1	The Carter Family: 1927-1934 (2002) more music like this by The Carter Family Fans looking for more than ASV/Living Era's Wildwood Flower collection but scared off by Bear Family's massive 12-disc box could comfortably pick up this five-disc budget compilation. At 126 songs, it covers all of their RCA Victor recordings in chronological order, omitting only alternate takes.

4	When I Stop Dreaming: The Best of the Louvin Brothers (1995) more music like this by The Louvin Brothers In the 1950s, a time when Nashville was beginning to sand off the rough edges of country music and move in a more "modern" and pop-influenced direction, the Louvin Brothers were at once a breath of fresh air and a reminder of the music's Appalachian traditions. The close harmonies of Ira and Charlie Louvin reflected the influence of earlier family ... see all copies from $13.26! new only from $15.18!
5	Can the Circle Be Unbroken?: Country Music's First Family (2000) more music like this by The Original Carter Family The second half of the Carter Family's recorded output largely rests with the contents of this CD.

In typical Carter Family fashion, the material is wide ranging and eclectic, running from ... see all copies from $5.96! new only from $11.06!
6	Tragic Songs of Life/Satan Is Real (2007) more music like this by The Louvin Brothers If the Louvin Brothers weren't the greatest harmony duo in the history of country music, their serious rivals were few and far between, and their best recordings are among the most emotionally resonant in American roots music. The Louvin Brothers also had a talent for concept albums that was unusual among country acts in the '50s and early '60s, ... see all copies from $17.30! new only from $17.30!
