1	Woody Guthrie Sings Folk Songs (1962) more music like this by Woody Guthrie In April 1944, 31-year-old Woody Guthrie discovered a recording outlet when he hooked up with record company owner Moses Asch, who agreed to let him cut a virtually unlimited number of masters informally. Guthrie simply would turn up at Asch's studios alone or with such friends as Cisco Houston, Sonny Terry, Leadbelly, and Bess Lomax Hawes, and ... see all copies from $10.49! new only from $14.72!
2	The Essential Doc Watson (1973) more music like this by Doc Watson It's a measure of how succinct Doc Watson's interpretations of traditional music are that this 26-song collection is one of the few Vanguard double-LP compilations to make it onto CD completely intact, with no songs eliminated, and it still clocks in at under 70 minutes. It's also one of the better sounding of the Welk Music Group's mid-'80s CD ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.18!
3	Vanguard Years (1995) more music like this by Doc Watson Four-CD, 64-song collection drawn principally from Doc's Vanguard releases of the 1960s and early 1970s (tapped his solo LPs and performances at the 1963 and 1964 Newport Folk Festival). This was Doc's best period recording-wise, and certainly you couldn't hope for a better document of his virtuosity, as the guitarist covers all manner of American ... see all copies from $35.13! new only from $35.13!
4	The Best of Doc Watson: 1964-1968 (1999) more music like this by Doc Watson Boasting 23 tracks (three unreleased) culled from six of Watson's classic Vanguard albums, The Best of Doc Watson 1964-1968 is a great summing up of the music he made during that period and a perfect testament to his standing as a true American musical treasure. Showcasing the amazing depth of ability that Watson has made his trademark, this ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
5	Popular Songbook (2003) more music like this by The Alan Lomax Collection Since Alan Lomax spent his life traveling American and European backroads in search of genuine folk songs, it's difficult to think of his name in conjunction with popular music. Popular Songbook, though, asks the listener to do just that, and the collection's reasoning for doing so is a sound one. A number of songs Lomax gathered on his collecting ... see all copies from $12.07! new only from $12.07!
6	The Tradition Masters (2002) more music like this by Leadbelly Along with Woody Guthrie, Huddie Leadbetter modernized folk music, laying down a sturdy foundation for the folk revival that would blossom in the late '50s and early '60s. And even if one has never heard of Leadbelly, he or she's probably heard the Animals' version of "House of the Rising Sun" or Nirvana's take on "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." ... see all copies from $10.18! new only from $11.09!
7	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by Doc Watson Founded in 1950 by brothers Seymour Solomon and Maynard Solomon just as the LP format was taking hold (it had been introduced to the market two years previously), Vanguard Records took full advantage of the longer playing time afforded and began life as a classical label, moving easily into jazz, then gospel, bluegrass, blues, and folk (as Joan ... see all copies from $10.11! new only from $10.11!
8	Doc Watson & Son (1965) more music like this by Doc Watson & Son Merle Watson's debut with father Doc Watson was recorded shortly after they performed their first concerts together in California, and it shows the duo's musical partnership already in full flower, an incredible fact considering that Merle had only been picking guitar for eight months! The best songs here turned up on later Vanguard best-ofs, but ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
9	Complete Recordings (1995) more music like this by Darby & Tarlton Let's start by saying that there aren't any other collections of Darby and Tarlton's work currently available, so if you want any of it, you've got to take it all. Having said that, one should add that there isn't a bad song among the 70 surviving tracks (among 84 recorded) included on these three CDs, and anyone who enjoys white country-blues ... see all copies from $81.83! new only from $81.83!
10	Blues Had a Baby: And Its Name Was Rock & Roll (2003) more music like this by Various Artists This Rykodisc release features blues and folk artists who recorded at one time or another on the Tradition label doing versions of traditional songs that subsequently became pop hits in the hands of rock & roll musicians. What this collection proves more than anything else is the mutability of a good tune, and the ability of rock & roll to sponge ... see all copies from $7.36! new only from $7.36!
11 view cover	Complete Recorded Works (1926-1928) (1994) more music like this by Luella Miller Even among the ranks of marginalized old-time blues singers, Luella Miller is singularly obscure and sadly underrated. Conventionally assessed as an unimaginative moaner who tended to sing the same redundant blues melody over and over again, this woman has been an easy target for persnickety music critics and deserves to be reevaluated. Trying to ... see all copies from $6.88! new only from $6.88!
12 view cover	Ruckus Juice & Chitlins, Vol. 2: The Great Jug Bands (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The second volume in Shanachie's two-volume series on traditional jug-band music of the 1920s and '30s, like the first, contains classic performances and several previously unreleased cuts. John Bush, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
13 view cover	Friends of Old Time Music: The Folk Arrival (2006) more music like this by Various Artists At the height of the folk revival in the early '60s, three movers and shakers -- Ralph Rinzler (a member of the Greenbriar Boys folk group), John Cohen (of the New Lost City Ramblers) and Israel "Izzy" Young (owner of the Folklore Center in Greenwich Village) -- presented a number of traditional folk concerts in New York City under the umbrella of ... see all copies from $39.33! new only from $39.33!
14 view cover	King Guitar (2001) more music like this by Michael Messer There's something fun and catchy about Michael Messer's eclectic album, King Guitar. Although the guitar featured on the cover is a vintage acoustic model, the music runs the gauntlet between down-and-dirty electric blues and quiet Delta slide. In a way, this mixture is sort of like an early Fleetwood Mac, with Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer ... see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
15 view cover	Darby & Tarlton [JSP Box Set] (2005) more music like this by Darby & Tarlton By all accounts Tom Darby and Jimmie Tarlton were an acrimonious duo, thrown together more by opportunity than any pressing desire to play music together, but in spite of the tension between them (or maybe because of it), the body of work they recorded together for Columbia Records between 1927 and 1933 is as singular and distinctive as any in ... see all copies from $27.69! new only from $27.69!
16 view cover	Brave Wolf (1994) more music like this by Lesley Schatz see all copies from $16.33! new only from $16.33!
17 view cover	From the Delta to the Piedmont (2005) by Muddyharp see all copies from $23.78!
18 view cover	Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport 1926-1938 (2000) more music like this by Charles Cow Cow Davenport The material ranges from magnificent Cow Cow Davenport solo tunes to good and not-so-good duets with a host of performers. Ivy Smith and Dora Carr are the artists with whom Davenport works best. Since these were dubbed from 78s, don't expect pristine sound. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.37! new only from $10.37!
19 view cover	Complete Works, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by Peetie The Devil's Son-In-Law Wheatstraw see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
20 view cover	Complete Recorded Works 1927-1930 (1994) more music like this by Ivy Smith Virtually nothing is known about blues singer Ivy Smith. She recorded with Cow Cow Davenport (not only on her own sessions but guesting on some of his selections) and was in an unsuccessful road show organized by the pianist-singer called "The Cow Cow Steppers". Otherwise she is lost to history. All 20 titles issued under her own name are on this ... see all copies from $19.58! new only from $19.58!
21 view cover	Richer Tradition: Country Blues and String Band Music 1923-1942 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists The 1920s is perhaps the only time when we hear what America was actually singing of its own accord, and since record companies at the time had little idea what might actually sell, they went out and recorded seemingly anyone and everyone who had a tune in their head. This, coupled with an increasingly awareness of the black record buying market, ... see all copies from $26.81! new only from $26.81!
22 view cover	The Devil's Son-In-Law [P-Vine] (2002) more music like this by Peetie Wheatstraw William Bunch recognized way back in the 1920s that creating a bad-ass persona would do wonders for record sales, and drawing on a shady character from black folklore, re-christened himself as Peetie Wheatstraw, claiming (long before Robert Johnson thought of it) that he had sold his soul to the devil down at the proverbial crossroads in exchange ... see all copies from $50.00!
23 view cover	Legendary Woody Guthrie (2002) more music like this by Woody Guthrie see all copies from $14.27! new only from $14.27!
