1	Will the Circle Be Unbroken (1972) more music like this by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band With all due respect to the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, it took the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with this album to come up with a merger of rock and country music that worked for both sides and everyone involved. The opening number, "The Grand Ole Opry Song," set the tone for the album, showing that this band -- for all of their origins in ... see all copies from $3.21! new only from $7.00!
2	Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Like many Rhino compilations, this is geared more to the novice or the casual fan than the aficionado, but that's not a criticism. If someone wants a basic primer of the bluegrass sound past and present that manages to be accessible and avoid unduly clichéd track selection, this 18-song compilation fits the bill well. Most of the biggest names are ... see all copies from $7.07! new only from $10.76!
3	Will the Circle Be Unbroken: The Trilogy (2003) more music like this by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band In 1972, long before O Brother, Where Art Thou? allowed hipsters and intermittent record buyers through the great oak doors of traditional country music, California's Nitty Gritty Dirt Band gathered legends and soon to become legends of country music into a Nashville studio and made the sprawling Will the Circle Be Unbroken. The success of this ... see all copies from $41.14! new only from $41.14!
4	Greatest Hits (1962) more music like this by The Brothers Four A decent 12-song compilation of the group's singles, several of which, including "My Tani" and "Frogg," were never on their individual albums. The mix of tempos and sources encompasses everything from the two moody singles "Greenfields" and "The Green Leaves of Summer" to playful songs such as "Frogg," gospel material ("Nobody Knows"), and robust, ... see all copies from $2.60! new only from $5.11!
5	Manzanita (1979) more music like this by Tony Rice Unit Comprised of both traditional songs and contemporary numbers, Manzanita was the third record in a row to demonstrate Tony Rice's considerable instrumental talent, and on this album he is backed by a band featuring Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs, and Jerry Douglas, who give him incredibly sympathetic and nuanced support. Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
6	31 Banjo Favorites, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Raymond Fairchild see all copies from $6.35! new only from $8.16!
7	Cool Down (1996) more music like this by Cephas & Wiggins Cool Down is the first album the acoustic blues duo Cephas & Wiggins recorded for Alligator Records, and it ranks among their best. The spirit of the session is laid-back and eclectic, as the pair draws on everyone from Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Boy Fuller to Fats Domino and Merle Travis. There are also a half-dozen originals that might not ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $15.70!
8	The Music of Bill Monroe (1994) more music like this by Bill Monroe A four-disc set covering Bill Monroe's entire career from 1936 to 1994, this is a meticulously remastered and researched four-hours-and-20 minutes of music and features important recordings from seven decades of them from RCA, Columbia, Decca and MCA. It's an exceptional box set, put together with great care and knowledge, and it's essential for ... see all copies from $38.76! new only from $38.76!
9	Been All Around This World (2004) more music like this by Jerry Garcia & David Grisman Jerry Garcia and David Grisman enjoyed getting together in Grisman's studio to record informally for their friends, with the mandolinist wisely choosing to share their best efforts with the public by releasing a series of CDs following Garcia's death. With various members of Grisman's quintet and a couple of other musicians as well, the two old ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
10	Live! (2000) more music like this by The Beau Brummels This is a very alluring and also a somewhat misleading CD. On the plus side, just to dispel any doubts, it is live, and it does feature the five-man Beau Brummels (Sal Valentino, Ron Elliott, Ron Meagher, Dec Mulligan, and John Petersen). And this is a good, professional recording. The rub is that it does date from their reunion in 1974, appearing ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
11 view cover	American Roots: A History of American Folk Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Dutch discount reissue label Disky's four-CD box set American Roots: A History of American Folk Music is an ambitious undertaking, at least as far as sheer length is concerned. In other respects, it can be considered skimpy: the packaging is negligible; there are no annotations beyond song titles, artist and songwriter credits, and copyright dates ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $77.77!
12 view cover	Not Too Far from the Tree (2006) more music like this by Bryan Sutton see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
13 view cover	Home Is Where the Heart Is (1988) more music like this by David Grisman A more traditional country and bluegrass album than his "dawg" sessions, Rounder issued this Grisman session in 1988. He's playing with J.D. Crowe, Ricky Skaggs, and Doc Watson, among others. There's little jazz here, but there are some superb bluegrass, country, and folk selections, plus marvelous playing. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $21.25! new only from $21.25!
14 view cover	All the Classic Releases 1937-1949 (2003) more music like this by Bill Monroe Another great JSP boxed set of archival music at a budget price, All the Classic Releases 1937-1949 collects a great selection of Bill Monroe's recordings both with his Bluegrass Boys and with his brother Charlie as the Monroe Brothers. The extensive (though not really informative) liner notes don't really shed any light as to whether these are ... see all copies from $24.41! new only from $24.41!
15 view cover	Merle Travis Story -- 24 Greatest Hits (1989) more music like this by Merle Travis Although The Merle Travis Story -- 24 Greatest Hits consists of re-recordings from the late '70s, it gives a better sense of why Travis was important than Rhino's The Best of Merle Travis. Unlike Rhino's set, CMH concentrates on Travis' guitar playing, which is why he was an important musician. Therefore, it gives a far better sense of why the ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $13.03!
16 view cover	Blood, Sweat and Tears (1963) more music like this by Johnny Cash Where Ride This Train was about railroads and how they shaped America, Blood, Sweat and Tears is not only about the folklore of trains, it's about the fables of the American working man. That means there are classic ballads like "Casey Jones" and "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer," but also relatively recent blues like "Busted," the field song ... see all copies from $2.60! new only from $5.11!
17 view cover	Rally Round/Roamin with the Brothers Four (2006) more music like this by The Brothers Four This two-fer from Collectors' Choice Music features the Brothers Four's second record -- 1960s Rally Round the Brothers Four -- and their third -- 1961's Roamin' with the Brothers Four. Despite the inclusion of folk revival favorites like "Nine Pound Hammer," "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd," "My Tani," and "Blue Water Line," these are not two of the ... see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
18 view cover	33 Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals (2000) more music like this by Clarence White Clarence White's guitar playing was captured on a number of albums and in a variety of styles between the mid-'60s and his early death in 1973. Still, one cannot help but listen to the Kentucky Colonels Appalachian Swing! and want to hear more of White's fine acoustic work. Now, on 33 Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals, one can. These recordings were ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.12!
19 view cover	The Father of Bluegrass [Aim] (2001) more music like this by Bill Monroe see all copies from $9.53! new only from $9.53!
20 view cover	The Fool (1983) more music like this by Sanford Clark Lee Hazlewood transformed Duane Eddy and Nancy Sinatra into major stars, but was unable to work the same magic with Sanford Clark, an Arizona rockabilly whose mellow vocal style anticipated the sound of Ricky Nelson. Clark's one big hit, "The Fool," marries guitarist Al Casey's cribbed blues lick to a Hazlewood song that, stylistically, is halfway ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $20.94!
21 view cover	50 Years of Bluegrass Hits, Vol. 3 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists CHM raids its vaults yet again, drawing on tried and true bluegrass classics by the likes of Lester Flatt, Mac Wiseman, Grandpa Jones, and the Stonemans. There's nothing here that bluegrass aficionados haven't heard before or have elsewhere, but with over an hour's worth of music and solid musicianship all the way through, 50 Years of Bluegrass ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $13.03!
22 view cover	Essential Collection (2003) more music like this by Bill Monroe see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
23 view cover	24 Old-Timey Favorites (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Released to capitalize on the success of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, 24 Old-Timey Favorites begins appropriately enough with a rendition of "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow" by Don Reno and Bill Harrell with The Tennessee Cut-Ups. The program encompasses bluegrass, fiddle tunes and old-timey country, with an emphasis on traditional ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $8.51!
24 view cover	Long Journey Home (1961) more music like this by The Stanley Brothers In the early 1960s, when the Stanley Brothers were between record labels, they spent a week playing at Johnny's Used Cars near Baltimore. Johnny Wilbanks loved bluegrass music and used it as a sales device, paying bands to play in his lot and sponsoring a radio show that broadcast from his office. He also ran the small Wango label, for which the ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
25 view cover	Appalachian Swing! (1964) more music like this by The Kentucky Colonels Appalachian Swing! is one of the most influential albums in the whole of bluegrass music, primarily because of the stunning playing of Clarence White. With his vibrant, innovative flat-picking, White helped pioneer a new style in bluegrass; namely, he redefined the acoustic guitar as a solo instrument instead of confining it to just background ... see all copies from $9.79! new only from $70.21!
