1	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!
2	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!
3	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!
4	A Proper Introduction to the Carter Family: Keep on the Sunny Side (2004) more music like this by The Carter Family Certainly there are dozens if not a hundred compilations of the music of the Carter Family. While Rounder issued the complete Victor recordings, and there have been some Columbia sets issued as well, this fairly priced single-disc, 25-cut collection from Proper is all most people need. These tunes were all taken from the 1920s and '30s, and are ... see all copies from $6.28! new only from $6.28!
5	Ring of Fire (1989) more music like this by Anita Carter It's been well documented that June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore wrote the song "Ring of Fire," which is about her early relationship with Johnny Cash. What's less well known is that it was her youngest sister, Anita, not Johnny Cash, who cut it first, accompanied only by a pair of acoustic guitars. Ring of Fire is the German Bear Family label's ... see all copies from $18.73! new only from $20.18!
6	Greatest Hits 1927-34 (2003) more music like this by The Carter Family It is interesting that this selection of the Carter Family's early Victor recordings has been titled Greatest Hits, since the trio (A.P., Sara, and Maybelle Carter) didn't really hit their peak popularity until after they left Victor for Decca in 1935 (at which time they promptly re-recorded everything here) and began their radio contract with ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $5.47!
7	American Folk Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A bit like a single-disc, condensed version of Harry Smith's famous Anthology of American Folk Music (most of these tracks can be found there), this fine compilation features commercially released 78s from the 1920s and 1930s, and pretty much covers the gamut of early American vernacular music, with a fair sampling of Cajun, country-blues, gospel ... see all copies from $5.69! new only from $5.69!
8	Country Folk (2007) more music like this by The Carter Family Those looking for a comprehensive, cheaply priced compilation of the Carter Family's work will be more than satisfied with this four-disc set from Proper Records. Clocking in at 103 songs, it spans the entire length of the Carters' career, from their initial recording sessions in Bristol, VA (the same sessions that helped make Bristol the ... see all copies from $19.57! new only from $19.57!
9	Sunshine in the Shadows (2003) more music like this by The Carter Family see all copies from $10.03! new only from $10.03!
10	Famous Country Music Makers (2000) more music like this by The Carter Family see all copies from $2.37! new only from $2.37!
