1	The Singable Songs Collection (1997) more music like this by Raffi This three-disc set reissued by Rounder Records in 1997 takes children's singer Raffi's first three (and arguably best) albums, Singable Songs for the Very Young, More Singable Songs, and The Corner Grocery Store and More Singable Songs, and packages them all together. The Singable Songs Collections goes through all types of songs -- from ... see all copies from $23.31! new only from $23.31!
2	Corner Grocery Store and Other Singable Songs (1979) more music like this by Raffi Raffi is something of an heir to the children's music of such folkies as Pete Seeger and the Babysitters. In Corner Grocery Store and Other Singable Songs, he is especially interested in adapting some familiar folksongs -- "Pick a Bale o' Cotton," "Goodnight Irene" -- as children's songs, along with such traditional material as "Frère Jacques." He ... see all copies from $6.88! new only from $13.71!
3	Sings for Children (1999) more music like this by Leadbelly A dozen of these 28 songs were first issued on the 1960 Folkways album Negro Folk Songs for Young People. But this is not so much a CD expansion of that album as a lengthy compilation of children-friendly performances from the 1940s that uses Negro Folk Songs for Young People as its core. The additional tracks were recorded by Moe Asch of Folkways ... see all copies from $13.75! new only from $14.95!
4	Midnight Special [Prism] (1998) more music like this by Leadbelly see all copies from $15.00!
5	Shout On: Lead Belly Legacy, Vol. 3 (1998) more music like this by Leadbelly Although the original Leadbelly LP bearing this name (Folkways 31030) was drawn from October 1948 sessions, the CD reissue adds 17 tracks, some recorded as early as 1941, and so should be now considered an anthology of 1940s work. This does not rate among the best Leadbelly collections: due to illness, his guitar skills had diminished by the 1948 ... see all copies from $7.89! new only from $15.28!
6	The Definitive Leadbelly (2002) more music like this by Leadbelly Although he has often been labeled a blues artist, Leadbelly had a much wider palette than that, and routinely sang spirituals, work songs, folk ballads, and children's pieces, and he had an amazing affinity for material that would later find its way into the pop world. Songs like "Goodnight Irene," "Midnight Special," "Gallows Pole," "Rock Island ... see all copies from $53.36! new only from $53.36!
7	Where Did You Sleep Last Night: Lead Belly Legacy, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Leadbelly The bulk of the best performances by Leadbelly -- whose influence on the folk revival of the 1950s and '60s cannot be overstated -- were recorded during the 1940s for Folkways Records founder Moses Asch. Inferior copies and rerecordings of these tunes have appeared over the years, but the original masters have sat in the vaults of Folkways. The ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
8	Complete Recorded Works: 1939-1947 In Chronological Order, Vol. 6: 1947 (2000) more music like this by Leadbelly see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
9	Easy Rider Blues (2003) more music like this by Leadbelly The sound on this 16-track Leadbelly collection is clear and uncluttered, and it sounds like a live concert recording, or perhaps a live-in-the-studio radio recording, or maybe even several Alan Lomax tracks from the early- to mid-1940s run through VAP (Virtual Ambience Processing). At any rate, the sound is great, and the versions of "Irene," ... see all copies from $5.17! new only from $5.17!
10	When the Sun Goes Down, Vol. 5: Take This Hammer (2003) more music like this by Leadbelly The fifth issue in Bluebird's Secret History of Rock & Roll project is the first by a single artist; the previous four have all been various-artists compilations. All feature excellent sound and decent if not exceptional packaging. This set, the complete RCA Victor recordings of Leadbelly, is up to that standard. All of the 26 tracks here were ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
