1	Half Moon Bay (2004) more music like this by James Alan Shelton Anyone who has seen Ralph Stanley's fine touring band will be familiar with guitarist James Alan Shelton. Shelton's innovative method of cross-picking allows him to play lead while simultaneously never losing the rhythm. These picking skills are in abundant display on his 2004 Rebel release, Half Moon Bay, and he's joined by a number of other ... see all copies from $9.10! new only from $11.12!
2	The High Lonesome Sound (1998) more music like this by Roscoe Holcomb Twenty-one tracks from his Folkways album, including his accomplished, somber renditions of standards such as "House of the Rising Sun," "Moonshiner," "Trouble in Mind," and "Motherless Children." Holcomb is a big favorite among musicians and folklorists -- Bob Dylan, for one, is a big fan -- yet it must be said that this is probably too ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
3	You Ain't Talkin' to Me: Charlie Poole and the Roots of Country Music (2005) more music like this by Charlie Poole First, a word about what You Ain't Talkin' to Me is not: it is not a box set of Charlie Poole's complete recorded work. He recorded some 110 songs for the Columbia, Paramount, and Brunswick labels between 1925 and 1931, and 43 of those tracks are collected here, with the balance of this three-disc set given over to sides by Poole's stylistic ... see all copies from $21.49! new only from $33.52!
4	Bluegrass Early Cuts 1931-1953: Classic Recordings Remastered [Box Set] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This four-disc box set from JSP Records collects tracks from the earliest years of bluegrass music, and in a rather curious sequencing decision, runs them backwards from the first disc, which includes the latest selections from the 1950s, to the fourth, which is made up of what are essentially high-octane string band tracks from the early '30s. ... see all copies from $17.45! new only from $26.81!
5	Mountain Blues: Blues, Ballads & String Bands 1927-1938 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Country has been called the white man's blues, but the phrase has probably only been truly accurate when applied to the so-called hillbilly records from the 1920s and 1930s, the period and genre covered by this four-disc, 100-track anthology from JSP. Not that everything here is actually blues (the string band selections in particular are really ... see all copies from $30.93! new only from $30.93!
6	Hillbilly Honeymoon (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.74! new only from $6.74!
7	Georgia Songsters (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
8	Complete Recorded Works 1929-1931 (1994) more music like this by Gene Campbell Virtually nothing is known about vocalist-guitarist Gene Campbell other than the fact he recorded 24 solo selections. 22 are on this CD with the other two being lost. Campbell is heard on five dates recorded in Dallas and Chicago recorded within a 14-month period. A fine if not overly memorable singer, Campbell is expressive on such numbers ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
9	Rough and Rowdy Hillbilly of the 1930's, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Bill Cox/Cliff Hobbs see all copies from $18.50! new only from $18.50!
10	Rock-A-Billy Party (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.67! new only from $19.38!
11 view cover	Old-Time Pickin': A Clawhammer Banjo Collection (2008) more music like this by Ralph Stanley Ralph Stanley is one of very few bluegrass banjo players who still occasionally takes off the steel fingerpicks and plays in the older, more traditional clawhammer (or "frailing") style. It's a more modal and percussive approach, one that carries with it the rough-hewn charm of old-time string band music rather than the flashier, more commercial ... see all copies from $8.06! new only from $8.06!
12	Early Days of Bluegrass, Vol. 1 (1974) more music like this by Various Artists A brilliant performance of "Leavin Tennessee" by the Kelleys kicks off the first side of the first volume of this landmark series of historic early bluegrass compilations, surely one of the best projects this sometimes overrated folk and roots music label has ever undertaken. Who are the Kelleys? One of many important and innovative performers ... see all copies from $18.00!
