1	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three ... see all copies from $20.13! new only from $20.13!
2	Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings (1996) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's latter-day recordings after his rediscovery have somewhat obscured the importance of these debut sides -- the ones that made his rediscovery an idea initially worth pursuing. Archival recordings such as Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings are the collector's items that made his rep in the first place, and stand ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
3	Today! (1966) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Today is Mississippi John Hurt's first and finest studio release since his "rediscovery" on his Avalon farm by folklorist Tom Hoskins in 1963. Eclipsed possibly only by his earlier 1928 Sessions, this album shows a more mature Hurt picking his way through standards and originals after the Depression years and Hurt's fall into obscurity before the ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
4	The Pizza Tapes (2000) more music like this by Jerry Garcia/David Grisman/Tony Rice Jerry Garcia and David Grisman released two albums on the latter's Acoustic Disc label during the last years of Garcia's life, and since his death in 1995, Grisman has culled a series of albums from other sessions the two recorded together. Shady Grove (1996) presented traditional folk and country material, while So What (1998) contained jazz ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
5	Classic African American Ballads from Smithsonian Folkways (2006) more music like this by Various Artists The African American ballads collected on this intriguing set from Smithsonian Folkways don't differ in obvious ways from the British ballad tradition, with the songs in both streams dealing frequently with death, often from romance gone awry, and several of the selections here ("Mouse on the Hill," "Stewball," "St. James Infirmary," "Gallis Pole" ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.70!
6	Union (2006) more music like this by Sam Pacetti/Gabriel Valla see all copies from $8.45! new only from $14.39!
7	D.C. Blues: Library of Congress Recordings (2004) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt was easily the most accessible of all the 1920s bluesmen rediscovered still alive and in playing condition in the early 1960s. His easy, gentle singing voice and deft guitar picking abilities were still intact and undiminished, and where some of his hard-living contemporaries suffered from alcoholism, Alzheimer's, or just ... see all copies from $15.38! new only from $15.38!
8	I Watched the Devil Die (2005) more music like this by Chris Cotton Ask a group of musicologists what type of music Leadbelly performed, and you're likely to get different responses. Some will categorize his work as folk; others will say Southern country blues. Truth be told, Leadbelly was both of those things -- he was as relevant to folk as Woody Guthrie; he was as relevant to Southern county blues as Charley ... see all copies from $10.15! new only from $10.15!
9	But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted (2007) more music like this by Samamidon As Samamidon, bandmates Thomas Bartlett and Sam Amidon break away from the sweet indie pop of their Doveman work and instead explore traditional folk. On their debut, But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted, a sad, pretty record that moves effortlessly from slow indie rock to folk , they cover old field songs -- as well as a Tears for Fears track, ... see all copies from $9.72! new only from $9.72!
10	Avalon Blues (1963) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt This is the first in a multiple-volume series devoted to the Piedmont recordings Hurt made upon his rediscovery in the early '60s. They capture him with his playing and singing still intact, untouched by the world around him, a world that had changed so much since he initially recorded back in the '20s. Many of his best-known tunes are here -- ... see all copies from $5.24! new only from $14.96!
11 view cover	Stop This World (1996) more music like this by Terry Robb see all copies from $5.94! new only from $14.23!
12 view cover	Alone With the Blues (2004) more music like this by Paul Oscher Paul Oscher is an alumnus of the Muddy Waters band, where he played harmonica in the late '60s, and developed his talent on guitar from watching Muddy himself, and his piano style from the late Otis Spann. This fourth solo outing is a mishmash of sessions -- one of which, his take on "That's Alright," was recorded on cassette in a Brooklyn ... see all copies from $10.49! new only from $13.90!
13 view cover	The Executioner's Last Songs, Vol. 2 & 3 (2003) more music like this by Jon Langford and The Pine Valley Cosmonauts Jon Langford and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts' second collection of songs about murder, death, and dying -- recorded to benefit the Illinois Coalition Against the Death Penalty and the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty -- certainly ups the ante of ambition and diversity over The Executioner's Last Songs, and while Vol. 2 & 3 lacks some ... see all copies from $6.94! new only from $11.12!
14 view cover	Legend (1997) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt These 14 songs were recorded in 1963 and 1964; material from these sessions appeared briefly on Canada's Rebel label, as well as Piedmont. The mood is late-night informal, although there's little, if anything, in the Hurt catalog that could not be called informal. Hurt's originals are dotted with standards like "See See Rider," "Do Lord Remember ... see all copies from $14.64! new only from $14.64!
15 view cover	Candy Man Blues (2004) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt With an intricate, delicate guitar style and a soft, gentle voice, Mississippi John Hurt benefited mightily from the recording technology of the day when he recorded 20 tracks for OKeh Records in three sessions (one in Memphis and two in New York City) in 1928. In a genre known for slashing bottleneck stylists and gruff-voiced shouters suited to ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $9.32!
16 view cover	Songs of Mississippi John Hurt (1999) more music like this by Bill Morrissey As Morrissey's rep is built solidly on the fine storytelling abilities so well-crafted in his original songs, it may come as a surprise to hear him in this setting, turning in equally compelling takes on Mississippi John Hurt material. Utilizing various settings and lineups to recast the material in terms other than the typical solo-acoustic ... see all copies from $4.92! new only from $14.70!

18 view cover	The Encyclopedia of Early Blues Classics [1 Disc] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.50! new only from $6.99!

21 view cover	Many Miles of Blues (2000) more music like this by Jerry Ricks Ricks' second outing continues down the same dirt path as his late-coming 1997 U.S. debut. Ricks' renditions of songs made famous by legendary acoustic bluesmen like Furry Lewis, Skip James, and Mississippi John Hurt testify to his respect for tradition, while his original tunes speak to this era as well as the past. Whether he's picking a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22 view cover	Memorial Anthology (1993) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's mid-'60s performances were usually distinctive and sometimes staggering. His guitar work was crisp, attractive and frequently brilliant, although his vocals were the real hook. Hurt's narratives, storytelling ability and general communicative powers were at their peak on this two-CD set, which has languished in a vault for ... see all copies from $24.46! new only from $24.46!
23 view cover	The Encyclopedia of Early Blues Classics [2 Disc] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc budget collection is a mishmash of old 78s, and 1960s rediscovery recordings of blues and folk artists. What makes it unusual, although it probably isn't a selling point, is that the musicians are presented in sequence alphabetically. There are some great songs and performances here, but nothing so rare that it can't easily be found ... see all copies from $11.75!
24 view cover	Beats Workin' (1996) more music like this by Mike Dowling see all copies from $8.01!
25 view cover	Bone Stonin' Blues (1995) more music like this by Svare Forsland see all copies from $50.00!
