1	Unhalfbricking (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention Unhalfbricking was, if only in retrospect, a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound. That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief. But the strongest link to ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $13.60!
2	Maid of Constant Sorrow/Golden Apples of the Sun (2001) more music like this by Judy Collins This two-fer from Elektra features a pair of LPs by folksinger Judy Collins, Maid of Constant Sorrow and Golden Apples of the Sun, originally issued 1961 and 1962, respectively. Highlights among the 24 tracks include several traditional folk songs, such as "Wild Mountain Thyme," "Tell Me Who I'll Marry," "John Riley," and "Bonnie Ship the Diamond. ... see all copies from $7.64! new only from $7.64!
3	Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) (1999) more music like this by Fairport Convention Fairport Convention have had their fair share of anthologies, but the double-disc set Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) is arguably the best yet, rivaling the classic Fairport Chronicles, which was released just as the classic lineup was splitting apart. Meet on the Ledge is more exhaustive than that collection, and it also boasts a ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
4	Unhalfbricking [UK Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Fairport Convention Unhalfbricking was, if only in retrospect, a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound. That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief. But the strongest link to ... see all copies from $5.41! new only from $5.41!
5	Chronicles (2005) more music like this by Fairport Convention This two-disc U.K. collection from 2005 features 34 classic tracks culled from material recorded between the British folk-rock legend's 1968 eponymous debut and 1975's Rising for the Moon. Listeners looking for a solid entry point into the world of Fairport Convention will find that Chronicles more than suffices, as it relies a great deal on the ... see all copies from $34.59! new only from $34.59!
6	Maids and Golden Apples (2001) more music like this by Judy Collins Listening to Judy Collins forceful rendering of folk ballads, circa 1961, floods the memory with smoky coffee houses and campus "hoots." Collins sang at the Golden Vanity in Boston and Gerde's Folk City in New York, along side blues' men like Dave Van Ronk. It was at this latter club that Jac Holzman of Elektra records informed Collins that it was ... see all copies from $5.55! new only from $14.51!
7	History of Fairport Convention (1972) more music like this by Fairport Convention Originally a double album, this 18-song CD is a good selection of the better songs recorded by the group from What We Did on Our Holidays thru Babbacombe Lee, including "Sailor's Life," "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," "Meet On the Ledge," "Si Tu Dois Partir," "Matty Groves," "Sloth," and "Angel Delight." It's no substitute for any of the albums ... see all copies from $20.75! new only from $20.75!
8	A Boxful of Treasures (2004) more music like this by Sandy Denny Even before her all-too-tragic passing in 1977, Sandy Denny was touted as England's premiere female folk vocalist. However, gratuitous comparisons with contemporaries Jacqui McShee and Joni Mitchell seem to have been more of an albatross or doubled-edged sword than confirmation of Denny's wholly individualistic style. Depending on which side of ... see all copies from $77.51! new only from $77.51!
9	Gold (2008) more music like this by Fairport Convention This two-disc U.K. collection features 34 classic tracks culled from material recorded between the British folk-rock legend's 1968 eponymous debut and 1975's Rising for the Moon. Listeners looking for a solid entry point into the world of Fairport Convention will find that Gold more than suffices, as it relies a great deal on the group's most ... see all copies from $31.48! new only from $31.48!
10	Maid of Constant Sorrow (1961) more music like this by Judy Collins Judy Collins' debut LP shows her relying more on enthusiasm than subtlety in her singing, with a deeper, heavier style than anyone would be accustomed to from her. It's almost as though, lacking confidence, she tried too hard in various spots to make the songs (and her voice) sound profound and significant, and wasn't aware of what the strongest ... see all copies from $32.21!
11 view cover	Second Album (1966) more music like this by Martin Carthy This record stands in British music history and Carthy's career roughly where Another Side of Bob Dylan does in American music--the more florrid tracks here, recorded with violinist Dave Swarbrick, show the path to the bridge between Carthy's traditional singer/scholar background and the folk-rock played by bands such as Fairport Convention and ... see all copies from $17.23! new only from $17.23!
