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	Ramblin' (1979) more music like this by Lucinda Williams A collection of blues and country standards by Robert Johnson, Memphis Minnie, Hank Williams, and others. Williams is accompanied only by guitarist John Grimaudo. Re-released by Smithsonian/Folkways in 1991 as Ramblin'. Kurt Wolff, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.78!
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	Odetta and the Blues (1962) more music like this by Odetta Odetta earned her rep singing traditional folk in the mid-'50s before the American folk revival got underway with the Kingston Trio and "Tom Dooley" in 1958. Unlike many of her contemporaries, however, she had a habit of going her own way from time to time. One of Odetta's most interesting deviations from straight folk, and one that caused a bit ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
5	Live [Vanguard] (2002) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's vocal and guitar style are always easy on the ears. Unlike a number of Delta stylists with their high-pitched voices and slashing slide guitars, Hurt's approach to country blues is immediately accessible. Recorded (for the most part) at Oberlin College in 1965, Live captures Hurt a couple of years after his rediscovery and ... see all copies from $15.24! new only from $15.24!
6	The Very Best of the Journeymen (1998) more music like this by The Journeymen This anthology compiles over two dozen sides from the traditional folk trio, the Journeymen. During their brief existence, Dick Weissman (banjo/vocals), Scott McKenzie (guitar/vocals), and future Mamas & the Papas founder, John Phillips (guitar/vocals), created a powerful blend of intricate vocals and ambitious instrumentation. The selections on ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
7	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Vanguard] (1989) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Contrary to what its title would make one believe, this record is not a collection of previously available recordings by Mississippi John Hurt -- rather, it is a complete concert from Oberlin College on April 15, 1965. Regardless, the title is justified, as the concert features Hurt in excellent form doing most of his best known classic songs from ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
8	Kirkatron/Boogie-Woogie String Along for Real (2005) more music like this by Rahsaan Roland Kirk This issue combines two late-period Rahsaan Roland Kirk albums: Kirkatron, begun shortly before the major stroke that debilitated him and shortened his life, and Boogie-Woogie String Along for Real, his first attempt at a comeback and his final recording. Kirkatron hosts three tunes recorded for it, and nine more that were outtakes from the ... see all copies from $9.80! new only from $9.80!
9	Putumayo Presents: Mississippi Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
10	Rediscovered (1998) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Featuring over 75 minutes and 23 tracks, Rediscovered compiles tracks off Hurt's four Vanguard releases -- Today!, The Immortal Mississippi John Hurt, Last Sessions, and The Best of Mississippi John Hurt. The tracks selected are truly first-rate and give a fine cross-section of Hurt's gently rolling country-blues, including many of his better ... see all copies from $7.72! new only from $15.18!
11 view cover	Chicago Piano, Vol. 1 (1951) more music like this by Jimmy Yancey Jimmy Yancey was one of the pioneer boogie-woogie pianists, but unlike many of the other pacesetters, he had a gentle and thoughtful style that also crossed over into the blues. This Atlantic CD, a straight reissue of the 1972 LP, contains Yancey's final recordings, cut just eight weeks before his death from diabetes. The pianist is in fine form ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
12 view cover	Way Down in North Carolina (1996) more music like this by Mike Seeger & Paul Brown This collection of traditional mountain tunes allows Mike Seeger and Paul Brown to show off their fine taste in source material as well as their accomplished musicianship on everything from the autoharp to a trump (what's commonly called a Jew's harp). Extensive notes detail the duo's song selections and what each musician played from tune to tune ... see all copies from $10.56! new only from $10.56!
13 view cover	Harp, Steel And Guts (2000) more music like this by The Blue Rider Trio Mix in a few measures of folk country blues with Georgia red clay with an occasional rock rhythm and you have the Blue Rider Trio's first album in nine years. They have come a long way, showing greater confidence and ease with the music. They're tough when they have to be, and tender, too. The program is a conglomerate of traditional tunes mixed ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $14.72!
14 view cover	Mister So and So (1996) more music like this by Frank Christian Having taken 13 years between the releases of his first and second albums, Frank Christian was back after only a year with his third. One reason for the speed seems to be that he chose to make an album more like his live performances, mixing in cover songs along with his own originals. Those songs gave some insight into the breadth of the artist, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.56!
15 view cover	Don't Play Boogie (2000) more music like this by Bob Hall While Brit piano boss Bob Hall may not be a ubiquitous name to American record buyers or even Yank musicians, in the U.K. his name is synonymous with myth, legend, and greatness. Like percussionist Ray Cooper, Hall has shared stages with everyone from Savoy Brown to Fleetwood Mac and everyone in between, content to contribute his particularly ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	The Best of the Vanguard Years (1999) more music like this by Odetta Odetta began recording in the mid-'50s but her best known work (and easiest to find) is from her early-'60s stay with Vanguard Records, the period that this introductory compilation is drawn from, and these clear, uncluttered and focused tracks make a fine introduction to this dedicated singer. Odetta, like so many other great American singers, ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
17 view cover	Livin' with the Blues (2000) more music like this by Odetta If any female vocalist should be compared to Leadbelly, it's Odetta. Like Leadbelly, Odetta has long had one foot in folk and the other in the blues. The singer did some of her most compelling work for Vanguard in the '60s, and her Vanguard output is the focus of Livin' With The Blues. Released in 2000, this collection focuses on Odetta's Vanguard ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!

19 view cover	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Aim] (1998) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $10.36! new only from $10.36!
20 view cover	Two by Two: The Complete Sessions (1995) more music like this by Dave Young see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!

24 view cover	The Unissued 1951 Yancey Wire Recordings (1998) more music like this by Jimmy Yancey & Mama Yancey Boogie-woogie pianist Jimmy Yancey and his wife, Mama Yancey, used to have musical gatherings at their Chicago home. The performances heard on this CD were recorded by a wire recorder three months before Yancey's death, and were released for the first time on this 1997 CD. The recording quality varies greatly, ranging from listenable to quite ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
