But Frazier's book is not about the war itself so much as the life lived n the rural American South during its long dark night.

2	Classic Old-Time Music (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The songs featured on Smithsonian/Folkways' Classic Old-Time Music were mostly recorded in the late '50s and early '60s (with a few scattered throughout the '70s) and celebrate many of the performers who not only toured the festival circuits at that time, but many who sowed the seeds of the entire folk revival.

6	Clawhammer Banjo, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists County Records originally released a truncated version of this collection of Appalachian clawhammer banjo players on LP in the 1960s.

9	Soon Be Time (2006) more music like this by Bruce Molsky Bruce Molsky's sixth album Soon Be Time is another sweet and plainspoken exploration of various American music traditions, with the occasional foray into the British Isles and over to Eastern Europe just to keep things interesting.

14 view cover	Bluegrass Music from the Appalachian Mountains (1993) more music like this by Various Artists LaserLight's Bluegrass Music from the Appalachian Mountains is a little frustrating.

17 view cover	Soon One Morning (2003) more music like this by Black Twig Pickers Progressive bluegrass in the style of some of Leo Kottke or John Fahey's more roots-oriented salvos, the second album by Virginia's Black Twig Pickers marries unusual instrumentation like cello and baritone banjo, along with some Fahey-like drones and other Eastern influences, to a set heavy on the traditional folk. As a result, familiar -- some ... see all copies from $9.93! new only from $9.93!
18 view cover	Music and Songs of the Southern Appalachians (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This is an extremely deceitful album. It purports to be a collection of traditional Appalachian instrumentals featuring ex-Rooftop Singer Erik Darling (he is listed on the cover as Eric rather than Erik), supposedly featuring him on guitar, banjo, dulcimer, fiddle, and harmonica. The first 20 tracks here, though, are actually field recordings of ... see all copies from $3.09! new only from $3.09!
