1	Greatest Hits (1993) more music like this by Tennessee Ernie Ford Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of some of Tennessee Ernie Ford's hits, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such hits as "Sixteen Tons," "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," "Mule Train," "Shot-Gun Boogie" and "The Rovin' Gambler." Stephen Thomas ... see all copies from $3.10! new only from $5.17!
2	Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Like many Rhino compilations, this is geared more to the novice or the casual fan than the aficionado, but that's not a criticism. If someone wants a basic primer of the bluegrass sound past and present that manages to be accessible and avoid unduly clichéd track selection, this 18-song compilation fits the bill well. Most of the biggest names are ... see all copies from $7.07! new only from $10.76!
3	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 ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
4	Songs Our Daddy Taught Us (1958) more music like this by The Everly Brothers The Everly Brothers had reached their commercial peak when they made this album of sparsely arranged traditional songs -- a concept that was quite a surprise from a top rock & roll act -- and considerably ahead of its time. But Songs Our Daddy Taught Us is actually not as enduring as their early rock and pop ballads, but the singing is superb on ... see all copies from $13.09! new only from $13.09!
5	Sings Like Hell (1993) more music like this by Peter Case After a tumultuous tenure with a giant label, Case took the time to regroup and reassess his roots on Sings Like Hell, a set of unaccompanied traditional and modern folk songs delivered in Case's forthright manner, completely in step with the trend toward mainstream rock reclaiming roots music. The perfect introduction to traditional American ... see all copies from $5.86! new only from $14.42!
6	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 ... see all copies from $15.23! new only from $15.23!
7	Country Songs Old & New (1960) more music like this by The Country Gentlemen Reissue of a landmark Folkways record from the 60s. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
8	The Walls of Time (1982) more music like this by Peter Rowan Walls of Time is a fine slice of traditional bluegrass and country, performed by several of the finest newgrass performers, including Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs, and the Rowan siblings. Though the album focuses on vocal material, not instrumental, it remains an enjoyable, heartfelt evocation of classic bluegrass by some of the very best progressive ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.09!
9	On the Trail Again (1992) more music like this by Frankie Laine On the Trail Again concentrates on Frankie Laine's Western and faux-folk recordings for Columbia from 1952-62, including several remakes of songs he had recorded for Mercury and a number of Western film themes. The high drama and brash intensity of Laine's Western efforts isn't too far removed from the work of Tex Ritter or Johnny Western, but his ... see all copies from $13.76! new only from $16.33!
10	Kimberley Jim (1964) more music like this by Jim Reeves Kimberly Jim is the soundtrack to the film in which Jim Reeves starred shortly before his death. The music runs the gamut, from rousing Broadway-style show tunes with a vocal chorus to a version of "Roving Gambler" that is one of the best and most country-sounding recordings of Reeves' late career. Other selections, including "Kimberly Jim" and "I ... see all copies from $20.00!
11	Country Music Hall of Fame: 1990 (2000) more music like this by Tennessee Ernie Ford see all copies from $5.96! new only from $7.16!
12 view cover	Classic Everly Brothers (1992) more music like this by The Everly Brothers The three-disc box set Classic Everly Brothers collects all of their Cadence recordings, including alternate takes, as well as several early radio shows and the four tracks the duo recorded for Columbia in 1955. While this music is the most essential the brothers ever made, the disc of rarities is only of interest to devoted fans. Nevertheless, ... see all copies from $67.99! new only from $68.90!
13 view cover	Abilene (1963) more music like this by George Hamilton IV Collectables' reissue of George Hamilton IV's Abilene contains the original album, plus three bonus tracks which include the hits "Why Don't They Understand" and "A Rose and a Baby Ruth." The hits augment an album that, as its subtitle suggest, leans more toward folk songs. Of course, these songs aren't given folk arrangements -- they are folk ... see all copies from $3.99!

15 view cover	Family Songs and Stories From the North Carolina Mountains (1995) more music like this by Doug and Jack Wallin Doug Wallin and his brother Jack were born into North Carolina's Madison County, a region well-known for its long legacy of music-making; several of the brothers' older relatives had sung for British folklorist Cecil Sharp between 1910-1920, and other family members as well as neighbors have been recorded often since the 1960s. In Family Songs and ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
16 view cover	Songs Our Daddy Taught Us [Ace] (1958) more music like this by The Everly Brothers The Everlys had reached their commercial peak when they made this album of sparsely arranged traditional songs, a concept that was quite a surprise from a top rock & roll act, and considerably ahead of its time. It's actually not as enduring as their early rockers and pop ballads, but the singing is superb on their interpretations of standards ... see all copies from $10.01! new only from $14.90!
17 view cover	Classic Bluegrass (1989) more music like this by Larry Sparks Classic Bluegrass collects the highlights of Larry Sparks 1970s and '80s albums, which were recorded for a variety of different labels. The compilation hits all the high points of the records, providing a definitive retrospective of his career, as well as an excellent, concise introduction to one of bluegrass' best singers. Thom Owens, All Music ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
18 view cover	Hei-Wa Hoedown (1995) more music like this by Walt Koken A former fiddler for the Fat City String Band and the Highwoods String Band in the early 1970s, Walt Koken left the music business for other ventures for some twenty years before emerging in the early 1990s with two fine banjo recordings on Rounder Records, Banjonique, and this one, Hei-Wa Hoedown. Mixing originals with traditional fare, Koken is ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!

21 view cover	Lonesome Valley [Manteca] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Although traditional country, old-timey music, and Appalachian folk are all distinct musical genres with as many differences as similarities, in recent years they have all been increasingly lumped together in the public's perception as bluegrass, itself a distinct genre, and a relative newcomer to the dance at that. As frustrating as this trend is ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
22	Masters 1949-1976 (1994) more music like this by Tennessee Ernie Ford This three-disc box set provides an overview of Tennessee Ernie's recording career from 1949 through 1976, and, although it is in aggregate a more generous collection than many others, each disc contains only 16 or 17 tracks. Consequently, this box set has only ten more selections than Razor & Tie's two-disc Ultimate collection. Masters does ... see all copies from $32.93! new only from $32.93!
23 view cover	Bring Me Home (2008) more music like this by Peggy Seeger While Peggy Seeger was active as an artist as early as the 1950s, and while she played a vital role within the traditional faction of the folk revival, she seems to have recorded infrequently until recent years. Beginning in 2000, however, she has released a steady stream of albums on Appleseed, a folk label aptly suited for her bare-bones, ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
