1	Gold (2005) more music like this by Traffic After spending the majority of his late-teen years being mistaken -- in the realm of audio -- for Ray Charles, the Spencer Davis Group's "little" Stevie Winwood found himself at the helm of one of the most promising and volatile bands of the late '60/early '70s, Traffic. The initial core foursome of Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason, and Chris Wood ... see all copies from $18.44! new only from $18.44!
2	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Steve Winwood (1999) more music like this by Steve Winwood This volume of 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection may have been released under Steve Winwood's name, but that's slightly misleading. True, he does sing lead on all these songs, but there are no solo recordings here -- just Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith numbers. In that sense, it's actually a welcome compilation, since ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!
3	Below the Salt (1972) more music like this by Steeleye Span The most successful of all Steeleye Span lineups, with Bob Johnson and Rick Kemp in place of Martin Carthy and Ashley Hutchings, makes its debut on what could be their best album. There's not a weak note here, and all of its has a harder, more muscular sound courtesy of Kemp and Johnson, matched to impeccable vocals and uniformly excellent ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
4	Spanning the Years (1995) more music like this by Steeleye Span A 35-song, two-CD best-of, moving from their earliest 1970 recordings through the early 1990s. The emphasis is properly on their 1970s work, and accordingly the first disc is more essential, though the second part also has merit. With lengthy liner notes by Maddy Prior, it's an excellent survey of the group and may serve the essential needs of ... see all copies from $17.95! new only from $45.79!
5	Lionhearts (2003) more music like this by Maddy Prior see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
6	A Maid in Bedlam (1977) more music like this by John Renbourn A superb collection of traditional songs and Renaissance dances, it features the sublime voice of his Pentangle mate Jacqui McShee. Michael P. Dawson, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.61! new only from $15.61!
7	The Cropredy Box (1999) more music like this by Fairport Convention This three-disc set was recorded live in August of 1997 at Fairport Convention's annual Cropredy Festival. In 1997 Fairport celebrated their 30th year of existence, and this concert was an attempt to chronicle the various periods of the band's storied career by reassembling their most significant lineups. Original vocalist Judy Dyble, who only ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $14.47!
8	The Journey (2001) more music like this by Steeleye Span While Fairport Convention was busy transforming the art of reuniting former lineups into a way of life, Steeleye Span, fellow giants of the British folk-rock scene, tended to steer away from their old pals' act, preferring to continue plowing their unique furrow with as little nostalgic fanfare as possible. The one exception to this rule occurred ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $21.22!
9	Celtic Music from Ireland, Scotland & Brittany (1998) more music like this by Golden Bough A two-CD compilation of Golden Bough recordings that effectively covers their range, from originals to covers of songs by Ewan MacColl and Archie Fisher and then, of course, to the traditional material tackled mainly in a traditional manner, with some extra air and grace injected in a few of the pieces (though they don't fall into the breathing-in ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
10	Four Decades of Folk Rock (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Four Decades of Folk Rock is an expansive box set, allowing one disc and over an hour of music for each decade. For those who would argue that folk-rock was primarily a 1960s phenomenon in the United States and a '60s and '70s phenomenon in Britain, the box counters that the musical strains of folk-rock have informed everyone from R.E.M. to the ... see all copies from $45.58! new only from $45.58!

12 view cover	Golden Bough Live (2006) more music like this by Golden Bough Golden Bough was one of the formative American-based Celtic bands, founded in the Bay Area in 1980. This live CD comes from a concert celebrating 25 years of the group's existence, bringing together all the present and former members. Think of this as a kind of greatest-hits collection, and you're on the right track. The traditional material fares ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $10.69!
13 view cover	English Drinking Songs (1998) more music like this by Al Lloyd A collection of songs from widely differing periods and places, all sung (with vocal backup from an unnamed group) by the inimitable A.L. Lloyd, who also annotated the pieces. Some of the pieces are presented in variant versions here -- "The Foggy Dew," for example, has none of the usual sentimentality, while this version of "Maggie Mae" is as ... see all copies from $10.41! new only from $10.41!

15 view cover	Mighty River of Song (2004) more music like this by The Watersons Now this is a box set. The Watersons are the true first family of Great Britain when it comes to traditional Celtic folk music. This four-CD, one-DVD deluxe package is a grand overview of the various Waterson incarnations over a couple of generations. The box traces the careers of Lal, Mike, and Norma Waterson through their earliest groups, like ... see all copies from $59.85! new only from $59.85!
16 view cover	Weed 'Em and Reap (2001) more music like this by The Wild Oats The Wild Oats' debut album, Weed 'Em and Reap, covers a lot of ground, musically, and takes some diversions from the straight and narrow, with an intriguing mix of historical and present-day music. They do a fine and lively version of the traditional ballad "Donald MacGillavry," and it's one of their best, well worth hearing repeatedly. The lyrics ... see all copies from $8.22! new only from $8.22!
17 view cover	Mad World Blues (1992) more music like this by Pete Morton see all copies from $7.95!
18 view cover	Present: The Very Best of Steeleye Span (2003) more music like this by Steeleye Span After 33 years of re-inventing British folk music, Steeleye Span has taken on the arduous task of re-inventing themselves. Present: The Very Best Of gives the false impression of being just another career retrospective, when, in reality, it's much more. Nineteen classics and fan favorites have been re-recorded and, more importantly, re-interpreted ... see all copies from $34.27! new only from $34.27!
19 view cover	Collected (1999) more music like this by John Renbourn The bottom line is that Music Club does the very best budget compilations, with the finest track selection and best sound anywhere. Included in this set, like all of the Music Club selections, are complete -- if in miniscule typeset -- liner notes by Alan Robinson, wonderfully transferred sound, and a track selection from Renbourn's seldom ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
20 view cover	Collections (2005) more music like this by Maddy Prior see all copies from $24.07! new only from $24.07!
21 view cover	The Imagined Village (2007) more music like this by The Imagined Village The Imagined Village is being hyped as "the most ambitious re-invention of the English folk tradition since Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief." Those are bold words indeed, and it would take a lot to live up to them, especially since Fairport didn't deliberately set out to re-invent the tradition -- they simply adapted folk songs to their style. ... see all copies from $15.02! new only from $15.02!
22 view cover	Sweet Wivelsfield (1971) more music like this by Martin Carthy Carthy goes it alone, on his first album without Swarbrick. The result is quite good. Steve Winick, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.45!
23 view cover	Frost and Fire (1995) more music like this by The Watersons The original LP, a recording of seasonal songs, remains one of their greatest accomplishments. The CD re-release, featuring tracks from Sound, Sound Your Instruments of Joy, is indispensible. Steve Winick, All Music Guide see all copies from $18.45! new only from $18.45!
24 view cover	Transatlantic Folk Box Set (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Influential British folk label Transatlantic is given the box treatment with Sanctuary's limited-edition Transatlantic Folk Box. While the three discs, focused mainly on the mid- to late '60s, compile enough proper British folk to score a Charles Dickens film adaptation, there's a veritable quarry of rock-infused selections that help make this ... see all copies from $17.29! new only from $22.74!
25 view cover	Byker Hill (1967) more music like this by Martin Carthy/Dave Swarbrick Byker Hill was the first album on which Carthy and Swarbrick had more than two or three hours' studio time, and, as a result, which was actually rehearsed and programmed weeks in advance. The results are less spontaneous than their earlier work, but also show a level of professionalism that few folk albums of the era ever demonstrated. The ... see all copies from $14.45! new only from $14.45!
