1	Goodbye, Babylon (2004) more music like this by Various Artists By any standard, this six-CD box set of old-time gospel music is a stupendous release, both in terms of musical significance, and elaborate packaging. The discs include no less than 135 songs, virtually all of them from the mid-1920s to the mid-1950s, save a couple that fall outside of that time frame in either direction. That's not even counting ... see all copies from $97.35! new only from $97.35!
2	Cypress Grove Blues (2004) more music like this by Skip James With his high, eerie falsetto and haunting guitar tunings, Skip James sounds like no other country blues player. Although his lyrics were generally drawn from the floating bag of clichés that showed up in countless blues songs, his atmospheric recordings, done in 1931 for Paramount, gave James' songs the appearance of poignancy, and his sad, ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
3	Hard Time Killin' Floor (2005) more music like this by Skip James Hard Time Killin' Floor isn't the first Skip James collection, and one could bet it will not be the last. But Hard Time Killin' Floor makes a pretty good argument for itself: the hour-and-six-minute album holds all of James' early work, and it's been remastered. James' soulful vocal style, like Robert Johnson's, has often been noted, but his quick ... see all copies from $15.85! new only from $15.85!
4	Legends of Country Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists JSP's Legends of Country Blues compiles five CDs of performances by Son House, Skip James, Bukka White, Tommy Johnson, and Ishman Bracey. These historic prewar recordings have been remastered, and according to the packaging, feature "unprecedented listening quality." While that claim is a bit of a stretch, the majority of this material does sound ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!

6	I'd Rather Be The Devil: The Legendary 1931 Session (2007) more music like this by Skip James They've been reissued as a piece before, and no doubt they'll be reissued together in the future. But here they are again on this 2007 compilation: all 18 surviving tracks that Skip James recorded in February 1931 for Paramount Records, which in fact represented the totality of his output on disc before he was rediscovered in the '60s. It's gotten ... see all copies from $11.35! new only from $11.35!
7	Gospel, Vol. 3: Guitar Evangelists and Bluesmen 1927-1944 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Where the first collection in Fremeaux & Associes' gospel series, Gospel, Vol. 1: 1926-1942, was a nice overview of many different styles of gospel and the second edition, Gospel, Vol. 2: Gospel Quartets 1921-1942, focused solely on vocal quartets, the third collection enjoys many of the benefits of diversity featured on volume one, while ... see all copies from $24.53! new only from $24.53!
8	King of the Blues, Vol. 8 (2003) more music like this by Skip James With his high, eerie falsetto and haunting guitar tunings, Skip James sounds like no other country blues player. Although his lyrics were generally drawn from the same bag of floating clichés that showed up in countless other blues songs, his atmospheric recordings, done in 1931 for Paramount, gave James' songs the appearance of tremendous ... see all copies from $29.69! new only from $29.69!
