A Musical History [CD/DVD Box Set]

A Musical History [CD/DVD Box Set] (2005) more music like this

by The Band

Given the countless Band compilations released over the years, plus the exhaustive bonus-track-laden reissues of the proper albums in 2000 and 2001, it's easy to be suspicious of the six-disc A Musical History, especially since it's the third Band box set released in the CD era. It would seem that all the worthwhile previously unreleased music ...

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

South Coast

South Coast (1995) more music like this

by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Ramblin' Jack Elliot, this 1995 album (his first after more than a two-decade hiatus from the studio) goes to show, only gets better with age. The 70-something-year-old voice resonates here with the long miles and experience it once just impersonated, the distinctive guitar playing likewise aged into a rich and mesmerizing style. Elliot also ...

Hard Travelin': The Asch Recordings, Vol. 3 (1998) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

This 27-song collection focuses on Guthrie's topical songs, though not all of the topics are political; there is, for instance, a "Hanukkah Dance" and an excerpt from his variation on the "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam," the children's song "Howdjadoo," and the gospel number "I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore." Progressives will find plenty to ...

Library of Congress Recordings, Vols. 1-3

Library of Congress Recordings, Vols. 1-3 (1964) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

Not so much an album as a historical aural document, this nearly three-hour, three-CD set chronicles three days of interviews and songs featuring a 27-year-old Woody Guthrie on March 21, 22 and 27, 1940. Alan Lomax and his wife, Elizbeth, take Guthrie through his autobiography and his reflections on the Dust Bowl, and he proves a witty, rustic ...

The Folkways Years 1944-1961 (1994) more music like this

by Cisco Houston

Except for a few tracks done for Decca between 1951 and 1952, and a lengthy session for Vanguard in 1960, Cisco Houston did all of his recording for Moses Asch's record labels, primarily for Folkways. This comprehensive compilation packs 29 performances (eight of them previously unreleased) into just over 70 minutes, revealing Houston to be an ...

You Gonna Lose Your Head

You Gonna Lose Your Head (1996) more music like this

by Johnny Hoy & The Bluefish

The Hoys (singer/songwriter/harmonica ace Johnny and his rock-solid bass-playing partner, Barbara Puciul Hoy) get way more adventurous on their second album with a brace of fresh tunes and finely picked covers. Johnny wrote nine of the 14 tracks on here and demonstrates a big jump forward in the songwriting department with "Beer Bellied Man," "Red ...

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 ...

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 Tony Furtado Band

Mixing elements of Ry Cooder's American R&B pickin', Bela Fleck's bluegrass-jazz fusion, and Kelly Joe Phelps' dusty folk-Delta blues (Phelps also contributes high-profile vocals to three tracks), accomplished banjo player and guitarist Tony Furtado pushes all sorts of stylistic envelopes on this indie release. From the moody Americana of a ...

Beyond Nashville: The Twisted Heart of Country Music (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

The rise of the so-called "No Depression" (named after the Carter Family song) alternative country movement in the 1990s coincided with commercial country's hard left turn into pop/rock territory. Less a reaction to the slick "hat acts" (Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, et al.) than an attempt to keep country's historical line pure and direct, the ...

Oh Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? American Songs from the Depression Era (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

Released on CMH Records (the company that puts out the Pickin' On series), Oh Brother, Can You Spare a Dime collects Depression-era songs done by recent and contemporary bluegrass artists, although the most effective tracks here aren't really bluegrass at all, like Peter Rowan's folky take on "No Depression in Heaven" or Tim O'Brien's version of ...

by Woody Guthrie

This ReCall set collects over two discs a boatload of the recordings Woody Guthrie made for Folkways Records in the 1940s and '50s. Virtually every song that any listener would want is collected here. Of course "This Land Is Your Land" (the commercial one without the third verse) is, but so are "Pretty Boy Floyd," "Ramblin' "Round," "Gypsy Davey," ...

Inner Exile (2008) more music like this

by Lee Everton

He's got the voice, he's got the groove, and he's got the laid-back attitude. He could be Jamaican; he could be an heir to Bob Marley's kingdom. Yet, he's actually from Zurich and Inner Exile is only his debut album. Lee Everton's brand of reggae is in direct continuity with Marley's. It seems he has all the details figured out, from the wah-wah ...

by Woody Guthrie

In March 1940, 27-year-old folksinger Woody Guthrie, newly arrived in New York City, played at a benefit for migrant workers, where he encountered Alan Lomax, the assistant in charge of the Archive of Folk-Song at the Library of Congress. Lomax invited Guthrie to Washington, D.C., to be interviewed and perform songs for the archive. These were not ...
