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	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!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	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!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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!
10	Negrass (2007) more music like this by Laura Love see all copies from $14.45! new only from $14.45!
11 view cover	Best of Lead Belly (2000) more music like this by Leadbelly see all copies from $7.13! new only from $7.13!
12 view cover	Territory (1998) more music like this by Alvin Youngblood Hart Hart is so determined to display his stylistic dexterity that he winds up wandering all over the map: country swing, blues, reggae, gutbucket rock. Each selection is worthy, although a more consistent thematic thread would make the album more listenable. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.49! new only from $10.39!
13 view cover	Cowboy Girl (2001) more music like this by Katy Moffatt While mainstream country continues to ignore its roots, a number of "alternative" acts purposely seek them out. Katy Moffatt's Cowboy Girl is a superior example. She decided to record a number of western songs on Cowboy Girl, both traditional and contemporary, classics and little known gems. "Black Diamond" starts things quietly, with sparse ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!
14 view cover	Midnight Special [Prism] (1998) more music like this by Leadbelly see all copies from $12.99! new only from $17.01!
15 view cover	True Bluegrass Essentials (2006) more music like this by Various Artists True Bluegrass Essentials combines 20 traditional and progressive bluegrass musicians reinterpreting such chestnuts of the genre such as "John Hardy" (Tony Rice), "Sitting on Top of the World" (Lonesome River Band), "Rain and Snow" (Del McCoury), "Long Journey Home" (Lilly Brothers), "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" (Curly Seckler & the Nashville ... see all copies from $5.12! new only from $6.51!
16 view cover	The Executioner's Last Songs, Vol. 2 & 3 (2003) more music like this by Jon Langford and The Pine Valley Cosmonauts Jon Langford and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts' second collection of songs about murder, death, and dying -- recorded to benefit the Illinois Coalition Against the Death Penalty and the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty -- certainly ups the ante of ambition and diversity over The Executioner's Last Songs, and while Vol. 2 & 3 lacks some ... see all copies from $6.94! new only from $11.12!
17 view cover	Bluegrass Mountain Style (2001) more music like this by Various Artists One of the great strengths of this bluegrass compilation is that, contrary to its title, it offers a very rich cross section of approaches to the tradition -- not only bluegrass mountain-style, but also bluegrass California-style, bluegrass urban-style, and bluegrass progressive-style. For the hardcore mountain stuff there are classic acid grass ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $15.28!
18 view cover	Guitar (197?) more music like this by Tony Rice On Guitar, Rice focuses on instrumental renditions of songs like "Lonesome Reuben" and "Faded Love." Among the guests are J.D. Crowe and Bobby Slone. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.20! new only from $14.20!
19 view cover	Live at the Ragged Edge (2004) more music like this by Tom Adams/Michael Cleveland Tom Adams and Michael Cleveland, two fans of honest fiddle and banjo music, casually pulled together a list of their favorite traditional bluegrass tunes, borrowed a PA from the nearby Presbyterian church, and set up in the back corner of their local coffee shop. The plan was to record the show onto mini-disc, and use that recording to listen back ... see all copies from $15.54! new only from $15.54!
20 view cover	Tomato Delta Blues Package (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Tomato Delta Blues gathers 16 of the label's best-known performers, including Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Slim, John Lee Hooker, and Brownie McGhee. While a fair amount of the collection isn't technically Delta blues, the songs that are, such as Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's "That's All Right," Mississippi John Hurt's "Talking Casey," and Johnny Shines' ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $7.29!
21 view cover	Live at McCabe's (1976) more music like this by Norman Blake Long cherished by Norman Blake's fans as one of the greatest flatpicking albums of all time, Live at McCabe's isn't as essential as some of the guitarist's studio records of the time (see Whiskey Before Breakfast), but there's a warm, ramshackle beauty about this concert that is every bit as charming. Originally released on Takoma in 1976, it was ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $9.87!
22 view cover	Folk and Blues: The Roots of Americana (2006) more music like this by Various Artists There is more to the roots of Americana than just folk and blues (gospel, for one, ought to be considered, and even jazz as well), but that quibble aside, this strange little compilation is chock-full of oddities, and if it doesn't necessarily support the claims of its title, any set that attempts to place Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins and the ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $11.26!
23 view cover	Hei-Wa Hoedown (1995) more music like this by Walt Koken A former fiddler for the Fat City String Band and the Highwoods String Band in the early 1970s, Walt Koken left the music business for other ventures for some twenty years before emerging in the early 1990s with two fine banjo recordings on Rounder Records, Banjonique, and this one, Hei-Wa Hoedown. Mixing originals with traditional fare, Koken is ... see all copies from $14.30! new only from $14.30!
24 view cover	Son of Rounder Banjo (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Like the first Rounder Banjo, Son of Rounder Banjo is an hourlong sampler of the best banjoists to have recorded for Rounder Records. Encompassing both traditional and progressive bluegrass, the disc features cuts by Béla Fleck, Alison Brown, John Hickman, John Hartford, the Johnson Mountain Boys, Alan Munde, and Herb Pedersen, among many others, ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $15.36!
25 view cover	True Bluegrass Instrumentals (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.51! new only from $6.51!
