1	Songs from Home (2002) more music like this by Doc Watson After stints on Folkways and Vanguard Records in the '60s and early '70s, Doc Watson contracted with the independent Poppy label, which earned a distribution deal with United Artists (UA) in the wake of the success of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1972 UA album Will the Circle Be Unbroken, on which Watson appeared. Having released Elementary Doctor ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
2	Hillbilly Fever (2006) more music like this by Red Foley With his warm, assuring vocals, Red Foley brought class to a country genre that at times was too ragged and reckless for its own good in the 1930s and '40s, and if he didn't stretch boundaries, he didn't really need to, and ended up landing some 41 songs on the country charts between 1944 and 1959. This extensive four-disc, 100-song set has ... see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.41!
3	Freight Train Boogie (1993) more music like this by The Delmore Brothers It's kind of a toss-up as to whether this or the German When They Let the Hammer Fall is the best compilation of the Delmore Brothers work from the late '40s and early '50s. When They Let the Hammer Fall is more raucous and up-tempo; the 20-track Freight Train Boogie, though, has more variety. Freight Train Boogie is much easier to locate in the U ... see all copies from $22.01! new only from $22.01!
4	Mystery Train: Classic Railroad Songs, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The lure of the railroad is explored thoroughly in the second volume of Rounder's railroad compilations, with songs recorded from the 20s through to the 80s. The image of the railroad is burned into American history, representing just about anything you want it to represent - freedom, loss, greed, power, mystery, flight, mythology, integration, ... see all copies from $14.40! new only from $14.40!
5	The Roots of Rock 'n' Roll: 1946-1954 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Of the numerous various-artist compilation CDs that have attempted to anthologize the recordings of the late '40s and early '50s most crucial to planting the seeds for rock & roll, this three-CD, 60-song set is probably the most definitive. Most prior collections along these lines have failed to present a truly comprehensive picture of rock & roll ... see all copies from $32.85! new only from $32.85!
6	Tennessee Stud (2003) more music like this by Doc Watson This brief collection shows why, at any length and in any context, Doc Watson is a true American treasure. He brings a comfortable joy and ease to every tune he touches, and each of his albums makes one feel as if Doc himself was sitting on the back porch with a guitar and gently picking his way through the American songbook. Watson's version of ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!
7	On the Air: The 1940's (1996) more music like this by The Maddox Brothers & Rose These 1940s radio broadcasts have been issued on previous Arhoolie vinyl albums and cassettes, and without those original releases handy as reference, it's difficult to say whether this 32-track compilation gathers every bit of material from these sources that has seen the light of day. Should you still be building your Maddox Brothers collection, ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
8	Hillbilly Boogie [Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This has to be the most comprehensive, glorious, and flat-out ass-kicking country (hillbilly) boogie collection ever assembled. While it's true that the U.K.'s Proper label is controversial with some other reissue labels for their elaborate, budget-priced collections (in their boxes you get four well-mastered CDs and a full booklet complete with ... see all copies from $47.31! new only from $47.31!

10	20 Bluegrass Originals (1987) more music like this by Don Reno & Red Smiley see all copies from $14.99!
11 view cover	The America's Most Colorful Hillbilly Band: Their Original Recordings 1946-1951, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by The Maddox Brothers & Rose Like Maddox Brothers & Rose, 1946-1951, Vol. 1, this has a wealth of material -- 30 cuts in all -- from their early four-star era. The quality is on the same level as the first volume, and it's difficult to imagine that anyone who enjoyed the previous installment will be dissatisfied with this collection. The recording quality has the odd effect ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
12	Perilous Pursuit (2000) by Andrew Roblin see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.81!

14 view cover	Stay a Little Longer (2000) more music like this by Red Foley & His Crossroad Boys Stay a Little Longer is packed with 26 radio transcription performances from the '50s, including remakes of hits, traditional songs, and other favorites. Because so little of his music is available on CD, Stay a Little Longer offers a valuable glimpse at the music of Country Music Hall of Famer Red Foley. This disc concentrates on boogies and up ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $7.25!

16 view cover	A Tribute to the Delmore Brothers (1960) more music like this by The Louvin Brothers You could listen to music for 50 years and not hear harmonies as sweet or playing as nimble as what's on A Tribute to the Delmore Brothers. The album was one top-flight brother harmony duo paying tribute to the first great brother harmony duo in recording history. It sometimes seems like every country duo did tribute records to Alton and Rabon ... see all copies from $13.84! new only from $13.84!

18 view cover	Elementary Doctor Watson!/Then and Now (1997) more music like this by Doc Watson Two of Doc Watson's albums from the early '70s, Elementary Doctor Watson and Then & Now, were combined on this single-CD reissue by Collectables. Although the sound and the packaging could be a little better, this still is a fine way for collectors to pick up these two records on disc. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.65!
19 view cover	The Elementary Doctor Watson! (1972) more music like this by Doc Watson This was Watson's first album after leaving Vanguard, and it nicely showcased his new "country" sound, featuring mellow but terrifically played traditional and contemporary material. Particularly nice are the versions of "Going Down the Road Feeling Bad," Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind," and "More Pretty Girls Than One." With Norman Blake ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $120.49!
20 view cover	Rhythm & Blues Caravan: The Complete Savoy Recordings (1999) more music like this by Johnny Otis A deluxe three-disc set summing up Otis' pre-Hand Jive days as an R&B bandleader of some renown who employed various singers on a number of singles for the Savoy label. The recording debuts of the Robins, Little Esther Phillips, Mel Walker, guitarist Pete Lewis, and Linda Hopkins are all here, and you hear how Otis kept his ear to the ground, ... see all copies from $28.68! new only from $28.68!
21 view cover	Bluegrass Express (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Rounder's 2004 compilation of traditional music offers something old, something new, and something blue. Bluegrass, that is. Bluegrass Express is yet another fine collection of songs about trains, and this one gathers together artists from the genre's foundation (Bill Monroe) to its most recent acts (e.g., Rhonda Vincent). Even with the variety of ... see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
22 view cover	Early Morning Blues: The Complete Blue Rider Trio Sessions (2007) more music like this by The Blue Rider Trio Early Morning Blues combines the Blue Rider Trio's two albums, 1991's Preachin' the Blues and 2000's Harp, Steel and Guts, in one package, essentially creating a complete recorded works set for this fervent but hardly innovative Maryland acoustic blues ensemble. Featuring Ben Andrews on vocals, acoustic guitar and National Steel guitar, Mark ... see all copies from $16.14! new only from $16.14!
