody Guthrie: This Land Is Your Land

A Proper Introduction to Woody Guthrie: This Land Is Your Land (2004) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

There are countless Woody Guthrie compilations on the market, most of which draw on either his early-'40s recordings for Alan Lomax or the Moe Asch recordings from later in the decade. In Guthrie's case, it hardly makes a difference, since his approach and sound are the same in both instances, a mix of traditional folk songs with poignant ...

Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this

by Cisco Houston

Of the singers who brought folk into the modern era around World War II, Cisco Houston seems to have less name recognition than either Woody Guthrie or Leadbelly. Not a songwriter himself, Houston did a great deal to promote the songs and legacy of Guthrie during the mid- to late-'50s, and a number of songs on this recording come from Cisco ...

This Land Is Your Land: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

You'd think the last word in Woody Guthrie reissues would have appeared before this. After all, the legendary folksinger recorded most of his best work nearly 60 years before this was released, and the bulk of it has been regularly reissued in fine collections on Folkways, Rounder, and other labels. So this CD is as surprising as it is welcome. ...

Folkways: The Original Vision [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Folkways: The Original Vision was released in 1988 as a complement to the Columbia album Folkways: A Vision Shared (which featured modern performers doing interpretations of Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie songs), which in turn was done to help provide funds for the Smithsonian Institution to incorporate the Folkways Record Company into its archives. ...

by Deborah Holland

This is a collection of Depression-era songs from a variety of sources like Woody Guthrie ("Do Re Mi"), Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart ("Ten Cents a Dance") and E.Y. "Yip" Harburg ("Brother Can you Spare a Dime"). Whether these songs originated as blues, folk, jazz or country songs, singer Deborah Holland delivers them in her expressive and ...

Cisco Houston Sings the Songs of Woody Guthrie (1963) more music like this

by Cisco Houston

Cisco Houston is sometimes more remembered for his association with Woody Guthrie than for his gift as a folksinger. His smooth, deep baritone was interpreted by many folk purists as "commercial," thus inauthentic, and unlike Guthrie, he preferred interpreting other writer's songs as opposed to writing his own. Released two years after Houston's ...

The First Rays of Protest in the 20th Century (2006) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie/Pete Seeger

European law limits the copyrights on recordings to only 50 years, and the Primo label ("Made in The Czech Republic") is one of many record companies to take advantage of that by issuing unlicensed collections by vintage artists. This album contains two 20-track discs, the first devoted to Woody Guthrie, the second to Pete Seeger. The Guthrie CD ...

Woody Guthrie and Songs of My Oklahoma Home (2000) more music like this

by James Talley

Oklahoma-born James Talley gives stirring accounts of most of the 21 Woody Guthrie songs on this 70-minute CD. Richard Hardy's mandolin adds considerable color to the timbre of these well-arranged recordings, which are dominated by Talley's suitably emotive and pleasing voice. Talley evidently identifies deeply with much of this repertory and ...

by Woody Guthrie

On March 17, 1956, a benefit concert for Woody Guthrie's children was held at the Pythian Hall in New York City. Guthrie by then was hospitalized, suffering from Huntington's disease, but he made one of his last public appearances sitting in the audience. Millard Lampell, a former member of the Almanac Singers along with Guthrie, wrote a script ...
