1	Songcatcher (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to a film about a woman music scholar's travels in Appalachia is largely devoted to contemporary versions of traditional folk songs by an impressive roster of female vocalists. Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Maria McKee, Dolly Parton (dueting with Emmy Rossum), Gillian Welch, Iris DeMent, and Patty Loveless are the big names here, ... see all copies from $5.89! new only from $15.18!

3	Songcatcher II: The Tradition That Inspired the Movie (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The 2001 film Songcatcher told a semi-fictional story of a field musicologist who "discovers" authentic English and Scottish folk ballads being sung by people in the Appalachian region of the United States. The film (along with another popular film of the time) kindled interest in the old-timey music spotlighted in the movies, and due to popular ... see all copies from $15.18! new only from $15.18!
4	The Chad Mitchell Trio Arrives (1960) more music like this by Chad Mitchell Trio The Chad Mitchell Trio would subsequently do better work than what's represented on this album, but Trio Arrives was the first full-length (well, 28 minutes) release by the group, cut immediately after the trio's Carnegie Hall appearance with Harry Belafonte. Milt Okun and Henry Krasnow produced this recording, supposedly cut at a New York club ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.55!
5	The Doc Watson Family (1990) more music like this by Doc Watson Doc Watson, grandfather of the folk revival movement, has had a profound influence on American traditional music. Not only did he pioneer the playing of fiddle tunes on a flattop guitar, but through his incessant touring has brought traditional music to a larger audience. This Smithsonian Folkways release captures not only Doc Watson, but almost a ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
6	Evening Comes Early (2001) more music like this by John Doyle Evening Comes Early is the debut solo recording of gifted Irish folk guitarist, songwriter, and singer John Doyle, known from his time as a member of the popular Celtic group Solas. Doyle tested his musical wings long before Solas, though. Musical talent runs in his family, so he got an early introduction to performing. By the time he was in his ... see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
7	Maid of Constant Sorrow/Golden Apples of the Sun (2001) more music like this by Judy Collins This two-fer from Elektra features a pair of LPs by folksinger Judy Collins, Maid of Constant Sorrow and Golden Apples of the Sun, originally issued 1961 and 1962, respectively. Highlights among the 24 tracks include several traditional folk songs, such as "Wild Mountain Thyme," "Tell Me Who I'll Marry," "John Riley," and "Bonnie Ship the Diamond. ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
8	Blue Wheat (1996) more music like this by The Dale Warland Singers see all copies from $10.25! new only from $10.25!
9	Smithsonian Folkways American Roots Collection (1996) more music like this by var art This assemblage of blues, bluegrass, mountain ballads, topical songs, and jazz shows the wide range of American vernacular music, and Smithsonian Folkways' commitment to it. Among the many highlights here are Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson's ragged and yet sleek version of "The Coo Coo Bird," Doug Wallin's creaky and breathless a cappella version ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
10	Journey Home (2004) more music like this by Bill Staines Journey Home, Bill Staines' 24th record and first in four years, is a concept album, but the concept is one that needs explaining, especially to anyone who hasn't been following Staines through the five decades of his career. Listened to without that explanation, Journey Home comes off as a collection of traditional folk songs and covers of folk ... see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
11 view cover	Life of Sorrow (2003) more music like this by David Grisman David Grisman has never denied his roots in bluegrass, as it has always been an important ingredient in his self-described "Dawg Music." On this compilation, recorded over a three-decade stretch, the mandolin master sticks exclusively to bluegrass as he collaborates with a host of friends and influences interpreting various sorrow-laden melodies ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $10.14!
12 view cover	Maids and Golden Apples (2001) more music like this by Judy Collins Listening to Judy Collins forceful rendering of folk ballads, circa 1961, floods the memory with smoky coffee houses and campus "hoots." Collins sang at the Golden Vanity in Boston and Gerde's Folk City in New York, along side blues' men like Dave Van Ronk. It was at this latter club that Jac Holzman of Elektra records informed Collins that it was ... see all copies from $5.55! new only from $15.50!
13 view cover	ForeignLander (2004) more music like this by Lydia McCauley When you hear songs this beautiful being performed by a woman with this kind of obvious love and devotion for them, you naturally want to praise her. In Lydia McCauley's case, though, there's a problem: as a singer, she just doesn't seem to be up to the task. The problem isn't her voice per se -- her voice is warm and attractive, and she stays on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.31!
14 view cover	So Early in the Spring...The First 15 Years (1977) more music like this by Judy Collins This two-LP, 23-song set was the second Judy Collins compilation in five years and the third in under a decade. However, in contrast to the folk-oriented Recollections or Colors of the Day's focus on her best-known popular tracks from the late '60s, this was a more comprehensive retrospective covering all phases of her career. Unfortunately, it ... see all copies from $18.00!
15 view cover	Friend or Foe (2002) more music like this by Erica Smith see all copies from $2.05! new only from $2.05!
16 view cover	Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson at Folk City (1963) more music like this by Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson According to reissue annotator Joe Wilson, Doc Watson and Jean Ritchie had never heard of each other before they got together for a concert at Folk City in 1963, which says something about the 40-year-old Watson's obscurity at the time and about his limited knowledge of other performers, since 39-year-old Ritchie had been recording for more than a ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
17 view cover	Buckeyed Rabbit (2006) more music like this by Grassy Knoll Boys see all copies from $9.23! new only from $9.23!
18 view cover	Folk Roots, New Routes (1964) more music like this by Shirley Collins & Davey Graham This pairing of one of British folk's finest voices (Shirley Collins) with one of the country's finest acoustic guitarists (Davey Graham) had a notable influence on the U.K. folk scene, although it eluded wide acclaim at the time. Collins' rich, melancholy vocals were most likely an influence on Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior, and Jacqui McShee. Graham ... see all copies from $49.95!
19 view cover	A Ballad Singer's Choice (1956) more music like this by Ed McCurdy see all copies from $20.00!
20 view cover	Home Again! (1966) more music like this by Doc Watson Doc Watson's fourth Vanguard album, Home Again! is his most affecting folk-style record, with unexpectedly warm vocals matched to the quiet virtuosity of his playing. With only a couple of instrumentals on this 14-song collection, the rest features Watson performing lively, achingly beautiful renditions of popular folk standards ("Katie Morey," ... see all copies from $11.88! new only from $11.88!
21 view cover	Watson Family Tradition (1990) more music like this by Doc Watson & Family Doc Watson's playing is put into the context of his extended musical family on Tradition. Featuring several cuts with Gaither Carlton, who is Watson's father-in-law, the record features a wealth of old-timey music, filled with fiddles and flat-picked guitar. Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.37! new only from $15.37!
22 view cover	Just a Drifter (2000) more music like this by Chris Jones see all copies from $3.65! new only from $3.65!
23 view cover	The Covers (2008) more music like this by Shortstack see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.11!
24 view cover	Maid of Constant Sorrow (1961) more music like this by Judy Collins Judy Collins' debut LP shows her relying more on enthusiasm than subtlety in her singing, with a deeper, heavier style than anyone would be accustomed to from her. It's almost as though, lacking confidence, she tried too hard in various spots to make the songs (and her voice) sound profound and significant, and wasn't aware of what the strongest ... see all copies from $32.21!
