1	Who Knows Where the Time Goes (1968) more music like this by Judy Collins With a cast of instrumental all-stars, folk vocalist Judy Collins creates a mini-masterwork on Who Knows Where the Times Goes. Collins' strength as a storyteller and interpreter are at their forte throughout the disc. Likewise, she wanders upon the precipice of less traditional folk and more toward rock ("Hello Hooray") and even country/rock ( ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $8.02!
2	Clinch Mountain Country (1998) more music like this by Ralph Stanley & Friends The two-disc set Clinch Mountain Country is a treasure that amazes and inspires at every turn. Ralph Stanley is one of the true greats of American music. Kicking off with an all-time favorite, "How Mountain Girls Can Love," the set features Stanley's signature clawhammer banjo style and the distinctive mountain harmonies perfected by himself and ... see all copies from $22.84! new only from $22.84!
3	Mountain Music of Kentucky (1996) more music like this by Various Artists In 1959, John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers made field recordings in the mountains of Kentucky of Appalachian folk performers who were virtually unknown to the record-buying public. This is no-nonsense, sometimes raw stuff, with fiddlers, banjos, a cappella singers, and Baptist church choirs presenting folk standards, blues-influenced ... see all copies from $17.90! new only from $23.24!
4	Classic Old-Time Music (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The songs featured on Smithsonian/Folkways' Classic Old-Time Music were mostly recorded in the late '50s and early '60s (with a few scattered throughout the '70s) and celebrate many of the performers who not only toured the festival circuits at that time, but many who sowed the seeds of the entire folk revival. Old-timey legends like Dock Boggs, ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!

7	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 $34.02! new only from $34.02!
8	Can't You Hear Me Callin' - Bluegrass: 80 Years of American Music (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The title pretty much says it on this deluxe four-disc package from Sony's Legacy imprint. Here on four discs are 109 performances that cover the spectrum of American bluegrass, beginning with its pre-birth roots in Appalachian country string band music via the recordings of Gid Tanner, Charlie Poole & the Blue Ridge Ramblers, and the Carters in ... see all copies from $41.05! new only from $41.05!
9	Bill Frisell, Ron Carter, Paul Motian (2006) more music like this by Bill Frisell/Ron Carter/Paul Motian It's hard to imagine that Bill Frisell at 55 is the youngster of this group. But he is by a long shot. Not that it matters in terms of musicality; rather, it's that younger modernism and its involvement with different musical genres that make Frisell such a welcome foil for the likes of two heavyweights like Paul Motian and Ron Carter. To say that ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
10	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!
11 view cover	Treasury of Library of Congress Field Recordings (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Thirty Library of Congress field recordings from 1933 to 1946, compiled and thoroughly annotated by Stephen Wade. There are many Library of Congress collections, but the diversity of performances on this disc might make one of the better selections for someone who's interested enough in folkloric recordings to have just a few, as opposed to an ... see all copies from $15.61! new only from $15.61!
12 view cover	The Very Best of Ralph Stanley (2002) more music like this by Ralph Stanley The title of Audium's 2002 release, The Very Best of Ralph Stanley, is a little misleading, and while it is not a genre-spanning, all-encompassing collection of everything the godfather of bluegrass recorded, it does grab 16 very nice recordings from the early to mid-'70s, with one recording jumping out from the year 2000. Stanley's most ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
13 view cover	Cardiff Rose [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Roger McGuinn On the surface Roger McGuinn, the former leader and 12-string jangle-meister of the Byrds, and Mick Ronson, who contributed the wicked guitar crunch to David Bowie's "Spiders From Mars" period, might seem like a wildly unlikely musical combination, but the two became friendly when they both toured as part of Bob Dylan & the Rolling Thunder Revue, ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
14 view cover	1971-1973 (1995) more music like this by Ralph Stanley This four-CD set is a collection of the entire output of Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys during an astonishing three-year period in the early '70s. The albums collected here include the first appearance of Stanley's signature a cappella bluegrass-gospel, and feature the outstanding lead singing of the late Roy Lee Centers. The strong ... see all copies from $46.87! new only from $46.87!
15 view cover	Live!!! Almost!!! (1964) more music like this by The Dillards In the early 1960s, the Dillards were one of the first bluegrass acts to try to move the music out of the traditional confines of its Southern roots and into something closer to the mainstream, and Live!!! Almost!!!, recorded at an L.A. nightclub in 1964, plays like a clever and quite successful attempt to introduce bluegrass to the upscale folk ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
16 view cover	True Bluegrass Essentials (2006) more music like this by Various Artists True Bluegrass Essentials combines 20 traditional and progressive bluegrass musicians reinterpreting such chestnuts of the genre such as "John Hardy" (Tony Rice), "Sitting on Top of the World" (Lonesome River Band), "Rain and Snow" (Del McCoury), "Long Journey Home" (Lilly Brothers), "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" (Curly Seckler & the Nashville ... see all copies from $5.12! new only from $6.51!

18 view cover	Bound to Ride (1991) more music like this by Ralph Stanley This disc collects 20 recordings made in the early '70s by the legendary Ralph Stanley with his Clinch Mountain Boys, who included, at various times, Ricky Skaggs, Roy Lee Centers, and even the late John Duffey.

19 view cover	Precious Moments (1998) more music like this by The Sadies Give the Sadies credit for attempting something new and different -- their brand of insurgent country also draws heavily on diverse inspirations ranging from classic surf music to garage rave-ups to murder ballads to spaghetti western soundtracks. Recorded by Steve Albini, Precious Moments doesn't reinvent alt-country, but neither does it simply ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $12.54!

22 view cover	I'm Every Woman (2002) more music like this by Rory Block After listening to the opening track of I'm Every Woman, one might be inclined to expect 45 minutes of acoustic blues to follow. "Guitar Ditty" features no more than a girl and her guitar with a great big sound. It's quite surprising, then, when Rory Block cuts loose on the title cut, a pastiche of slide guitar, disco beat, and funky '70s ... see all copies from $14.48! new only from $14.48!
