1	At Folsom Prison [1999 Expanded Edition] (1968) more music like this by Johnny Cash Folsom Prison looms large in Johnny Cash's legacy, providing the setting for perhaps his definitive song and the location for his definitive album, At Folsom Prison. The ideal blend of mythmaking and gritty reality, At Folsom Prison is the moment when Cash turned into the towering Man in Black, a haunted troubadour singing songs of crime, ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $7.34!
2	Sibling Rivalry: The Best of the Smothers Brothers (1998) more music like this by The Smothers Brothers Sibling Rivalry: The Best of the Smothers Brothers is a terrific, single-disc collection of 18 classic routines and songs the seminal comedy duo recorded between 1962 and 1965. There's no better compilation of the group's classic routines, and since most of the original albums are long out of print, this disc is the only way to acquire recordings ... see all copies from $8.29! new only from $8.29!
3	The Legend [Columbia] (2005) more music like this by Johnny Cash There have been in the neighborhood of ten CD box sets devoted to Johnny Cash, released on Columbia, Bear Family, and Collectables (this does not count overseas releases by Sony, or budget-line repackagings of three albums into one box set). Since 2000 there have been roughly 15 new major-label compilations, and that number balloons to nearly 90 ... see all copies from $20.88! new only from $34.13!
4	The Essential Pete Seeger [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Pete Seeger Pete Seeger is the sort of person who has become the stuff of legend for all the best reasons. As a musicologist, he's been a passionate archivist of folk songs of all sorts from around the world for most of his life, and thousands of people (perhaps millions) would not have heard songs such as "Goodnight Irene," "This Land Is Your Land" and ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
5	The Dirty South (2004) more music like this by Drive-By Truckers When you've named your band the Drive-By Truckers and your first three albums are called Pizza Deliverance, Gangstabilly, and Alabama Ass Whuppin', you might have a hard time at first convincing folks that you aren't joking. But the Drive-By Truckers proved that they were most definitely not kidding with 2001's brilliant double-disc Southern Rock ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
6	Sings for Children (1999) more music like this by Leadbelly A dozen of these 28 songs were first issued on the 1960 Folkways album Negro Folk Songs for Young People. But this is not so much a CD expansion of that album as a lengthy compilation of children-friendly performances from the 1940s that uses Negro Folk Songs for Young People as its core. The additional tracks were recorded by Moe Asch of Folkways ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $14.51!
7	Compadres: An Anthology of Duets (2007) more music like this by Marty Stuart Marty Stuart released a pair of very fine yet very different recordings in 2005. The first, Souls' Chapel, was an innovative yet rootsy country-gospel set. The second, Badlands: Ballads of the Lakota, was a heart-rending deeply soulful, and sometimes rocking album based on the proud heritage of the Indian-American (the politically correct term in ... see all copies from $7.43! new only from $10.44!
8	The Essential Taj Mahal (2005) more music like this by Taj Mahal The Essential Taj Mahal pulls together the bluesman's Columbia, Warner, Gramavision Private Music, and Hannibal labels' recordings, making it the first truly cross-licensed compilation of his work. Given the depth and breadth of this set (it covers four decades), the listener gets not only a cross-sectional view of the artist, but also his ... see all copies from $20.86! new only from $20.86!
9	Classic Mountain Songs (2002) more music like this by Various Artists From the time of its inception in the middle of the 20th century, the Folkways label recorded plenty of traditional folk music from the Southern Appalachians. This well-chosen collection, oriented mostly though not totally toward tracks with vocals, has a couple of dozen examples from the Folkways catalog. Though it's not always totally clear when ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
10	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!
11 view cover	We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (2006) more music like this by Bruce Springsteen We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions is an unusual Bruce Springsteen album in a number of ways. First, it's the first covers album Springsteen has recorded in his three-decade career, which is a noteworthy event in itself, but that's not the only thing different about We Shall Overcome. Springsteen, a notorious perfectionist who has been known ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $3.90!
12 view cover	American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1 [2002] (2002) more music like this by Pete Seeger The title of this reissue might seem straightforward enough, but before discussing the music, its exact contents need some explanation. In the late '50s and early '60s, Seeger did five volumes of a series entitled American Favorite Ballads. Although this CD is called American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1, it is not the same as the first of the ... see all copies from $14.50! new only from $14.50!
13 view cover	Tell Tales! Legends and Nonsense/Land of Giants (2003) more music like this by The New Christy Minstrels Way back in 1963 and 1964, folk music was big business, and the New Christy Minstrels stood at the forefront of its most popular flowering. If Peter, Paul & Mary made their mark by rearranging older material for their rich vocals, the New Christy Minstrels one-upped the trio by enlisting as many as 14 singers/players to bring forth Randy Sparks' ... see all copies from $11.21! new only from $11.21!
14 view cover	Sound Traditions: 31 Bluegrass Favorites (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Sound Traditions: 31 Bluegrass Favorites features some of the biggest names in the genre including Raymond Fairchild, Red Smiley, Bob Ensign and Mac Martin. Bonus points go to the compilers at Rural Rhythm (this is part of their Heritage Collection ) for keeping this freewheeling anthology completely instrumental. James Christopher Monger, All ... see all copies from $8.40! new only from $8.40!
15 view cover	American Primitive, Vol. 2 (2005) by Various Artists In the early days of the recording industry, many folk performers made just a few records, or only one record, before vanishing, their life stories and basic biographical data untraceable to this day. American Primitive, Vol. 2 assembles 50 tracks from such performers on this two-disc set, most from the late '20s and early '30s (the sole cut ... see all copies from $27.85! new only from $27.85!
16 view cover	At Folsom Prison/At San Quentin: The 2 Classic Prison Concerts (2006) more music like this by Johnny Cash see all copies from $9.98! new only from $9.98!
17 view cover	16 Biggest Hits (1999) more music like this by Johnny Cash Many of Johnny Cash's biggest hits, among them "Ring of Fire," "Understand Your Man," and "A Boy Named Sue," are included on Legacy's 16 Biggest Hits. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.99! new only from $5.99!
18 view cover	Greatest Folksingers of the '60s (1972) more music like this by Various Artists Not only was Maynard Solomon's Vanguard Records one of the major folk labels of the 60s (having the prescience to pick up Joan Baez early on, and then recording the cream of the singer/songwriters thereafter), but it also had the rights to record and release material from the Newport Folk Festival, giving it access to several artists who were not ... see all copies from $15.18! new only from $15.18!
19 view cover	Return of the Wayfaring Stranger (1960) more music like this by Burl Ives This follow-up to The Wayfaring Stranger is, if anything, livelier and more bracing than its predecessor, released five years earlier. In contrast to The Wayfaring Stranger, which was aimed at younger folk listeners (especially children) and purists, Return of the Wayfaring Stranger came out in the midst of the folk revival; in that regard, it ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.66!
20 view cover	The Limeliters (1960) more music like this by The Limeliters An impressive debut for the just-born folk trio, this album presents songs that became stalwart parts of their stage act for decades, particularly Lee Hays' "Lonesome Traveler," and the Russian gypsy tune "Gari Gari," and from Mexico, "Malaguena Salerosa." The album is marred by some stilted and obvious overdubbing, but even though some of the ... see all copies from $6.70! new only from $12.55!
21 view cover	Legendary Performer (1978) more music like this by Harry Belafonte An otherwise fine retrospective of many of Harry Belafonte's best-known performances from the 1950s is spoiled by RCA producer Ethel Gabriel's insistence upon using the disastrous "electronic reprocessing" system (tinny high end on one channel, muffled low end on the other) that destroyed so many reissues in the 1960s and '70s. Although most of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.00!
22 view cover	Storyteller, Poet, Philosopher (1995) more music like this by Tom T. Hall The double-disc box set Storyteller, Poet, Philosopher concentrates on Tom T. Hall's talents as a narrative songwriter, eschewing some of his better-known novelties for lesser-known, but better-written, serious songs. That doesn't mean the box is devoid of hits -- all of the important ones are here. What it does mean is that Storyteller, Poet, ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $23.07!
23 view cover	Alan Lomax's Southern Journey Remixed (2004) more music like this by Tangle Eye From the production duo of Scott Billington and Steve Reynolds comes Tangle Eye, a roots remixing team who takes a valiant stab at remixing the barest and simplest of roots recordings. On Alan Lomax's Southern Journey Remixed, they dig into the Alan Lomax archives (specifically from the Southern Journey era of his work, roughly 1940 to 1960), ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $14.70!
24 view cover	Ralph Stanley (2002) more music like this by Ralph Stanley The undisputed modern patriarch of bluegrass, Ralph Stanley is presented starkly and honestly on this self-titled 2002 album. Similar in sound and execution to Johnny Cash and Rick Rubin's American Recordings, Ralph Stanley presents the 75-year-old vocalist in a bare-bones environment with only minimal musical accompaniment, highlighting his ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $19.28!
25 view cover	Woody Guthrie Sings Folk Songs (1962) more music like this by Woody Guthrie In April 1944, 31-year-old Woody Guthrie discovered a recording outlet when he hooked up with record company owner Moses Asch, who agreed to let him cut a virtually unlimited number of masters informally. Guthrie simply would turn up at Asch's studios alone or with such friends as Cisco Houston, Sonny Terry, Leadbelly, and Bess Lomax Hawes, and ... see all copies from $10.49! new only from $14.72!
