1	Leave the Light On (2006) more music like this by Chris Smither Chris Smither doesn't do much here that he hasn't done throughout his long career, but there's no crime in consistent excellence. That career, launched during the Boston folk revival of the late '60s, has now encompassed a dozen albums, with a lengthy hiatus throughout most of the '70s and '80s as Smither battled the demons of alcoholism and ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
2	Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Originally released in 1952 as a quasi-legal set of three double LPs and reissued several times since (with varying cover art), Anthology of American Folk Music could well be the most influential document of the '50s folk revival. Many of the recordings that appeared on it had languished in obscurity for 20 years, and it proved a revelation to a ... see all copies from $57.35! new only from $65.00!
3	The Carter Family: 1927-1934 (2002) more music like this by The Carter Family Fans looking for more than ASV/Living Era's Wildwood Flower collection but scared off by Bear Family's massive 12-disc box could comfortably pick up this five-disc budget compilation. At 126 songs, it covers all of their RCA Victor recordings in chronological order, omitting only alternate takes. The remastering isn't necessarily better than other ... see all copies from $24.20! new only from $24.20!
4	The Essential Earl Scruggs (2004) more music like this by Earl Scruggs "The Paganini of the banjo"'s finest moments are collected on Columbia/Legacy's aptly named Essential Earl Scruggs. Unlike many other "best-of" collections, this two-disc set gathers tracks from nearly all of the stages of Scruggs' career, from his early days as one of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, through his genre-defining work with Lester ... see all copies from $21.91! new only from $21.91!
5	No Depression [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Uncle Tupelo Within what would come to be known as the "alt-country" scene, Uncle Tupelo's first album, 1990's No Depression, was the shot heard around the world; they most certainly weren't the first band to fuse the heartache of country with the brains and brawn of punk rock, but they managed to bring the two styles together without camp or gimmicks, in a ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
6	The Wayfaring Stranger (1959) more music like this by Burl Ives The Wayfaring Stranger was the name of the CBS radio program on which Burl Ives first achieved lasting fame in broadcast circles and the name of Ives' autobiography as well, so it was also a natural for his Columbia Records debut. Ives' definitive Columbia album, The Wayfaring Stranger was also one of the bright spots in the very early folk ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
7	The Willies (2002) more music like this by Bill Frisell Echoing his 1995 release, Nashville, Bill Frisell's The Willies revisits the auburn sounds of American roots music. Although he has dipped into folk music in prior efforts, these songs follow the traditional mode even more faithfully than any of his previous releases, with only minor shifts into his familiar dissonant explorations. Assisted by ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.43!
8	Front Porch Pickin': 24 Great Bluegrass Instrument (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Front Porch Pickin' features a wealth of bluegrass performances by a variety of performers. There's a total of 24 instrumental songs on this album -- none particularly long, all very much grounded in the bluegrass idiom. Some of the selections include Raymond Fairchild's "Cripple Creek"; Earl Taylor, Jim McCall, and the Stoney Mountain Boys ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $6.75!
9	His Folkways Years (1963-1968) (1998) more music like this by Dock Boggs After Boggs, the Appalachian singer/banjoist who had released a dozen sides in the late '20s, was rediscovered by Mike Seeger in 1963, he did some recording for Folkways Records. This double-CD, 50-song set contains the material from three Boggs LPs for Folkways: Legendary Singer & Banjo Player (1963), Vol. 2 (1965), and Vol. 3 (1970). The ... see all copies from $16.17! new only from $22.74!
10	Miami (1982) more music like this by Gun Club The sophomore record by the Gun Club bore the curse of having to follow a monolith of their own making. Fire of Love sold extremely well for an independent; it was a favorite of virtually every critic who heard it in 1981. Miami showcased a different lineup as well. Ward Dotson replaced Congo Powers (temporarily, at least) on guitar, and there ... see all copies from $10.59! new only from $10.59!
11 view cover	Down the Road Apiece: Their EMI Recordings 1963-1966 (2007) more music like this by Manfred Mann It's hard to call a band with one of the biggest songs in oldies radio underappreciated, but it's hard to dispute that Manfred Mann are a band ignored. Alone among all major (and not so major) British Invasion bands, they have never experienced a revival, perhaps because their influence was not lasting. Few bands covered them and although the ... see all copies from $42.16! new only from $42.16!
12 view cover	Petra Haden & Bill Frisell (2003) more music like this by Petra Haden/Bill Frisell see all copies from $8.98! new only from $10.22!
13 view cover	Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band (2003) more music like this by Duke Ellington Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band, covering the years 1939-1942 in the great composer and bandleader's career, is essentially the third time that RCA has issued this material on CD. The first was a botched job, appalling even, with its flattened-out, compressed sound, along with a chopped version of "Take the A-Train" and other sonic and ... see all copies from $34.29! new only from $34.29!
14 view cover	Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this by Cisco Houston Of the singers who brought folk into the modern era around World War II, Cisco Houston seems to have less name recognition than either Woody Guthrie or Leadbelly. Not a songwriter himself, Houston did a great deal to promote the songs and legacy of Guthrie during the mid- to late-'50s, and a number of songs on this recording come from Cisco ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.61!
15 view cover	Cold on the Shoulder (1984) more music like this by Tony Rice Bela Fleck, Vassar Clements and Jerry Douglas are just a few of the guests on Cold on the Shoulder, on which Rice performs songs by Bob Dylan, Randy Newman and Rodney Crowell. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.45! new only from $15.85!
16 view cover	On the Road (And More) (2001) more music like this by The Country Gentlemen Continuing in their now feverish quest to reissue every single thing Moses Asch ever released on CD, the folks at Smithsonian have pulled from the catalog a true gem, added six more tracks, and given it to listeners to marvel over. The Country Gentlemen were the inspiration for pickers from Norman Blake to Clarence White to Tony Rice and every ... see all copies from $7.38! new only from $14.72!
17 view cover	Strictly Instrumental (1967) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs With Doc Watson Strictly Instrumental is a delightful duet album between Flatt & Scruggs and Doc Watson, giving the three musicians an opportunity to flaunt their exceptional instrumental talents. Sticking to a selection of songs that is traditional in approach, but are not played frequently ("John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man," "Pick Along," "Spanish Two ... see all copies from $13.53! new only from $13.53!
18 view cover	Remembering Leadbelly (2001) more music like this by Long John Baldry Long John Baldry came of age as a singer during the British blues boom, and it's obvious that his love of the music hasn't left him. As he explains in the interview track at the end, Leadbelly was his first musical inspiration, and here he has his chance to pay homage to the man. In his sixties at the time of this recording, Baldry's voice has ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $14.56!
19 view cover	Absolutely the Best (2000) more music like this by Leadbelly Leadbelly stands like a cornerstone in modern folk music. He showed that folk songs didn't have to be 300 years old and originate from the British Isles; instead they could be born out of American experience. Absolutely the Best offers a number of Leadbelly classics including "Roberta," "Midnight Special," and "In New Orleans (House of the Rising ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $9.54!
20 view cover	Dueling Banjos/Live at Kansas State (2000) more music like this by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs Putting together one of Scruggs' best albums (Live at Kansas State) with one of his less interesting (Dueling Banjos) made good marketing sense, but it makes for an uneven CD. Tracks 11-22 are the real treats here, off the live album, and the price is low enough that one can regard the other ten songs as a bonus, with some occasionally brilliant ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
21 view cover	Fiddle Tunes for Banjo (1981) more music like this by Tony Trischka w/ Keith & Fleck What unites these three banjo players -- Tony Trischka, Bill Keith, and Béla Fleck -- is their shared status as stylistic innovators on an instrument that, to most people, embodies strict traditionalism. There's still debate as to whether Trischka or Keith originated the "melodic" style of bluegrass banjo playing, one which tends to follow the ... see all copies from $11.87! new only from $15.37!
22 view cover	Return of Koerner, Ray & Glover (1966) more music like this by Koerner, Ray & Glover The last in a series of three reissues of classic folk-blues albums from Koerner, Ray & Glover, this beautifully remastered 1965 collection is filled with the humor, rhythm, soulful vocals and top-notch material that made the outfit such a standout. Among the best of the 15 tracks: a reading of Leadbelly's "Titanic," about how boxer Jack Johnson ... see all copies from $11.37! new only from $11.37!
23 view cover	The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of (2006) more music like this by Various Artists For anyone who's collected 78-rpm records, enjoyed Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, or expressed interest in the great missing old-time and blues records of yesteryear, The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of will be the Holy Grail. Whereas it isn't unusual for Yazoo to place a rarity on a new collection by Blind Blake or Blind Lemon ... see all copies from $24.05! new only from $24.05!
24 view cover	Righteousness and Humidity (2003) more music like this by Martin Simpson Martin Simpson might have made his reputation as a folk guitarist, but blues has been a part of him since he was young, and he plays it -- as he plays everything -- with both incredible technique and driving passion. And while his roots might be far from the Mississippi Delta, his heart is right there. To be fair, he can't hold a candle to the ... see all copies from $15.61! new only from $15.61!
25 view cover	No Depression (1990) more music like this by Uncle Tupelo Uncle Tupelo's landmark opening salvo is the group's most rock-oriented album, steeped more in breakneck speed, punk crunch, and guitar dissonance than any of their subsequent efforts. Indeed, despite the presence of mandolins, fiddles, and banjos -- as well as inclusion of the title track, a faithful cover of the A.P. Carter classic -- the trio's ... see all copies from $6.00!
