1	The Singable Songs Collection (1997) more music like this by Raffi This three-disc set reissued by Rounder Records in 1997 takes children's singer Raffi's first three (and arguably best) albums, Singable Songs for the Very Young, More Singable Songs, and The Corner Grocery Store and More Singable Songs, and packages them all together. The Singable Songs Collections goes through all types of songs -- from ... see all copies from $23.19! new only from $23.19!
2	Around the Campfire (1998) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary Including four new tracks, the two-disc set Around the Campfire is an excellent overview of Peter, Paul & Mary's career as it nears the four-decade mark. As indicated by the title, the focus of the collection is to shine a spotlight on songs that express ideals of community, tunes commonly sung in schools and churches as well as at more intimate ... see all copies from $7.91! new only from $14.95!
3	The Essential Pete Seeger [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Pete Seeger Pete Seeger is the sort of person who has become the stuff of legend for all the best reasons. As a musicologist, he's been a passionate archivist of folk songs of all sorts from around the world for most of his life, and thousands of people (perhaps millions) would not have heard songs such as "Goodnight Irene," "This Land Is Your Land" and ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
4	Hank Wilson's Back (1973) more music like this by Leon Russell Leon Russell knows something about country music. Born in Oklahoma, virtually all of the country and blues made their way through Tulsa along with Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys. And while Russell is known primarily as a rock & roll performer, that doesn't mean jack. The 14 songs here offer a glimpse of where Russell's heart really lies. All ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
5	Chicken Skin Music (1976) more music like this by Ry Cooder Ry Cooder has always believed in the "mutuality in music," and this may be no more evident in his career than with his fifth album, Chicken Skin Music (a Hawaiian colloquialism, synonymous with goosebumps). Even more than usual, Cooder refuses to recognize borders -- geographical or musical -- presenting "Stand By Me" as a gospel song with a norte ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $11.11!
6	Another Country (1992) more music like this by The Chieftains A classic for lovers of good and heartfelt music played with joy. This has Paddy Moloney and the Chieftains combining forces with one of the best assemblages of country musicians put together. A diverse group it definitely is, stretching from Ricky Skaggs to Don Williams to Colin James running into Willie Nelson and Chet Atkins and so forth in a ... see all copies from $3.84! new only from $11.06!
7	Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly (1988) more music like this by Various Artists This is a solid collection of alternately exuberant and faithful covers of the songs of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. Great cuts are Little Richard's fuel-injected "Rock Island Line," and Springsteen's "Vigilante Man." Bob Dylan does "Pretty Boy Floyd." Richard Meyer, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.33!
8	Corner Grocery Store and Other Singable Songs (1979) more music like this by Raffi Raffi is something of an heir to the children's music of such folkies as Pete Seeger and the Babysitters. In Corner Grocery Store and Other Singable Songs, he is especially interested in adapting some familiar folksongs -- "Pick a Bale o' Cotton," "Goodnight Irene" -- as children's songs, along with such traditional material as "Frère Jacques." ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $13.71!
9	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three ... see all copies from $19.67! new only from $19.67!
10	American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1 [2002] (2002) more music like this by Pete Seeger The title of this reissue might seem straightforward enough, but before discussing the music, its exact contents need some explanation. In the late '50s and early '60s, Seeger did five volumes of a series entitled American Favorite Ballads. Although this CD is called American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1, it is not the same as the first of the ... see all copies from $15.13! new only from $15.13!
11 view cover	Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 3 (2002) more music like this by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Like a comet that periodically returns and lights up the sky, the Will the Circle Be Unbroken series manages to be predictable and illuminating at the same time. Once again, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band draws an assembly of deities and wannabes around the campfire. Some of these are familiar, though veterans from the first volume have grown scarce: ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.00!
12 view cover	Short Sharp Shocked [Expanded] (2003) more music like this by Michelle Shocked Michelle Shocked is asked in the song "Anchorage," "What's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker?" Perhaps it takes a flashback like Short Sharp Shocked to answer fully the more interesting question, "How did you get there?" The album finds Shocked taking a semi-fond trip back to an East Texas childhood, and all of the defined roles, limited ... see all copies from $10.20! new only from $12.69!
13 view cover	Smithsonian Folkways American Roots Collection (1996) more music like this by var art This assemblage of blues, bluegrass, mountain ballads, topical songs, and jazz shows the wide range of American vernacular music, and Smithsonian Folkways' commitment to it. Among the many highlights here are Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson's ragged and yet sleek version of "The Coo Coo Bird," Doug Wallin's creaky and breathless a cappella version ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
14 view cover	Billboard Pop Memories: 1950-1954 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Rock & roll seemed the farthest thing from anyone's mind during the early '50s. Elaborate, highly arranged songs such as Tony Bennett's "Rags to Riches," Rosemary Clooney's "Come On-A My House" and Kay Starr's "Wheel of Fortune" were the norm, plus the overwrought and frenzied vocals of Eddie Fisher and Johnny Ray & the Four Lads. There were also ... see all copies from $2.87! new only from $6.42!
15 view cover	Greatest Hits (1957) more music like this by The Weavers This is an excellent double-disc compilation of this group's more directly folk-related work from the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Note, however, that these are not the original Weavers recordings of their hits. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.93! new only from $14.22!
16 view cover	The Willies (2002) more music like this by Bill Frisell Echoing his 1995 release, Nashville, Bill Frisell's The Willies revisits the auburn sounds of American roots music. Although he has dipped into folk music in prior efforts, these songs follow the traditional mode even more faithfully than any of his previous releases, with only minor shifts into his familiar dissonant explorations. Assisted by ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.85!
17 view cover	Lifeline Extended (2002) more music like this by Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert In 1984, Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert released Lifeline, a collection of live recordings captured at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. The eight shows between April 28-31 would serve as a comeback for Gilbert (who had been part of the Weavers) and a chance for two politically committed women to join forces. In 2002, Near revisited ... see all copies from $17.56! new only from $17.56!
18 view cover	The Weavers at Carnegie Hall (1957) more music like this by The Weavers Despite having scored a series of major hits in the early '50s, starting with "Goodnight Irene," which topped the charts for 13 weeks, the Weavers were hounded out of existence in 1953 as part of the anti-Communist witch hunts. Although Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose scurrilous activities gave the McCarthy Era its name, had been condemned by the ... see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
19 view cover	Junco Partner (1976) more music like this by James Booker This solo disc by arguably the most brilliant of New Orleans' resplendent pianists shows off all the edge and genius he possessed. There may be moments on other discs of slightly more inspired playing (and this is arguable), but for a whole disc this one stands far from the crowd. You can hear some of the most awe-inspiring playing here that ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
20 view cover	Sentimental Journey, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Sentimental Journey: Pop Vocal Classics, Vol. 2 (1947-1950) includes Dinah Shore's "Buttons and Bows," Patti Page's "The Tennessee Waltz," "Again" by Mel Torme, Eileen Barton's "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake," and (on CD) "Goodnight Irene" by The Weavers and "Music! Music! Music!" by Teresa Brewer among its 18 tracks. All Music ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $11.11!
21 view cover	Folk Hits of the '60s (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The folk scene of the '60s is often portrayed as self-indulgent and lacking in the humor department. Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, and Tim Buckley certainly didn't come across as ideal candidates for a Laugh-In walk on! These guys were serious artists with serious things to say -- and things to protest against, too. But there actually was a much lighter ... see all copies from $16.59! new only from $16.59!
22 view cover	Best of the Vanguard Years (2001) more music like this by The Weavers The Weavers' stint at Vanguard, it should be noted, took place after they had their big pop hits in the early 1950s. That might be construed as either an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your perspective. These are not the biggest-selling original versions of the staples of their repertoire, but they also feature only the group and their ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
23 view cover	Moments to Remember: The Golden Hits of the 50's and 60's (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Shout Factory's three-disc set of vocal pop hits from the '50s (and early '60s) is a valuable collection, both because it includes a wealth of chart-toppers and because it unearths quite a few of the nuggets that rarely make it to anthologies of this sort. As a summation of '50s pop, it's an excellent overview, providing an extended look at the ... see all copies from $33.56! new only from $42.60!
24 view cover	Jerry Lee Lewis [1957] (1957) more music like this by Jerry Lee Lewis The Killer's original album for Sun Records is a curious mixture, as Sam Phillips pulled songs from all avenues of Jerry Lee's repertoire, everything from handkerchief weepers like "It All Depends," "Fools Like Me," and a staid "Goodnight Irene" to rockers like "Put Me Down," "Matchbox," "Ubangi Stomp," "Don't Be Cruel," and "High School ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $5.98!
25 view cover	Absolutely the Best (2000) more music like this by Leadbelly Leadbelly stands like a cornerstone in modern folk music. He showed that folk songs didn't have to be 300 years old and originate from the British Isles; instead they could be born out of American experience. Absolutely the Best offers a number of Leadbelly classics including "Roberta," "Midnight Special," and "In New Orleans (House of the Rising ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
