1	Treasury of Library of Congress Field Recordings (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Thirty Library of Congress field recordings from 1933 to 1946, compiled and thoroughly annotated by Stephen Wade. There are many Library of Congress collections, but the diversity of performances on this disc might make one of the better selections for someone who's interested enough in folkloric recordings to have just a few, as opposed to an ... see all copies from $15.61! new only from $15.61!
2	Merle Travis in Boston 1959 (2003) more music like this by Merle Travis This warm live recording from 1959 finds Merle Travis all alone on his acoustic six-string, the perfect accompaniment to his robust voice. Splitting time between instrumentals and vocal numbers like "Dark as a Dungeon," "John Henry," and the ubiquitous "Sixteen Tons," Travis' singing and legendary picking are pristinely recorded, alternating ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
3	Trouble in Mind: Doc Watson Country Blues Collection (2003) more music like this by Doc Watson Trouble in Mind makes an interesting argument: Doc Watson, long deified in bluegrass and traditional folk circles, is also a fine country blues player. Perhaps the misunderstanding comes from the long tradition of dividing blues and folk players into different genres, or the mistaken assumption that black musicians (who often played the blues) ... see all copies from $14.96! new only from $14.96!
4	Folk Songs of the Hills (Back Home/Songs of the Coal Miners) (1994) more music like this by Merle Travis This German import -- which goes for about double the cost of the U.S. CD Folk Songs of the Hills -- contains not only Folk Songs of the Hills and Back Home (but not the previously unreleased "This World Is Not My Home"), but also an entire additional Merle Travis album, the 1963 Songs of the Coal Mines, which deals with the lot and lives of ... see all copies from $16.16! new only from $16.16!
5	Inspiration: 22 Harmonica Performances (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.60! new only from $15.60!
6	Mule to Ride (1999) more music like this by Tara Nevins On Tara Nevins' 1999 solo debut, Mule to Ride, she displays the earthy, earnest singing and playing that she's known for with her group, Donna the Buffalo. As with her work in the band, she accents her lilting voice and guitar work with flourishes of fiddle and accordion. With friends and guests like Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, Christine Balfa and ... see all copies from $16.10! new only from $16.10!
7	Together (1991) more music like this by Laurie Lewis & Kathy Lakkick Country's relationship with bluegrass is a lot like the relationships between reggae and ska, soca and calypso, or zydeco and Cajun music -- they aren't identical, but they're quite similar and share a common heritage. Country and bluegrass are both descendants of the Irish, British, and Scottish traditions that immigrants brought to the United ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $9.33!
8	The Folkways Years, 1944-1963 (1991) more music like this by Sonny Terry While he's best known as guitarist Brownie McGhee's longtime partner, harmonica ace and vocalist Sonny Terry made many excellent recordings as a solo act, and also recorded with Blind Boy Fuller and others. The 17 songs on this anthology include Terry playing with McGhee's brother Sticks, Pete Seeger, and others, as well as several featuring Terry ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $14.93!
9	Rock Island Line: The Singles Anthology 1955-1967 (1985) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan For most listeners, the three-disc, 86-track Sanctuary/Castle collection Rock Island Line: The Singles Anthology 1955-1967 will be nearly as overwhelming as the eight-disc, all-encompassing Bear Family box More Than "Pye in the Sky," since a little Lonnie Donegan can go a long way for the average listener. But, for those who decide to dig into ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $23.79!
10	Etta Baker With Taj Mahal (2004) more music like this by Etta Baker There really isn't much Taj Mahal on this album, but that's OK, since Etta Baker is a national treasure all on her own. Baker has been playing guitar since she was three years old, and is now well into her ninth decade doing it, which is amazing in itself, but what makes the jaw drop here is her total command of the instrument. Arguably the last ... see all copies from $9.88! new only from $9.88!
11 view cover	Back To The MAC (2001) more music like this by IIIrd Tyme Out Their second album in three years (even recorded at the same venue), IIIrd Tyme Out's follow-up to their wildly successful Live at the MAC exclusively contains the band's interpretations of other musicians' material, not too unusual in bluegrass but still a fine marker of the band's progress and standing. The group's sound, as always, is ... see all copies from $5.69! new only from $15.50!
12 view cover	Country Blues Troubadours 1938-1948 (2004) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee Country Blues Troubadours contains 125 tracks, spread out over five CD's, tracing blind harpist Sonny Terry and guitarist Brownie McGhee's earliest recordings between 1938 and 1948. JSP not only does an admirable job remastering the tracks, but providing recording dates, personnel, and a bit of history that is easily accessible in individual jewel ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
13 view cover	Best of the War Years (2003) more music like this by Woody Guthrie This collection of Woody Guthrie's recordings from 1944-1947 finds the poet and traveler laying down some of his best-known songs with frequent collaborators Cisco Houston and Sonny Terry, as well as a few appearances from "Guitar Slim" Alec Seward. Despite the rather aggressive title, Best of the War Years refers more to the time span, offering ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
14 view cover	From Blues to Gospel (1971) more music like this by Rev. Gary Davis His most Rev. Gary Davis was an active musician in addition to being a guitar instructor during his later years. From Blues to Gospel (1993) contains a bakers' dozen of selections featuring his inimitable performance style on an assortment of gospel and secular blues tunes. By the time of these 1971 recordings -- a year prior to his passing -- ... see all copies from $10.39! new only from $10.39!
15 view cover	Chain Gang Blues (1976) more music like this by Sonny Terry see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
16 view cover	American Folksay, Vol. 1-4 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists A collection of classic folk performances that are enjoyable, but readily available elsewhere. Of the 29 tracks, 17 of them feature Woody Guthrie. Among the classic songs are "Tom Dooley," "900 Miles," "Alabama Bound," "Midnight Special," and "Casey Jones." The focus of the album is scattered, and there is nothing here that will excite collectors, ... see all copies from $7.55! new only from $8.93!
17 view cover	This Is The Blues Harmonica, Vol. 2 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This is a particularly valuable sampler of great blues harmonica players, with the music drawn from the Delmark and United catalogs. The first six selections were never previously released and these include gems from Junior Wells, Sleepy John Estes (with Hammie Nixon on harmonica), Carey Bell, Mark Hummel, Magic Sam (with Shakey Jake) and the ... see all copies from $14.05! new only from $14.05!
18 view cover	Voices Electric (1994) more music like this by Plainsong see all copies from $19.37! new only from $19.37!
19 view cover	Talking Guitar Blues: The Very Best of Lonnie Donegan [Sequel] (1999) more music like this by Lonnie Donegan A case could be made that Lonnie Donegan had as much to do with the rise of rock & roll as Elvis Presley did, at least in Britain. As early as 1954, Donegan was playing what was essentially folk-rock, American folk tunes played on acoustic instruments, but supported with one hell of a backbeat. Termed "skiffle," Donegan's energetic folk ... see all copies from $18.41! new only from $18.41!
20 view cover	Rock 'N' Skiffle: Brit Beat Beginnings (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $19.96! new only from $19.96!
21 view cover	Members Edition (2002) more music like this by Woody Guthrie Recorded in the mid-'40s for Moses Asch, founder of Folkways Records, the songs on this release are available on many collections. Woody Guthrie is featured on guitar and vocal, Cisco Houston adds harmonies and also plays occasional second guitar or mandolin, and Sonny Terry is spotlighted on harmonica. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.85! new only from $3.85!
22 view cover	Country Hoedown Shows & Films (1995) more music like this by Merle Travis For collectors only, Country Hoedown Shows & Films contains 25 tracks drawn from radio transcriptions, soundies, and films. Although the outside packaging doesn't say so, several songs are solo performances by artists such as Ernest Tubb and Tex Williams, and some are ensemble vocal pieces or duets with Carolina Cotton, Judy Hayden, and others. ... see all copies from $14.39! new only from $14.39!
23 view cover	Almost Live at the Station Inn (1997) more music like this by Sidemen see all copies from $13.22!

Terry's joined by the likes of Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston, Alec Seward, and others on a delightful brace of country blues and folk tunes, ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
