1	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!
2	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!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	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!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.00! new only from $6.20!
10	Long Journey Home (1964) more music like this by The Kentucky Colonels The Kentucky Colonels are heard at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival on this Vanguard CD. A quartet at the time, as fiddler Scotty Stoneman had not yet joined the band, their performances include both instrumentals and vocals, with bassist Roger Bush also serving as the MC. Guitarist Clarence White, mandolinist Roland White, banjo player Billy Ray ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!

This three-CD set, part of 19 multiple-disc collections documenting -- thus far -- the month of April, 2002, on the road, is another ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $6.99!

16 view cover	Foggy Mountain Banjo (1961) more music like this by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs The album that secured Flatt & Scruggs standing among folk music enthusiasts in the 1960s, Foggy Mountain Banjo focuses on Earl Scruggs' instrumental prowess as well as his sharp interplay with dobroist Josh Graves, fiddler Paul Warren and Lester Flatt's flat-picking guitar. The album also features drummer Buddy Harman, whose appearance shocked ... see all copies from $5.99!
17 view cover	Bluegrass Guitar Duets (1994) more music like this by Sandy Rothman & Steve Pottier Not every guitarist is brave enough to follow in the footsteps of Clarence White, but there are exceptions. Sandy Rothman and Steve Pottier, both fine guitarists in their own right, decided to team up for 16 instrumentals on Bluegrass Guitar Duets. Many of these tunes, like "Weeping Willow" and "Black Mountain Rag," will be familiar, but even the ... see all copies from $4.31!

20 view cover	Blue Lightning (1990) more music like this by Jody Stecher w/ Kate Brislin Based in Seattle, this duo has the ability to perform contemporary as well a traditional songs with a singular relaxed authority.

21 view cover	On the Road: 04-21-02 Atlanta, GA (2002) more music like this by String Cheese Incident This second date from Atlanta showcases three different sides of the band's musical persona on April 21, 2002. Disc one showcases the more laid-back, progressive, fluid style the band may share with the Grateful Dead but displays in that way far more adventurously. Tracks here include the jam "Skat," the reggae dripper "Best Feeling," Bill Monroe ... see all copies from $22.97!
