1	Curb Your Tongue, Knave! (1963) more music like this by The Smothers Brothers Many of the commercial folk groups dabbled in humor, particularly during personal appearances, so it was only a matter of time until a folk group came along who existed primarily for laughs. The Smothers Brothers were that group, and they were much more successful on albums than on singles because their routines often centered around a theme that ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.98!
2	The Limeliters (1960) more music like this by The Limeliters An impressive debut for the just-born folk trio, this album presents songs that became stalwart parts of their stage act for decades, particularly Lee Hays' "Lonesome Traveler," and the Russian gypsy tune "Gari Gari," and from Mexico, "Malaguena Salerosa." The album is marred by some stilted and obvious overdubbing, but even though some of the ... see all copies from $6.70! new only from $12.55!
3	The Best of Joe & Eddie (1967) more music like this by Joe & Eddie The gospel-influenced folk of Joe and Eddie is well served by this lavish hits collection, which assembles 26 tracks from the duo's eight albums. It includes "There's a Meetin' Here Tonite," their best-known song. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.99!
4	The Tarriers (2001) more music like this by The Tarriers The Tarriers released their self-titled debut in 1957, one year before the folk revival exploded. Ironically, there's even a recording of "Tom Dooley" on The Tarriers, the song that made the Kingston Trio folk superstars. The group did have a hit with "The Banana Boat Song" -- the first to do so -- but Harry Belafonte's version, "Day-O," became ... see all copies from $10.47! new only from $14.74!
5	Wasn't That a Time?: The Best of the Weavers (2004) more music like this by The Weavers see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
6	Our Men in San Francisco/London Concert (2000) more music like this by The Limeliters This two-fer reissue from mail-order firm Collector's Choice Music combines two Limeliters live albums. By the time Our Men in San Francisco was recorded at the hungry i club in September 1962; folk audiences were hip to Lou Gottlieb's deliberately pompous introductions; and one can hear snickering in anticipation of the next "Lou-ism." The result ... see all copies from $17.81! new only from $17.81!
7	Wasn't That a Time? [Living Era] (2006) more music like this by The Weavers When the Weavers (Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman) first hit the pop charts in 1950, they brought with them a fairly radical concept: the notion that music was more than just entertainment but could be used effectively as a force for social change, and it is both ironic and a bit miraculous that the decidedly left-leaning ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
8	More Trini Lopez at PJ's (1963) more music like this by Trini Lopez The success of Trini Lopez's live debut, Trini Lopez at PJ's, ensured that the formula would be repeated with the release of More Trini Lopez at PJ's a few months later. The album was another success, barely missing the Top Ten on the album charts, and giving Lopez a second hit single with his hard-rocking performance of "Kansas City." The album ... see all copies from $7.00!
9	Pete Seeger: The Weavers [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Pete Seeger see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
10	Alive in Concert, Vol. 2 (1986) more music like this by The Limeliters Volume two of the "Alive! In Concert" series has identical front and rear liners as the Crescendo Volume 1 release, except now the album was on the Limeliters' own label, West Knoll (Lou and Alex's street address in Hollywood). The only difference is the songs. As in Volume 1, there remain some stable elements, such as the medley of folk tunes ... see all copies from $8.36!
11	Tell the World About This (2004) more music like this by The Tarriers The Tarriers haven't gone down in folk music history like the Kingston Trio or the Brothers Four, probably because they were never as popular. Perhaps the group's lineup never remained stable long enough, or perhaps the trio's racial mix was too radical for the times. Whatever the reason, it in no way diminishes the Tarriers' musical ... see all copies from $10.67! new only from $10.67!
12 view cover	Goodnight Irene: The Weavers, 1949-1953 (2000) more music like this by The Weavers There are great records, and then there are records like this one, which is an adventure as well as incomparable listening. And don't be repelled by the 100-plus dollar price tag -- this five-disc set manages to be a hootenanny, a history lesson, a light-hearted voyage through pasts musical, political, and cultural, and a pop-culture travelogue ... see all copies from $88.79! new only from $88.79!
13 view cover	The Best of the Decca Years (1996) more music like this by The Weavers The Best of the Decca Years is a thorough overview of the Weavers' peak hit-making years, containing all of their biggest '50s hit, including the chart-topping single "Goodnight Irene." Many of these recordings boast light orchestra and choral arrangements, which mean they may sound fairly dated to contemporary listeners, yet these were ... see all copies from $8.00!
14 view cover	The Ultimate Collection (2003) more music like this by The Weavers The dominate folk artists of the 1950s, the Weavers were instrumental in bringing true folk music to the American public, scoring radio hits with the most unlikely material, including the then obscure Leadbelly song, "Goodnight Irene." That song is included here, along with the old sailor's lament "The Wreck of the John B," a folk song from the ... see all copies from $9.15! new only from $9.15!
15 view cover	At Carnegie Hall (2006) more music like this by The Weavers The Weavers were a social and cultural anomaly. A politicized, left-leaning folk group who scored massive pop hits with orchestrated versions of sugary gentle songs like "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" and Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene," songs that were anything but political, the Weavers were portrayed as a collective version of the Big Bad Wolf when ... see all copies from $18.18! new only from $18.18!
16	Silver Threads & Golden Needles (1962) more music like this by Springfields Leading off with their sole American hit (the title track), Silver Threads & Golden Needles presented a talented vocal group that was rather too eclectic for its own good. Often it seemed as if they couldn't make up their mind up whether to be a commercial folk revival group, or a conventional mainstream showbiz act with folksy flavorings. Lee ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $60.00!
