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 $8.00! new only from $12.33!
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 $9.13! new only from $9.13!

5	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 $5.25!

7	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 $10.41! new only from $10.41!
8	Remembering Merle (1992) more music like this by Doc & Merle Watson Remembering Merle is an affectionate tribute to Doc Watson's deceased son, featuring several songs -- which were all recorded live between 1970 and 1976 -- that showcased his work. Doc and Merle touch on a number of different genres, from folk and blue to rockabilly, all the while demonstrating the younger Watson's considerable talent. Thom ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $14.47!
9	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.

11	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 $25.04! new only from $25.04!

14 view cover	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.

15 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 $20.00!
16 view cover	At the Golden Nugget (1961) more music like this by Hank Thompson At the Golden Nugget was not only the first live album ever recorded for commercial release by a single country artist, but is arguably Hank Thompson's best album, representing his amalgam of honky tonk and Western swing better than any other long-player in his history. Most country artists of his generation responded better to the enthusiasm of ... see all copies from $23.96! new only from $23.96!

18 view cover	Tombstone Every Mile [Sundazed] (2004) more music like this by Dick Curless When Dick Curless' truck-driving hit "Tombstone Every Mile" became a national hit in 1965, few knew that the singer was from Maine and had been banging around on small regional labels for the previous 15 years.

20 view cover	Earl Scruggs: His Family and Friends/Nashville Airplane (2000) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs One of Earl Scruggs' best solo albums paired with one of the duo's late LPs, on which Scruggs was the dominant personality. On Nashville Airplane, he an Lester Flatt did four Bob Dylan songs, and on Earl Scruggs: His Family & Friends he worked with Dylan himself, as well as the Byrds, Joan Baez, and Doc Watson. Neither album was ever on CD by ... see all copies from $8.70! new only from $8.70!
21 view cover	Classic Bluegrass Collection (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Although most people think of bluegrass as an old form of Southern mountain music, it's actually a fairly recent creation, gaining its shape at the same time as rock & roll in the late '40s and early '50s and making use of the same technology (portable microphones and electric amplification) as rock & roll did to catch on and spread. The new ... see all copies from $34.02! new only from $34.02!

Much of this music ranks among the duo ... see all copies from $86.95! new only from $86.95!
24 view cover	Steel Rails: Classic Railroad Songs, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists As long as railroads have existed, there have been songs sung about them, whether to praise their wonders, tell stories, or condemn them as tools of evil. Steel Rails and its companion volume, Mystery Train, set out to sample this particular vein of American song, offering up versions of "Wabash Cannonball" and "The Orange Blossom Special" (an ... see all copies from $14.40! new only from $14.40!
25 view cover	Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 4 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The Harry Smith-compiled three-volume Anthology of American Folk Music set, originally released in the 1950s and reissued to much brouhaha in 1997, was one of the most important records in launching the folk revival.
