1	Father of the Delta Blues: The Complete 1965 Sessions (1992) more music like this by Son House After being rediscovered by the folk-blues community in the early '60s, Son House rose to the occasion and recorded this magnificent set of performances. Allowed to stretch out past the shorter running time of the original 78s, House turns in wonderful, steaming performances of some of his best-known material. On some tracks, House is supplemented ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $17.76!
2	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 $4.99! new only from $4.99!
3	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 $4.37!
4	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 $5.33! new only from $5.33!
5	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 $16.59! new only from $16.59!
6	The Complete Blind Willie Johnson (1993) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson If you've never heard Blind Willie Johnson, you are in for one of the great, bone-chilling treats in music. Johnson played slide guitar and sang in a rasping, false bass that could freeze the blood. But no bluesman was he; this was gospel music of the highest order, full of emotion and heartfelt commitment. Of all the guitar-playing evangelists, ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $17.76!
7	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 $15.75! new only from $15.75!
8	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 $23.38! new only from $23.38!
9	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 $3.00! new only from $4.62!
10	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 $44.02! new only from $51.07!
11	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 $5.88! new only from $5.88!
12 view cover	Sweet Corn (2002) more music like this by Clarence Bucaro It's slightly ironic that one of the most compelling tracks on a colorful, down-home Americana roots collection is a song that talks about the search for such roots. Not only that, but "I Am Just a Refugee"'s plaintive lyrics are backed by a rolling, South African-flavored guitar line reminiscent of Paul Simon's "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
13 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!
14 view cover	Soul of a Man [Snapper] (2004) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson Blind Willie Johnson wasn't a blues singer in the generally accepted sense. He was really a singing preacher with a killer slide guitar style and a guttural voice that indicated clearly that he wasn't about to mess around with the small stuff. While many blues singers woke up in the morning wondering where their women went, Johnson woke up ... see all copies from $9.70! new only from $9.70!
15 view cover	The Mighty Jeremiahs (2006) more music like this by The Mighty Jeremiahs see all copies from $9.51! new only from $9.51!
16 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 $23.63! new only from $23.63!
17 view cover	Backwater Blues (1997) more music like this by Sheila Wilcoxson Back Porch Blues' ex-lead singer solos with double the pieces she had with Back Porch Blues -- six musicians, including a washtub bass. As if she needed it. Sheila Wilcoxson's earthy, bluesy delivery, if converted to ultra sounds, could clean cobwebs from dusty attics. Bill Rhoades works out on harp throughout, giving the tracks a distinct ... see all copies from $6.61! new only from $13.81!
18 view cover	The Shoe Box (2007) more music like this by Jay Boy Adams Jay Boy Adams is a long-forgotten footnote to the Lubbock music scene of the 1970s, the same scene that brought the world the Flatlanders axis and, slightly later, the Maines Brothers Band (and still later than that, Lloyd Maines' somewhat more world-famous daughter Natalie). He released two minor country-rock albums on Atlantic in the late '70s, ... see all copies from $10.90! new only from $10.90!
19 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 $3.40! new only from $14.37!
20 view cover	Necro Blues (2006) more music like this by Sioux City Pete & The Beggars see all copies from $12.37! new only from $12.37!
21 view cover	Hymn Time in the Country (1988) more music like this by Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver's Hymn Time in the Country is an excellent contemporary bluegrass gospel album. Though there's a couple of weak tracks -- it would have been nice to hear "John the Revelator" with a full instrumental accompaniment, the album has enough terrific harmonies and spirit to satisfy both traditional bluegrass fans and ... see all copies from $11.50! new only from $14.42!
22 view cover	Rock My Soul & Other Gospel Favorites (2001) more music like this by Golden Gate Quartet see all copies from $21.16! new only from $21.16!
23 view cover	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 $12.60! new only from $12.60!
24 view cover	The Roots of Taj Mahal (2000) more music like this by Various Artists An interesting concept to say the least, here's an exemplary collection of blues tunes all covered by Taj Mahal at one point or another. But here's the original versions of classics by Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Leadbelly, Sleepy John Estes, Son House, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Blind Boy Fuller and ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
25 view cover	Sweeter as the Years Go By (1990) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson Blind Willie Johnson was perhaps the finest singing evangelist of all time. While the 16 tracks on this CD aren't as striking as those on the seminal Praise God I'm Satisfied, they're still invigorating and a vital part of his legacy. Johnson played acoustic rather than slide on several cuts, and didn't take flamboyant solos or add slashing ... see all copies from $16.01! new only from $16.01!
