1	Playing the Angel (2005) more music like this by Depeche Mode When Ultra was declared the best Depeche Mode album since Violator, those who said so must have forgotten about Songs of Faith and Devotion. When Exciter was declared the best Depeche Mode album since Violator, those who said so must have also forgotten about Songs of Faith and Devotion, in addition to having found a roundabout way of saying that ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.75!
2	This Is the Dirty Dozen Brass Band Collection (2005) more music like this by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band By kicking up the beat and adding in elements of bop, R&B and funk to the century-old tradition of funeral and parade standards practiced by New Orleans street bands, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band has almost single-handedly revitalized the genre over the past 30 years, and with an outstanding horn lineup that generally includes trumpets, saxes, ... see all copies from $14.45! new only from $14.45!
3	Best of the Gaither Vocal Band (2004) more music like this by Gaither Vocal Band see all copies from $12.00! new only from $17.15!
4	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!
5	Hits and Highways Ahead (1999) more music like this by Lee Roy Parnell Hits and Highways Ahead compiles the majority of Lee Roy Parnell's hits from his first five albums, adding two new songs ("She Won't Be Lonely Long," "Long Way to Fall") plus "John the Revelator," taken fro, the various-artists album Peace in the Valley: A Country Music Journey Through Gospel. It isn't quite definitive -- not only are there a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.50!
6	Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Like the movie itself, the soundtrack to the belated Blues Brothers sequel, Blues Brothers 2000, simply doesn't work as well as its predecessor, despite good intentions all around. Part of the problem, of course, is the absence of John Belushi, who provided a boisterous energy and undeniable charisma that made the Blues Brothers' slick updates of ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $7.29!
7	The Original Delta Blues (1998) more music like this by Son House Columbia/Legacy's The Original Delta Blues is a fine distillation of the label's double-disc set Father of the Delta Blues, containing 16 highlights from that comprehensive overview of his '60s rediscovery recordings. Curious listeners who are intimidated by the size of the previous set are advised to pick up this terrific sampler instead. ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
8	Ollabelle (2004) more music like this by Ollabelle New York sextet Ollabelle's music is a hybrid of indigenous American styles, mixing folk, blues, and gospel, and drawing upon traditional sources to create something that sounds wholly new. If one is tempted to say "you've never heard anything quite like this before," it isn't because the ingredients are unfamiliar, it's because the mixture and ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $10.66!
9	Gospel (1998) more music like this by Michael English see all copies from $4.86! new only from $4.86!
10	Treasures from the Folk Den (2001) more music like this by Roger McGuinn In late 1995, as part of his official website, Roger McGuinn launched a feature called The Folk Den, in which each month he recorded a traditional folk song in his home studio and posted the results on his web page along with brief essays on the histories of the songs and how he came to learn them. McGuinn used this ongoing experiment as the ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $15.50!
11 view cover	Dark Was the Night (1998) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson Even in the blues, a style capable of wrenching unexplainable emotions from its audience, Blind Willie Johnson has few equals. With a voice capable of alternating effortlessly between sublime, trembling tenor and the sound of pure gravel, and unparalleled skill with the bottleneck (and knife), Johnson recorded 30 sides for Columbia (1927-1930) ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
12 view cover	The Deepest End: Live in Concert (2003) more music like this by Gov't Mule Given all the live documents Gov't Mule issued since the premature death of bassist Allen Woody, The Deepest End is easily the most satisfying. Recorded and filmed during the 2003 Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, the show features the most astonishing array of guest bassists yet, and so many other guests the date was like a festival unto ... see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
13 view cover	Dose (1998) more music like this by Gov't Mule Gov't Mule's sound is a throwback to the '70s heyday of Southern rock, and their style is peppered with references to the best of the Allmans, with a liberal dose of early ZZ Top thrown in for good measure. Their second album shows no signs of a sophomore slump, featuring playing and songwriting every bit as strong as their debut outing. Warren ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $8.99!
14 view cover	Crimson & Blue (1994) more music like this by Phil Keaggy A tour de force of '60s and '70s power trios and extended jams, Phil Keaggy's Crimson & Blue has songwriting a few cuts above most of the material that inspired it. The mainstream version titled Blue features a cover of Badfinger's "Baby Blue," while both feature the Van Morrison tune, "When Will I Learn (To Live in God)." Thom Granger, All ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
15 view cover	Touring the Angel: Live in Milan [2 DVD] (2006) more music like this by Depeche Mode see all copies from $21.44! new only from $21.44!
16 view cover	Southern Journey, Vol. 8: Velvet Voices (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded mostly in Virginia in 1960 (two recordings were made in St. Simon's Island, Georgia), this documents African-American folk musics of the region, focusing mostly on gospel quartets, although there are also some fife-and-banjo tunes. This has to count as one of the more accessible installments in the Southern Journey series; the singing is ... see all copies from $7.57! new only from $15.38!
17 view cover	Good News: 100 Gospel Greats (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The Proper label quickly joined JSP as one of the most valuable import labels in existence, reissuing stacks of important sides in the form of low-cost, high-value box sets. Its focus didn't dwell on artists either, giving space to important overviews of instruments (guitar for Hittin' on All Six, drums for The Engine Room) and styles (Bebop ... see all copies from $16.42! new only from $27.42!
18 view cover	The Harry Smith Project: Anthology of American Folk Music Revisited (2006) more music like this by Various Artists In 1952 a record collector and musicologist named Harry Smith put together some of his obscure findings, music recorded in various pockets of America between 1927 and 1934, and released them on Folkways Records as a six-disc set called The Anthology of American Folk Music. Many of the artists represented on these recordings had been long forgotten ... see all copies from $51.23! new only from $51.23!
19 view cover	Funeral for a Friend (2004) more music like this by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band On their tenth album, the Crescent City's Dirty Dozen Brass Band bring it all back to the cobblestone streets where it began. The Dozens have done it all, from straight New Orleans jazz to restless funky experimentation, and here they put it all down to the roots of its origin. Funeral for a Friend is just that, a complete reenactment of a New ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
20 view cover	Revisited (2002) more music like this by Son House Revisited is a double-disc of live Son House recordings from the Mississippi delta blues legend's twilight years on the folk revival circuit. Disc one is a mid-'60s performance at Oberlin College; after a scholarly introduction by his then-manager Dick Waterman, House starts out in fine form, prefacing each song with long, discursive monologues ... see all copies from $10.50!
21 view cover	The Folk Den Project (2005) by Roger McGuinn Roger McGuinn began his career as a folksinger/guitarist and he has never lost his love of the music. In 1995, he launched the Folk Den project on his website, making free downloads available of folk songs he recorded, along with lyrics and a little background on each number and what was special about it to him. He decided to re-record them in ... see all copies from $47.17! new only from $54.45!
22 view cover	Heroes of the Blues: The Very Best of Son House (2003) more music like this by Son House This collection spotlights the great Delta bluesman Son House at three distinct points in his life. Included here are three of his 78s issued in the 1930s by Paramount Records, several of the Library of Congress field recordings done by Alan Lomax in 1941-1942, and a trio of 1960s rediscovery concert pieces, including a riveting version of Blind ... see all copies from $8.72! new only from $8.72!
23 view cover	Trouble No More (2003) more music like this by John Mellencamp Trouble No More, John Mellencamp's first covers album, came together rather quickly, following his performance of Robert Johnson's "Stones in My Passway" at a tribute concert for the late Billboard editor Timothy White. From all accounts, it was one of the highlights of the show, and it lead to this quickly recorded collection of covers. In a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.64!

25 view cover	I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Though it was obviously released simply to capitalize on the resurgence of interest in old-timey music occasioned by the success of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the 20-track collection I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow is an amazing, practically faultless compilation. Virtually every song here is a classic, whether for fans of old-timey, country, early ... see all copies from $4.47! new only from $20.70!
