Mountain Blues: Blues, Ballads & String Bands 1927-1938 (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Country has been called the white man's blues, but the phrase has probably only been truly accurate when applied to the so-called hillbilly records from the 1920s and 1930s, the period and genre covered by this four-disc, 100-track anthology from JSP.

Bound to Ride (1998) more music like this

by Jim Mills

A banjo player with a voice and style that brings thoughts of Flatt & Scruggs to mind, Jim Mills is a comforting presence in a world gone mad with high-tech and pre-fab sounds.

This set presents the first half of Earl Johnson's complete recordings with his Dixie Entertainers and, on the later tracks, his Clodhoppers.
