1	Live in Dublin (2007) more music like this by Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band Live in Dublin by Bruce Springsteen with the Seeger Sessions band documents the final show of the group's long tour in support of the album that took them across the U.S. and Europe. Along with performances from the album itself, the show is peppered with Springsteen's own tunes. The deluxe double-CD contains 23 songs performed by a 17-piece band ... see all copies from $17.76! new only from $17.76!
2	We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Bruce Springsteen We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions is an unusual Bruce Springsteen album in a number of ways. For starters, it's the first covers album Springsteen has recorded in his three-decade career, which is a noteworthy event in itself, but that's not the only thing different about We Shall Overcome. A notorious perfectionist who has been known to ... see all copies from $8.97! new only from $19.56!
3	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, ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $10.76!
4	Show Time (1976) more music like this by Ry Cooder Following the odd, but entertaining Hawaiian, southwestern mix of Chicken Skin Music, Ry Cooder hit the road with a group of Tex-Mex musicians led by the great accordionist Flaco Jiminez. To make things even more interesting, he also included three soul- and gospel-based backup singers in the lineup (two of whom had appeared on Chicken Skin Music) ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $15.07!
5	Live in Dublin [CD/DVD] (2007) more music like this by Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band Live in Dublin by Bruce Springsteen with the Seeger Sessions band documents the final show of the group's long tour in support of the album that took them across the U.S. and Europe. Along with performances from the album itself, the show is peppered with Springsteen's own tunes. The deluxe double-CD contains 23 songs performed by a 17-piece band ... see all copies from $13.19! new only from $26.50!
6	Panic Is On (1997) more music like this 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 ... see all copies from $12.38!
7	Hard Times Come Again No More, Vol. 1 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Another fine Yazoo collection of vintage American recordings of the '20s and '30s. The theme here of first-hand hardship experience makes for some amazing music, whether by white or black artists. The buoyant "Down on Penny's Farm" is beautifully offset by Blind Alfred Reed's baleful complaint "How Can a Poor Man Stand," complete with fragile ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $16.21!
8	Originals (2006) more music like this by Michael Chapman see all copies from $11.52! new only from $11.52!
9	Dogs Got More Sense: The Decca Years 1974-1977 (2004) more music like this by Michael Chapman With two CDs covering three albums plus a 55-minute interview DVD (which will only work in the U.S. if you have a multi-region player, so be warned), this is really a bargain. You get all of Deal Gone Down, Savage Amusement!, and The Man Who Hated Mornings, plus another CD of demos and outtakes. To be fair, the first two albums are better, and the ... see all copies from $22.53! new only from $22.53!
10	Why Don't You Try Me Tonight? The Best of Ry Cooder (1985) more music like this by Ry Cooder This compilation offers a bakers' dozen from Ry Cooder (guitar/bass/mandolin/vocals), cuts taken from seven of the eight solo studio LPs that he issued between 1970 and 1980. These include his debut Ry Cooder (1970), Into the Purple Valley (1971), Boomer's Story (1972), Paradise and Lunch (1974), Chicken Skin Music (1976), Bop Till You Drop (1979) ... see all copies from $23.46! new only from $23.46!

12	Nine Songs (1972) by Bobby Doyle see all copies from $20.00!
13 view cover	Homage (1996) more music like this by The Blues Band see all copies from $24.37! new only from $24.37!
14 view cover	The Early Years (1958-1962) (1991) more music like this by The New Lost City Ramblers Moses Asch had a unique method of recording artists back in the '40s and '50s. Someone like Woody Guthrie, for instance, would just drop by Folkways when he had an idea and record. Asch might pay him five dollars for the session, and in this way he accumulated a vault full of material. Perhaps this explains the incredible fact that the New Lost ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
15 view cover	Frontier Days (1984) more music like this by The Del Lords It's hard to say what anyone should have expected from a band fronted by the former rhythm guitarist for the Dictators and featuring Joan Jett's ex-lead guitar player, but it probably wasn't the tough, populist roots rock of the Del Lords. The group's debut album, Frontier Days, proved that Scott Kempner knew enough to hold on to several of the ... see all copies from $8.00!
16 view cover	Hard Times in the Country (2002) more music like this by Various Artists It only takes a cursory look at the titles of the songs on Hard Times in the Country to get a clear picture of life in the rural South between 1927-1938. The Lee Brothers Trio bemoan a workingman's fate in "Cotton Mill Blues," while Blind Alfred Reed sounds nearly hopeless in "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Hard Times and Live." As Bill Malone ... see all copies from $17.23! new only from $17.23!
17 view cover	Poor Man's Heaven: Blues & Tales of the Great Depression (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The fifth volume in Bluebird's Secret History of Rock & Roll is a stretch, albeit a good one. The 24 tracks included here all focus on the Great Depression; in fact, they mirror the current wild ride that is Wall Street in an eerily ironic way. While the other four volumes in the series focused on blues and hard country music, this set is all over ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
18 view cover	Roots of Ry Cooder [Reissue] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists In his many-faceted career as a producer, session musician, solo artist, and soundtrack composer, Ry Cooder has drawn continually on the deep roots of American music, reinventing and refocusing the old into the new in a nearly seamless balancing act. This fine collection of vintage roots material from Britain's Catfish Records visits some of ... see all copies from $10.05! new only from $10.05!
19 view cover	Always Lift Him Up: A Tribute to Blind Alfred Reed (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Discovered by Ralph Peer on the fabled 1927 Bristol field recording trip that also yielded the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers, West Virginian singer, songwriter, and fiddler Blind Alfred Reed was as singular as they come. Already in his 40s when Peer discovered him, Reed was a man out of time in many ways. For one, he wrote his own material, ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
