1	Sonny Terry & His Mouth Harp (1999) more music like this by Sonny Terry This rare December 1953 session (reissued on CD in 1999) was unusual for Terry in that his guitar accompanist was not Brownie McGhee, but Alec Seward, who had previously recorded as Guitar Slim in a duo with "Fat Boy" Hayes (aka Jelly Belly). It's unusual only in the personnel, however. It sounds like typical Sonny Terry, as he works his way ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $7.57!
2	Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry Sing (1958) more music like this by Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry One of the duo's best acoustic folk-blues collaborations, originally issued in 1958. They convincingly run through a very enjoyable series of collaborations marked by affectionate interplay, with drummer Gene Moore adding rhythmic power.

3	Country Blues Troubadours 1938-1948 (2004) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee Country Blues Troubadours contains 125 tracks, spread out over five CD's, tracing blind harpist Sonny Terry and guitarist Brownie McGhee's earliest recordings between 1938 and 1948. JSP not only does an admirable job remastering the tracks, but providing recording dates, personnel, and a bit of history that is easily accessible in individual jewel ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
4	The Greatest Stars of Folk Music (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Legacy's The Greatest Stars of Folk Music collects 19 samples from the late-'50s/early-'60s folk revival, almost none of which are the versions that listeners are familiar with. For example, instead of the Clancy Brothers doing "The Risin' of the Moon," you get actor/singer Theodore Bikel; Judy Collins, not A.L. Lloyd, gives listeners the ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $4.95!

6	Every Tone a Testimony: An African American Aural History (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Subtitled "An African American Aural History," the scope of this two-CD set is impressive, encompassing poetry, writings, speeches, and music by many major Black musicians, writers, and activists of the 20th century. The focus of the disc, however, wavers enough to make it an uneven, jumpy listening experience, although it's a valuable source for ... see all copies from $21.86! new only from $21.86!
7	Blues Live (2000) more music like this by Sleepy John Estes & John Henry Barbee In Europe, blues fans can be an extremely devoted bunch -- many of the European blues fans are as knowledgeable as they are obsessive. So when a country blues legend like Sleepy John Estes performed at the Folk Club of Denmark during the '60s, you can be sure that the Danish blues lovers in the audience were savoring his every word. (Many Danes ... see all copies from $14.65! new only from $14.65!
8	Deep River of Song: Virginia and the Piedmont (2000) more music like this by Alan Lomax Deep River of Song: Virgina and the Piedmont collects Alan Lomax field recordings of descendents of Virginia slaves and songs from the racially diverse Piedmont region, where free African-Americans and whites often played music together. Tracks such as Jimmie Strothers' "I Used to Work on a Tractor," James Wilson's "Walk Down, Devils," Robert ... see all copies from $12.00!
9	Great Bluesmen in Britain (2002) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy This is an odd and charming collection of private recordings by Big Bill Broonzy, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, probably done at small parties in hotel rooms, or in the case of Josh White, at a radio station. Entirely acoustic, the sets by Broonzy and Terry and McGhee have a kind of muted, casual feel that is impossible to resist. The radio ... see all copies from $15.69! new only from $15.69!
