1	Walk Between the Raindrops (1998) more music like this by James McMurtry Somewhere between "Desolation Row," "The Heart of Saturday Night," and The Last Picture Show, there are places and events that James McMurtry writes about. Vocally, he is seldom surprising, but always dependable. Sliding effortlessly from first- to third-person narrative, McMurtry presents great material, including maybe the definitive gettin' ... see all copies from $9.96! new only from $15.40!
2	The Dark (2002) more music like this by Guy Clark Clark's easygoing, front-porch delivery benefits from the intimate setting provided throughout The Dark. With plenty of space around the instruments and no production clutter in the way, the essence of each song conveys clearly as well. Surprises are few, and perhaps the least-surprising aspect of this set is that it is as well-crafted as one has ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
3	Live in Aught-Three (2004) more music like this by James McMurtry & the Heartless Bastards James McMurtry's written plenty of great songs, but he's never made a great album. His character sketches and stories have always rung true, and he's as perceptive a chronicler of the disaffected and alienated as you'll find, but his limited vocal range and sometimes almost-indifferent delivery have made even his best discs, Too Long in the ... see all copies from $7.85! new only from $7.85!
4	A Retrospective: 1995-2000 (2005) more music like this by Son Volt The seminal alt-country band Uncle Tupelo seemed poised on the verge of a major commercial breakthrough in 1994 when, to the surprise of many (including his bandmates), Jay Farrar quit the band to form Son Volt, in which he wouldn't have to share his creative vision with another songwriter. Son Volt's first album, 1995's Trace, was a beautiful and ... see all copies from $6.38! new only from $6.38!
5	Rear View Mirror (1997) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt In 1990, Townes Van Zandt was working on a three-CD retrospective for which he was re-recording much of his repertoire. That album never appeared, but in 1993, the tiny Austin-based Sundown label released Rear View Mirror, a 17-track album running nearly 58 minutes and containing newly recorded versions of Van Zandt songs dating back to 1968. ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $5.99!
6	Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas (1977) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt see all copies from $18.01! new only from $18.01!
7	A Far Cry from Dead (1999) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt Called the greatest songwriter ever by Nashville rebel Steve Earle, A Far Cry from Dead is a collection of the sharp, insightful writing that led Earle to make such a bold claim about Townes Van Zandt. Included are the songs that became hits for others, such as "Pancho & Lefty" (which Willie Nelson made into a 1983 hit), as well as the material ... see all copies from $5.39! new only from $5.39!
8	Roses (1991) more music like this by David Olney Rhode Island-born but now a Nashville-based writer, David Olney is well respected for his fine-tuned lyrics. Richard Meyer, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.99! new only from $10.56!
9	Wandering Stranger (2004) more music like this by Entrance One can only be grateful that the Delta blues has experienced yet another mutation since the dawn of the new millennium. In the 1990s, acts like the Flat Duo Jets, the Blues Explosion, 20 Miles, and a host of others used the Delta tradition in their brand of post-punk blues. But in the new century, bands like the Black Keys, Immortal Lee County ... see all copies from $8.32! new only from $13.15!
10	Red Hot + Bothered: The Indie Rock Guide Book to Dating (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Red Hot Organization goes indie in a most compelling fashion. Billed as the Indie Rock Guide to Dating , this compilation is every bit as geeky cool as it purports to be. Though not every artist here is the cream of the crop, enough Grade A contributions make the endeavor more than a bit successful. Highlights include "Sensational Gravity Boy ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
11	Just an American Boy (2003) more music like this by Steve Earle Steve Earle subtitled his 2003 live album Just an American Boy an "Audio Documentary," which may be a bit more grand than it deserves, though in all fairness an awful lot had happened with Earle in the 12 years since his last live album, Shut Up and Die Like an Aviator (recorded shortly before Earle's drug habit bottomed out both his career and ... see all copies from $22.08! new only from $22.08!
12 view cover	Friends of Mine (1998) more music like this by Ramblin' Jack Elliott Ramblin' Jack Elliott's first album for Hightone, Friends of Mine, is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of duets (and one trio) produced by Roy Rogers. There's a loose, intimate atmosphere on Friends of Mine that is instantly appealing, and his selection of singing partners -- Emmylou Harris and Nanci Griffith, Peter Rowan, Tom Waits, John Prine, ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.14!
13 view cover	In Pain (2000) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt Culled from the same European tour dates as Abnormal and The Highway Kind, this set of minimal live performances features a number of true Van Zandt classics, including "Snowin' on Raton," "To Live's to Fly," "Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold," and "You Are Not Needed Now." The man's in fairly decent voice, too, given how many of his later recordings ... see all copies from $11.80! new only from $11.80!
14 view cover	Flyin' Shoes [Fat Possum] (2007) more music like this by Townes VanZandt This is another strong collection from Townes Van Zandt, and not a dud in the bunch. The melodies here are strong, the lyrics full of Van Zandt's razor-sharp insight, and the production is sparse and to the point, bringing to mind the inconspicuous polish of High, Low and in Between. The feel here is a balance between folk and country, with Van ... see all copies from $10.86! new only from $10.86!
15 view cover	Be Here to Love Me [Fat Possum] (2007) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt Be Here to Love Me is the official soundtrack from a docmentary film by Margaret Brown about Townes Van Zandt. The music on these two discs is largely taken from Van Zandt's catalog on Tomato, but there are a couple of live cuts and alternate versions of previously released cuts contributed by his longtime manager Harold F. Eggers. These include ... see all copies from $11.54! new only from $11.54!
16 view cover	Flyin' Shoes [UK Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt This is another strong collection from Townes Van Zandt, and not a dud in the bunch. The melodies here are strong, the lyrics full of Van Zandt's razor sharp insight, and the production is sparse and to the point, bringing to mind the inconspicuous polish of High, Low and in Between. The feel here is a balance between folk and country, with Van ... see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!

That album never appeared, but in 1993, the tiny Austin-based Sundown label released Rear View Mirror, a 17-track album running nearly 58 minutes and containing newly recorded versions of Van Zandt songs dating back to 1968. ... see all copies from $10.48! new only from $10.48!
20 view cover	Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas [Fat Possum] (2008) more music like this by Townes Van Zandt Townes Van Zandt is better regarded as a songwriter than as a performer, and not without reason -- he was a peerless lyricist with a singular ability to capture the landscape of the heart and soul in words, but while he was a fine singer he wasn't exceptional, and the ravages of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs took a fearsome toll on his voice in his ... see all copies from $16.64! new only from $16.64!
21	Be Here to Love Me [Tomato] (2005) by Townes Van Zandt see all copies from $16.96! new only from $16.96!
