1	Woody Guthrie Sings Folk Songs (1962) more music like this by Woody Guthrie In April 1944, 31-year-old Woody Guthrie discovered a recording outlet when he hooked up with record company owner Moses Asch, who agreed to let him cut a virtually unlimited number of masters informally. Guthrie simply would turn up at Asch's studios alone or with such friends as Cisco Houston, Sonny Terry, Leadbelly, and Bess Lomax Hawes, and ... see all copies from $10.49! new only from $14.61!
2	Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this by Cisco Houston Of the singers who brought folk into the modern era around World War II, Cisco Houston seems to have less name recognition than either Woody Guthrie or Leadbelly. Not a songwriter himself, Houston did a great deal to promote the songs and legacy of Guthrie during the mid- to late-'50s, and a number of songs on this recording come from Cisco ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!

4	Presenting/In Person (2003) more music like this by The New Christy Minstrels The New Christy Minstrels took ensemble folk music to its logical conclusion. Many vocal groups utilized three or four participants, allowing for multiple lead singers and smooth harmony. The New Christy Minstrels consisted of 14 players, creating something akin to a choral group capable of handling complex arrangements of overlapping male/female ... see all copies from $13.09! new only from $13.09!

7	Old Town School of Folk Music Song Book, Vols. 2 & 3 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists After issuing the first disc in its four-part "songbook" series in 2006, Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music packages the second and third volumes together on this double-CD set, with a final single album to follow. The idea is to have established folk standards, most of them credited to "Traditional" as songwriter, performed by a variety of ... see all copies from $10.41! new only from $10.41!
8	The Ballad Operas: The Martins & The Coys (2000) more music like this by Alan Lomax Part of a new series of reissues from Rounder, Ballad Operas: The Martins and the Coys presents a variety of folksong heroes doing ballad operas. Included are performances from Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives, Will Greer, and Lily May Ledford, among others. John Bush, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.60! new only from $13.60!
9	Tradition Years: Anthology of American Folk Songs (2006) more music like this by Barbara Dane Although Barbara Dane is chiefly thought of these days as a blues singer (she even recorded an album with Lightnin' Hopkins, 1964's Sometimes I Believe She Loves Me, where she more than holds her own with the Texas bluesman), she came to the blues through the folk door, and this wonderful set, recorded in 1959 at the Ash Grove in Los Angeles, ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!

11 view cover	Anthology of American Folk Songs (1997) more music like this by Barbara Dane Barbara Dane presented 15 traditional songs on this acoustic outing, accompanied by her guitar and by Tom Paley of the New Lost City Ramblers on guitar and banjo. Dane sings in a low, rich voice on this stark but effective collection, and it's easy to hear how she might have been an influence on, or at least an ancestor of, 1960s bluesy white folk ... see all copies from $8.05! new only from $8.05!
12 view cover	Folk Scene, U.S.A. (1960) more music like this by The Cumberland Three The debut album by the Cumberland Three was also an attempt by Morris Levy's Roulette Records to get in on a piece of the folk-music action spurred by the success of the Kingston Trio. The album compares very favorably with the work of the Kingston Trio -- no less a figure than the latter group's co-founder, Dave Guard (who was to be succeeded by ... see all copies from $15.69! new only from $15.69!
