1	The Essential Earl Scruggs (2004) more music like this by Earl Scruggs "The Paganini of the banjo"'s finest moments are collected on Columbia/Legacy's aptly named Essential Earl Scruggs. Unlike many other "best-of" collections, this two-disc set gathers tracks from nearly all of the stages of Scruggs' career, from his early days as one of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, through his genre-defining work with Lester ... see all copies from $21.81! new only from $22.14!
2	Will the Circle Be Unbroken (1972) more music like this by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band With all due respect to the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, it took the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with this album to come up with a merger of rock and country music that worked for both sides and everyone involved. The opening number, "The Grand Ole Opry Song," set the tone for the album, showing that this band -- for all of their origins in ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $7.00!
3	Three Pickers (2003) more music like this by Earl Scruggs/Doc Watson/Ricky Skaggs Folk and bluegrass legends meet live on-stage on Rounder's bright and entertaining Three Pickers. The titular "pickers" are bluegrass banjo innovator Earl Scruggs, guitarist and folk purist Doc Watson, and relative newcomer (with only 45 years of musical experience under his belt) Ricky Skaggs on mandolin and guitar; they work most often as a trio ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $12.25!
4	Will the Circle Be Unbroken: The Trilogy (2003) more music like this by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band In 1972, long before O Brother, Where Art Thou? allowed hipsters and intermittent record buyers through the great oak doors of traditional country music, California's Nitty Gritty Dirt Band gathered legends and soon to become legends of country music into a Nashville studio and made the sprawling Will the Circle Be Unbroken. The success of this ... see all copies from $42.00! new only from $42.00!
5	Banjo Bandits (1978) more music like this by Roy Clark/Buck Trent see all copies from $3.99! new only from $3.99!
6	16 Biggest Hits (2002) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs This isn't the definitive Flatt & Scruggs collection, but it does contain a majority of the duo's best Columbia sides, including "'Tis Sweet to Be Remembered," "The Ballad of Jed Clampett," "Pearl Pearl Pearl," and the hit version of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" from Bonnie & Clyde. It nicely encapsulates the two-disc 'Tis Sweet to Be Remembered ... see all copies from $4.71! new only from $11.06!
7	Dueling Banjos (1973) more music like this by Eric Weissberg/Steve Mandell/Marshall Brickman Despite the long-term damage this film and the soundtrack's title theme did to bluegrass, the soundtrack stands as one of the best introductions to instrumental bluegrass available. The blistering virtuosity of multi-instrumentalists Eric Weissberg and Marshall Brickman ripple through such traditional numbers as "Shuckin' the Corn," "Little Maggie ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $9.55!
8	Foggy Mountain Breakdown (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Included are 16 tracks from such artists as Lester Flatt, Josh Graves, Don Reno, and the Osborne Brothers. All Music Guide, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.21! new only from $7.21!

10	Classic Bluegrass Live: 1959-1966 (2002) more music like this by Earl Scruggs While cobbled together from mostly previously released material, Classic Bluegrass Live nonetheless neatly captures banjoist Earl Scruggs on his arc through the folk revival of the 1960s. The disc is culled from three performances at the renowned Newport Folk Festival -- one with Hylo Brown in 1959 and two with longtime partner Lester Flatt in ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
11 view cover	The 'Tis Sweet to Be Remembered: Essential Flatt & Scruggs (1997) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs Excepting a few years with Mercury at the beginning of their career, Flatt & Scruggs made all of their studio recordings for Columbia. This double-disc set is the most useful survey of their work for the label, spanning 1950 to 1969, and throwing in three unreleased tracks along the way. In addition to the expected sterling bluegrass, it has their ... see all copies from $14.02! new only from $18.11!
12 view cover	Can't You Hear Me Callin' - Bluegrass: 80 Years of American Music (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The title pretty much says it on this deluxe four-disc package from Sony's Legacy imprint. Here on four discs are 109 performances that cover the spectrum of American bluegrass, beginning with its pre-birth roots in Appalachian country string band music via the recordings of Gid Tanner, Charlie Poole & the Blue Ridge Ramblers, and the Carters in ... see all copies from $42.60! new only from $42.60!
13 view cover	Front Porch Pickin': 24 Great Bluegrass Instrument (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Front Porch Pickin' features a wealth of bluegrass performances by a variety of performers.

Some of the selections include Raymond Fairchild's "Cripple Creek"; Earl Taylor, Jim McCall, and the Stoney Mountain Boys ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
14 view cover	Songs of the South (1970) more music like this by Carl Jackson Guitar picker, singer, and banjo player extraordinaire Carl Jackson recorded two lovely albums in 1980 and 1982, Banjo Man and Song of the South, respectively.

An impressive guest list weighs in on Songs of the South, including Emmylou Harris ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
15 view cover	The Definitive Bluegrass Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Calling any album The Definitive Bluegrass Collection is a bold statement for any record label, especially so for CMH. Luckily for them, they've got the rights to the definitive versions of a lot of bluegrass standards, like the Osborne Brothers' "Rocky Top," "Are You Missing Me" by Jim & Jesse, and "I'm Using My Bible for a Roadmap" by Don Reno, ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
16	Greatest Hits (1966) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs A concise sampler for those who don't want their 20 All-Time Great Recordings album. Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide see all copies from $18.00!
17 view cover	New Deal (2003) more music like this by Tony Trischka Tony Trischka has been a banjo innovator since his earliest recordings in the 1970s. He is widely credited -- usually in tandem with fellow pioneering stylist Bill Keith -- with inventing the "melodic" style of bluegrass banjo playing, an approach which focuses on chromatic lines rather than the rhythmic arpeggios of Scruggs-style picking. On New ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $15.70!
18 view cover	Foggy Mountain Jamboree (1957) more music like this by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs Widely regarded as one of bluegrass' most influential recordings, Foggy Mountain Jamboree introduced audiences -- more specifically radio listeners -- to the crystal-clear vocals and peerless musicianship of former Bill Monroe Bluegrass Boys Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. Amassed between 1951 and 1955, the 12 tracks that made the cut served as a ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
19 view cover	50 Years of Bluegrass Hits, Vol. 2 [1995] (1985) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.90! new only from $18.88!
20 view cover	Festival Favorites Revisited (1993) more music like this by Alan Munde Alan Munde is one of those phenomenally talented banjo players who very quietly go around making other, more flamboyant characters look like mere showoffs. He can do that because he's possessed of both incredible chops and transcendent taste (a rare combination in banjoists). As he shows here, he can take bluegrass chestnuts like "Cripple Creek" ... see all copies from $15.07! new only from $15.07!
21 view cover	Banjos That Destroyed the World (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Banjos That Destroyed the World is the album that happens when banjos and bluegrass get warp drive engines attached. The majority of the disc is taken by Wynn Osborne, with tracks from Pinnacle Boys, the Nashville Superpickers (who melt down Lennon/McCartney's "Paperback Writer" and "Take It Easy"), the Stonemans and Don Reno. The 16 cuts here ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
22 view cover	50 Years of Dueling Banjos (2005) more music like this by Various Artists It's been a half-century since Arthur Smith and Don Reno recorded Smith's little composition called "Feudin' Banjos" in the mid-'40s, and following its reinvention as "Dueling Banjos" on the soundtrack to 1973's Deliverance, it has become the most recorded and best-selling banjo instrumental in history. This interesting collection celebrates that ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
