1	Anthology (2003) more music like this by Bill Monroe So much has been said about the founding father of bluegrass music that it would be nice if there was an all-encompassing collection of Bill Monroe's music to accompany the legend. Although the almost -correctly titled Anthology comes close, there is still a wealth of Columbia and RCA-Victor recordings missing from this Decca-centric collection, ... see all copies from $16.72! new only from $16.72!
2	Classic Bluegrass from Smithsonian Folkways (2002) more music like this by Various Artists While bluegrass samplers are by no means rare, it's unusual to encounter one as well thought-out as this generous (and mid-priced) package from Smithsonian Folkways, the folk label known more for its ethnomusicological field recordings than its bluegrass albums. Cynics will point out that this collection comes hot on the heels of the success of ... see all copies from $10.39! new only from $10.39!
3	Long Steel Rail (2006) more music like this by Riley Baugus Fiddler and banjoist Riley Baugus traffics in old-timey music, a genre older, and some say, purer, than bluegrass. Long Steel Rail, then, is an album filled with traditional songs performed and sung in a traditional manner. Baugus' vocals carry an old country flavor that makes him a worthy interpreter of old warhorses like "Sail Away Ladies" and ... see all copies from $6.25! new only from $11.50!
4	Treasures Untold (1964) more music like this by Doc Watson Treasures Untold is comprised of unreleased performances recorded at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. At the concert, Doc Watson and his family were in fine form, breathing life into a number of old-timey songs, ranging from ballads to folk songs to gospel. It's an exciting, affectionate performance, highlighted by four duets with Clarence White. ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $15.24!
5	50 Years of Bluegrass Hits, Vol. 3 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists CHM raids its vaults yet again, drawing on tried and true bluegrass classics by the likes of Lester Flatt, Mac Wiseman, Grandpa Jones, and the Stonemans. There's nothing here that bluegrass aficionados haven't heard before or have elsewhere, but with over an hour's worth of music and solid musicianship all the way through, 50 Years of Bluegrass ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $10.98!
6	The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of (2006) more music like this by Various Artists For anyone who's collected 78-rpm records, enjoyed Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, or expressed interest in the great missing old-time and blues records of yesteryear, The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of will be the Holy Grail. Whereas it isn't unusual for Yazoo to place a rarity on a new collection by Blind Blake or Blind Lemon ... see all copies from $24.05! new only from $24.05!
7	American Banjo: Three Finger & Scruggs Style (1990) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.34! new only from $14.78!
8	Vol. 3: The War and Post War Years 1940-51 (2007) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Mississippi-born guitarist Big Bill Broonzy had a voice that could really grow on you. The living embodiment of the rural-to-urban blues tradition, he often infused the gutsy, sometimes brutally honest immediacy of acoustic Chicago blues and good time hokum with the lonely intensity of the field holler. Vol. 3 in JSP's extensively complete Big ... see all copies from $25.43! new only from $25.43!
9	Hootenanny (1998) more music like this by David Grier In the 1950s, college students who were caught up in the folk boom attended gatherings where they played acoustic instruments and sang. These "hootenannies" were informal and non-professional. Guitarist David Grier decided to have his own little get together with multiple instrumentalists Tim O'Brien and Dirk Powell on Hootenanny. Recorded over a ... see all copies from $10.43! new only from $11.41!
10	Railroad Bill (1999) more music like this by Etta Baker The "premier woman Piedmont blues guitar instrumentalist" is a wordy but accurate description of 87-year-old Etta Baker of Morganton, NC. One of the last pickers who was around when the music was first being recorded, Baker's 83 years of practice is manifested in these wonderful recordings of traditional folk ballads. One highlight follows another ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!
11 view cover	Old-Time String Band: Traditional Dance Tunes (1997) more music like this by Camp Creek Boys Released on CD 30 years after their original recording in 1967, these 14 sides represent old-time mountain music at its most authentic. The Camp Creek Boys all hailed from North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountain valley, and their playing on such standards as "Old Joe Clark," "Soldier's Joy," and "Cotton Eyed Joe" harked back to an era on the verge of ... see all copies from $10.12! new only from $11.37!
12 view cover	Reap What You Sow (2004) more music like this by The Foghorn Stringband see all copies from $15.79! new only from $15.79!
13 view cover	Gone with the Wind (2000) more music like this by Frank Hovington see all copies from $20.59! new only from $20.59!
14 view cover	New York Blues and R&B 1947-1955 (2007) more music like this by Sticks McGhee This fascinating set is really the story of two brothers, Stick McGhee and Brownie McGhee, both of whom were guitarists (Brownie being good enough to actually work regularly as a session player). Stick recorded a song he had written, "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee," in 1947 (with his brother Brownie sitting in on guitar) for J. Mayo Williams' tiny ... see all copies from $24.31! new only from $24.31!
15 view cover	Untying the Not (2003) more music like this by String Cheese Incident After releasing a mammoth 40 live recordings from their 2002 tour, String Cheese Incident is back in the studio with easily the finest moment they have ever committed to tape in this environment. On Untying the Not, SCI erases the perception that the only thing they are capable of as a band is playing long, wonderfully intricate, transcendent jams ... see all copies from $10.75! new only from $10.75!
16 view cover	Western Swing Chronicles, Vol. 4 (2005) more music like this by W. Lee O'Daniel/The Hillbilly Boys/The Light Crust Doughboys see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
17 view cover	Doughboys, Playboys and Cowboys: The Golden Years of Western Swing (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This four-disc box chronicles the development of Western swing from the Fort Worth Doughboys' 1932 recordings through its heyday in the late '40s. Along the way, the collection covers every major artist, from Bob Wills and Spade Cooley to pioneers like Milton Brown and Bill Boyd, who have been under-represented almost to the point of extinction in ... see all copies from $25.95! new only from $25.95!
18 view cover	Country Guitar Thunder (1977-1981) (1983) more music like this by Merle Travis & Joe Maphis Merle Travis recorded his portion of this album in association with veteran flat-picker Joe Maphis (maybe the fastest guitarist that ever lived) during 1977 and 1981 in Nashville, Tennessee, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Charlotte, North Carolina. It's an all-instrumental album made up of duets and Maphis solo-featured numbers, and material ranging ... see all copies from $7.62! new only from $7.62!
19 view cover	Bluegrass: It's About Time, It's About Me (2005) more music like this by Roy Clark This isn't exactly a bluegrass album, although it comes close, gathering tracks Roy Clark recorded in the 1970s for the Dot and ABC labels that are generally bluegrass in nature. Most of the tracks are from 1973's Roy Clark's Family Album and 1974's Family and Friends, with additional tracks drawn from Clark's two albums with banjo player Buck ... see all copies from $9.96! new only from $9.96!
20 view cover	Broke, Black and Blue [Box] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This four-disc, 100-track box set differs from most blues compendiums on a number of fronts. For openers, it focuses on the first 20 years of blues recordings, from 1924's "Barrelhouse Blues" by Ed Andrews to 1946's "Rhythm Mama" by Johnny Temple. Second, even though there are entries from artists like Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House ... see all copies from $29.40! new only from $29.40!
21 view cover	Hand Hewn (2001) more music like this by Dry Branch Fire Squad Great albums from Dry Branch Fire Squad are nothing new. The band's lineup has changed slowly but fairly constantly over its 25-year history, but the commitment of its leader, mandolinist, and singer Ron Thomason to the various strains and traditions of old-time and bluegrass music has never flagged. Nor has his sense of humor, which is legendary. ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.38!
22 view cover	Best of Hylo Brown, Vol. 2 (2006) more music like this by Hylo Brown Hylo Brown's rather laid-back approach to bluegrass, which featured country-styled vocals and a pace and feel that were really only a half step removed from his Appalachian string band roots, will no doubt sound dated and quaint to those only familiar with the supercharged sounds of contemporary bluegrass. Brown (his real name was Frank Brown -- ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
23 view cover	Free Country (2003) more music like this by Joel Harrison This is certainly an intriguing release. Guitarist Joel Harrison recorded a dozen songs associated with country music, some of them quite traditional, but he recast them in surprising ways, making the CD title of Free Country fit quite well. Sometimes his steel guitar pays respect to the melodies and at other times he freaks out a bit on his ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $11.52!
24 view cover	24 Old-Timey Favorites (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Released to capitalize on the success of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, 24 Old-Timey Favorites begins appropriately enough with a rendition of "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow" by Don Reno and Bill Harrell with The Tennessee Cut-Ups. The program encompasses bluegrass, fiddle tunes and old-timey country, with an emphasis on traditional ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $8.51!
25 view cover	20 Bluegrass Favorites (1997) more music like this by Earl Taylor/Jim McCall/Stoney Mountain Boys Taylor, McCall and the Stoney Mountain Boys deliver renditions of standards including "Little Maggie," "Foggy Mountain Top," "(Lost All My Money But a) Two Dollar Bill," "Roll in Sweet Baby's Arms," "Cripple Creek" and "Wreck of the Old '97" on this superior collection.
