1	Family Tree (2007) more music like this by Nick Drake For many years after his death, unreleased home tapes that Nick Drake made shortly before beginning his official recording career have been bootlegged among collectors. The 28 songs on Family Tree add up to an extensive (though not quite complete, missing some minor covers like "Get Together," "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright," and "Summertime") ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $14.48!
2	The Essential Bessie Smith (1997) more music like this by Bessie Smith Although there are a multitude of box sets chronicling Bessie's entire recorded career, this two-disc, 36-song set sweats it down to the bare essentials in quite an effective manner. Bessie could sing it all, from the lowdown moan of "St. Louis Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" to her torch treatment of the jazz standard ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
3	Tom Rush [1965] (1965) more music like this by Tom Rush It's unfortunate that Tom Rush's third album has such a strong reputation among rock listeners -- not that it doesn't deserve it, but it sort of distracts them from this album, which was as natural a fit for rock listeners as any folk album of its era. Rush's debut album is filled with a hard, bluesy brand of folk music that's hard on the acoustic ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.75!
4	On Stage (1977) more music like this by Rainbow Breaking with '70s heavy metal tradition by releasing a live album after only two studio efforts (you're supposed to have three before the live one), Rainbow served up this double platter in 1977. On Stage is full of great songs and playing, but somehow it lacks some of the excitement that existed at those early Ritchie Blackmore concerts. The ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
5	The Essential Doc Watson (1973) more music like this by Doc Watson It's a measure of how succinct Doc Watson's interpretations of traditional music are that this 26-song collection is one of the few Vanguard double-LP compilations to make it onto CD completely intact, with no songs eliminated, and it still clocks in at under 70 minutes. It's also one of the better sounding of the Welk Music Group's mid-'80s CD ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.22!
6	Our Mother the Mountain (1969) by Townes Van Zandt see all copies from $13.15! new only from $13.15!
7	The Blue Ridge Rangers (1973) more music like this by John Fogerty/The Blue Ridge Rangers With wonderfully chosen songs like "Hearts of Stone" and George Jones' classic country weeper "She Thinks I Still Care," John Fogerty's solo debut with The Blue Ridge Rangers has held up well over the last two decades. It isn't the most supple or technically proficient one-man recording of all time, but it's a wonderfully engaging record; upbeat, ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $10.29!
8	The Complete Mercury Recordings (2003) more music like this by The Stanley Brothers Major label Universal, which controls the catalog of Mercury Records, has taken a welcome, if belated, interest in the recordings made for Mercury by the Stanley Brothers during their tenure there from 1953 to 1958, issuing a full-priced compilation, Angel Band: The Classic Mercury Recordings in 1995, and an entry in the midline-priced 20th ... see all copies from $15.63! new only from $19.61!
9	Billie's Blues [Blue Note] (1942) more music like this by Billie Holiday Most of this excellent CD features one of Billie Holiday's finest concert recordings of the 1950s. Recorded in Europe before an admiring audience, this enjoyable set finds Lady Day performing seven of her standards with her trio and joining in for jam session versions of "Billie's Blues" and "Lover Come Back to Me" with an all-star group starring ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $5.00!
10	30 Years of Bluegrass (2006) by Various Artists 30 Years of Bluegrass is a budget-priced CD that delves into the vaults of Starday Records and features performances by the Stanley Brothers, Reno & Smiley, Grandpa Jones, Charlie Monroe, New Grass Revival and Stringbean. You can't go wrong with the strong lineup of bluegrass pioneers on this budget-priced set from Gusto. Al Campbell, All Music ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $6.98!
11	The Collection (1989) more music like this by Bessie Smith While there's no denying the importance and quality of Columbia/Legacy's Complete Recordings series, nine discs may seem a bit intimidating to the newcomer. Collection, a mid-priced, 16-track collection which spans most of Smith's career, ultimately does a better service to the casual listener with a limited budget. This is probably the best ... see all copies from $7.82!
12 view cover	Freight Train Boogie (1993) more music like this by The Delmore Brothers It's kind of a toss-up as to whether this or the German When They Let the Hammer Fall is the best compilation of the Delmore Brothers work from the late '40s and early '50s. When They Let the Hammer Fall is more raucous and up-tempo; the 20-track Freight Train Boogie, though, has more variety. Freight Train Boogie is much easier to locate in the U ... see all copies from $27.03! new only from $27.03!
13 view cover	The Definitive Collection 1947-1966 (2007) more music like this by The Stanley Brothers There are scores of Stanley Brothers compilations out there, most of them label specific, but Time-Life's three-disc Definitive Collection is the one that die-hard fans have been dreaming of for a long time, a set that covers the brothers' entire 19-year recording career and includes tracks they cut for the Rich-R-Tone, Columbia, Mercury, King, ... see all copies from $35.02! new only from $35.02!
14 view cover	Hide Head Blues (2005) more music like this by Jim Mills The fact that Jim Mills plays banjo in Ricky Skaggs' Kentucky Thunder is a ringing endorsement that the man knows his stuff. Hide Head Blues, then, gives Mills a chance to step into the spotlight and show bluegrass fans what he's got. The album moves between instrumental and vocal (mostly by guests) tracks, with fancy picking from Mills and ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
15 view cover	Chattanooga Gal (2004) more music like this by Bessie Smith see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
16 view cover	Legend (2003) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt This two-disc collection from the British label Charly provides a generous sample of some of Townes Van Zandt's best work with the independent labels Poppy and Tomato, both owned and run by Kevin Eggers. All the classic Van Zandt songs are here, including "If I Needed You," "Pancho and Lefty," "Kathleen," "St. John the Gambler," and "Tecumseh," ... see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
17 view cover	Dueling Banjos/Live at Kansas State (2000) more music like this by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs Putting together one of Scruggs' best albums (Live at Kansas State) with one of his less interesting (Dueling Banjos) made good marketing sense, but it makes for an uneven CD. Tracks 11-22 are the real treats here, off the live album, and the price is low enough that one can regard the other ten songs as a bonus, with some occasionally brilliant ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
18 view cover	Greatest Hits (2005) more music like this by Bessie Smith see all copies from $11.85! new only from $11.85!
19 view cover	Double Blues (1973) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins Lightnin' Hopkins' plaintive, soft-rolling blues style is exemplified on "Let's Go Sit on the Lawn," "Just a Wristwatch on My Arm," "I'm a Crawling Black Snake," Willie Dixon's "My Babe," and others. Accompanied only by himself on guitar (and oh what a guitar he plays), Leonard Gaskin (bass), and Herb Lovelle (drums), Hopkins' seductive, intricate ... see all copies from $7.52! new only from $10.35!
20 view cover	Country Music Legends [RCR] (2006) more music like this by Roy Acuff see all copies from $5.63! new only from $6.86!
21 view cover	50 Years of Bluegrass Hits, Vol. 2 [1995] (1985) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.90! new only from $13.03!
22 view cover	The Blue Ridge Rangers (1973) more music like this by The Blue Ridge Rangers With wonderfully chosen songs like "Hearts of Stone" and George Jones's classic country weeper "She Thinks I Still Care," Fogerty's solo debut has held up well over the last two decades. It isn't the most supple or technically proficient one-man recording of all time, but it's a wonderfully engaging record; upbeat, unpretentious, and loaded with ... see all copies from $9.99!
23 view cover	The Great Blues Men (1972) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.00! new only from $18.91!
24 view cover	Mama Likes Bluegrass Music: 23 Bluegrass Favorites (1997) more music like this by Raymond Fairchild see all copies from $4.75! new only from $4.95!
25 view cover	Blues Kingpins (2003) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins Lightnin' Hopkins ability to take a stock kit bag of boogie riffs and spin endlessly varied blues-based lyrics over the top of them, usually personalizing the story just enough to keep things fresh, served him well throughout his career, but he was arguably at his best at the very start of that career before constant label hopping seemingly became ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
