The High Lonesome Sound (1998) more music like this

by Roscoe Holcomb

Twenty-one tracks from his Folkways album, including his accomplished, somber renditions of standards such as "House of the Rising Sun," "Moonshiner," "Trouble in Mind," and "Motherless Children." Holcomb is a big favorite among musicians and folklorists -- Bob Dylan, for one, is a big fan -- yet it must be said that this is probably too ...

The Essential Ramblin' Jack Elliott (1970) more music like this

by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Elliott was the complete folksinger of the 60s, singing and yodeling traditional material derived from folk, country, and blues sources and (especially) carrying on the tradition of Woody Guthrie. This two-pocket set, some of which is taken from a 1965 concert, provides a representative sampling of his repertoire and style. William Ruhlmann, All ...

Vanguard: Roots of Folk (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Vanguard was one of the leading folk labels of the 1960s, due both to its own studio releases and its anthologies of performances from the Newport Folk Festivals. This is a three-CD set of Vanguard material from that era, encompassing live and studio tracks by many of the major icons of the time. The list is pretty amazing, in fact: the Weavers, ...

Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this

by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

It might be tempting to look at Ramblin' Jack Elliott as a folksinger from a bygone era except for a couple of things. First, he's still with us around the turn of the millennium, and still recording vital material such as 1999's The Long Ride; next, even his older material never strikes the listener as out-of-date. In fact, his performances on ...

Plays the Classics (2002) more music like this

by Raymond Fairchild

When banjoist Raymond Fairchild burst upon the folk revival scene in the early '60s, he was hailed as the real deal. His picking borrowed from Earl Scruggs and others, but he had also carved out a distinct style that combined the three-finger method with single note runs. Plays the Classics was compiled from two albums that Fairchild recorded in ...

Railroad Songs & Ballads (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Once I recorded my great-grandmother relating the "Tale of Sam McGhee" with explanations and observations. Work chants, train calls, history and onomatopoeia are captured in this collection made by various archivers from 1936 to 1959. I also remember a line of fiction somewhere remarking on a railroad bridge. A train was always going over it, but ...

Opry Old Timers (1962) more music like this

by Sam With Kirk McGee & the Crook Brothers

The Starday label puts together two groups that revolve around "brother" duets for an album that is certainly enjoyable, if a bit confusing in presentation. The song credits would make it seem that this is a sort of split disc, in which the tracks alternate between Sam and Kirk McGee and the Crook Brothers, and, to the extent of who is handling ...
