1	The Legend [Columbia] (2005) more music like this by Johnny Cash There have been in the neighborhood of ten CD box sets devoted to Johnny Cash, released on Columbia, Bear Family, and Collectables (this does not count overseas releases by Sony, or budget-line repackagings of three albums into one box set). Since 2000 there have been roughly 15 new major-label compilations, and that number balloons to nearly 90 ... see all copies from $20.88! new only from $34.13!
2	Sings for Children (1999) more music like this by Leadbelly A dozen of these 28 songs were first issued on the 1960 Folkways album Negro Folk Songs for Young People. But this is not so much a CD expansion of that album as a lengthy compilation of children-friendly performances from the 1940s that uses Negro Folk Songs for Young People as its core. The additional tracks were recorded by Moe Asch of Folkways ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $14.51!
3	Greatest Hits (1957) more music like this by The Weavers This is an excellent double-disc compilation of this group's more directly folk-related work from the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Note, however, that these are not the original Weavers recordings of their hits. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.99! new only from $17.26!
4	Family Dance (2002) more music like this by Dan Zanes & Friends see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
5	Where Did You Sleep Last Night: Lead Belly Legacy, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Leadbelly The bulk of the best performances by Leadbelly -- whose influence on the folk revival of the 1950s and '60s cannot be overstated -- were recorded during the 1940s for Folkways Records founder Moses Asch. Inferior copies and rerecordings of these tunes have appeared over the years, but the original masters have sat in the vaults of Folkways. The ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
6	Legend (1995) more music like this by Johnny Horton A fine introduction to the singer's brief but illustrious career, The Johnny Horton Legend compiles the chart-topping hits "The Battle of New Orleans," "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)" and "North to Alaska" alongside seven other favorites. Hank Small, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.20! new only from $5.20!
7	Ring of Fire [Goldies] (1999) more music like this by Johnny Cash This rather huge box set contains live and radio broadcast recordings by the Man in Black. There are no less than 36 recordings here, and most sound great. That said, Goldies has never been big on documentation and would rather slop stuff out than worry about it. In fact, one has to wonder if these sides were even authorized and licensed or if ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.67!
8	The Best of Mano Negra [Polygram International] (1998) more music like this by Mano Negra see all copies from $7.87! new only from $12.61!
9	Bandwagon (2004) more music like this by Eleven Hundred Springs see all copies from $7.45! new only from $11.14!
10	Golden Oldies more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $42.99! new only from $42.99!
11 view cover	Remembering Leadbelly (2001) more music like this by Long John Baldry Long John Baldry came of age as a singer during the British blues boom, and it's obvious that his love of the music hasn't left him. As he explains in the interview track at the end, Leadbelly was his first musical inspiration, and here he has his chance to pay homage to the man. In his sixties at the time of this recording, Baldry's voice has ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $14.56!
12 view cover	The Tarriers (2001) more music like this by The Tarriers The Tarriers released their self-titled debut in 1957, one year before the folk revival exploded. Ironically, there's even a recording of "Tom Dooley" on The Tarriers, the song that made the Kingston Trio folk superstars. The group did have a hit with "The Banana Boat Song" -- the first to do so -- but Harry Belafonte's version, "Day-O," became ... see all copies from $10.47! new only from $14.74!
13 view cover	Poor Little Critter on the Road (1985) more music like this by The Knitters Before MTV created Unplugged, X released a shrewd blend of country, traditional and original songs, as the Knitters, minus Billy Zoom plus Johnny Ray Bartel and Dave Alvin. No longer struggling to incorporate their love of roots musics into their own hard rock sound, X gave over to the acoustic project Poor Little Critter on the Road with songs ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $13.09!
14 view cover	Hard to Find Jukebox Classics 1956 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.74! new only from $13.74!
15 view cover	The Very Best of Stan Freberg (1998) more music like this by Stan Freberg Combining Tom Lehrer with Spike Jones (would that make Tom Jones?) and Nichols and May with Joe Friday (a May weekend perhaps?), musical comedian Stan Freberg skewers everyone from Walt Disney to Cole Porter. Mumbling through "Sh-Boom," Freberg drags "The Great Pretender" snarling to "The Heartbreak Hotel," snares "The Yellow Rose of Texas," and ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
16 view cover	Best of the Vanguard Years (2001) more music like this by The Weavers The Weavers' stint at Vanguard, it should be noted, took place after they had their big pop hits in the early 1950s. That might be construed as either an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your perspective. These are not the biggest-selling original versions of the staples of their repertoire, but they also feature only the group and their ... see all copies from $11.08! new only from $11.08!
17 view cover	The Complete Sun Recordings 1955-1958 (2005) more music like this by Johnny Cash Johnny Cash's classic recordings for Sun have been reissued many times, and they have been issued in complete form before, most notably in Bear Family's exhaustive five-disc 1990 box set, The Man in Black: 1954-1958. Because of this glut of product, it's easy to look at Time-Life's 2005 three-disc set, The Complete Sun Recordings 1955-1958, and ... see all copies from $29.10! new only from $34.02!
18 view cover	Important Recordings 1934-1949 (2006) more music like this by Leadbelly see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
19 view cover	Good Time a Good Time (1997) more music like this by Linda Tillery & Cultural Heritage see all copies from $3.00!
20 view cover	Wasn't That a Time?: The Best of the Weavers (2004) more music like this by The Weavers see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
21 view cover	Forever Johnny Cash (2006) more music like this by Johnny Cash Here we go. For a change, Madacy does it right and pops the Johnny Cash Sun material -- 40 tracks' worth -- into a three-disc box set (yes, it could have fit on two) and lets the punters have at it. The single advantage, perhaps, of purchasing this set over the Columbia one is simply price. The Legacy set has more documentation, and looks better, ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
22 view cover	The Tip of the Freberg: The Stan Freberg Collection 1951-1998 (1999) more music like this by Stan Freberg Tip of the Freberg: The Stan Freberg Collection 1951-1998 is a massive four-CD set, not only including oodles of material from all facets of Stan Freberg's recorded work (largely from the '50s and '60s, although it goes all the way up to the late '90s), but there's also a 20-minute video with his humorous television commercials. The first disc is ... see all copies from $52.00!
23 view cover	Best of the Land of Nod Store Music, Vol. 2 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.54! new only from $10.54!
24 view cover	The Folk Den Project (2005) by Roger McGuinn Roger McGuinn began his career as a folksinger/guitarist and he has never lost his love of the music. In 1995, he launched the Folk Den project on his website, making free downloads available of folk songs he recorded, along with lyrics and a little background on each number and what was special about it to him. He decided to re-record them in ... see all copies from $47.17! new only from $54.45!
25 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!
