1	Let Us Get Together (2007) more music like this by Marie Knight Marie Knight began singing at the Oakwood Baptist Church in Newark, NJ and made some early gospel singles for Brunswick and Mercury. Starting in 1952 she gained international fame as the duet partner of Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She continued recording gospel and secular music in the '60s, '70s and '80s. In 2003, MC Records recruited her to sing on A ... see all copies from $10.39! new only from $10.39!
2	Harlem Street Singer (1960) more music like this by Rev. Gary Davis Recorded during a three hour session on August 24, 1960, Gary Davis laid down 12 of his most impassioned spirituals for Harlem Street Singer. Starting off the session with a version of Blind Willie Johnson's "If I Had My Way I'd Tear That Building Down," here renamed "Samson and Delilah," Davis is in fine form. His vocals are as expressive as Ray ... see all copies from $8.35! new only from $8.35!
3	Inside Dave Van Ronk (1969) more music like this by Dave Van Ronk Somewhat confusingly titled, this CD reissue includes both the 1962 album of the same name and the Dave Van Ronk, Folksinger LP (recorded around the same time), encompassing 25 tracks in all. Anyway, this is certainly Van Ronk's most enduring work, and indeed one of the few relics of the early-'60s traditional folk boom that holds up well today. ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
4	Heroes of the Blues: The Very Best of Gary Davis (2003) more music like this by Rev. Gary Davis An expert ragtime and blues guitarist, Rev. Gary Davis recorded gospel, marches, ragtime, jazz, and minstrel pieces throughout his long career (which included recordings issued in every decade from the 1930s until his death in 1972), but turned increasingly to spiritual material, and it is for his own brand of gospel-blues that he is best known. ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $8.37!
5	Division Street (2000) more music like this by Devil in a Woodpile While vocalist Rick "Cookin'" Sherry doesn't have the strongest of voices (often slipping into a rather monotonous vocal pattern), but his band does create a great roots feel. The slap back bass and ragged slide bring tunes like "I'm a Steady Rollin Man" and "Before They Get Me Down" to life. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.84! new only from $9.19!
6	Gospel, Blues and Street Songs (1961) more music like this by Rev. Gary Davis & Pink Anderson This first edition title -- later renamed Gospel, Blues & Street Songs -- is one of the cornerstones of Riverside Records' "Original Blues Classics" series. Regardless of the moniker, these sides loom large in the available works of seminal blues icons Pink Anderson and Rev. Gary Davis. Both performers hail from the largely underappreciated ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
7	Blues Story [Shout! Factory] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Blues Story opens with the wonderful, lazy horns of Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues" and ends on the edge of rock & roll with Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog." In between are dozens of classic old blues tracks, including Tommy Johnson's bright but desperate signature tune, "Canned Heat Blues," T-Bone Walker's "Call It Stormy Monday" (with its famous ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
8	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, ... see all copies from $19.12! new only from $19.12!
9	From Blues to Gospel (1971) more music like this by Rev. Gary Davis His most Rev. Gary Davis was an active musician in addition to being a guitar instructor during his later years. From Blues to Gospel (1993) contains a bakers' dozen of selections featuring his inimitable performance style on an assortment of gospel and secular blues tunes. By the time of these 1971 recordings -- a year prior to his passing -- ... see all copies from $9.73! new only from $9.73!
10	Live at Newport (2001) more music like this by Reverend Gary Davis Long before Christian rockers were using so-called "Devil's music" to promote a religious message, the Rev. Gary Davis demonstrated that acoustic blues and folk didn't have to be about matters of the flesh. Davis, a fascinating cult figure, was as authentic a blues/folk singer as Leadbelly, but he was also a Baptist minister -- and he managed to ... see all copies from $14.27! new only from $14.27!
11	Blues Advice (2000) more music like this by Ernie Hawkins Ernie Hawkins' long-awaited sophomore album (following 1980's Ragtime Signatures), Blues Advice is a gem of an acoustic guitar showcase that hones in on the styles of Skip James, Blind Blake, and Reverend Gary Davis. (Released in 1996, the album was meant to commemorate the centennial year of Davis' birth.) Hawkins' guitar is the most compelling ... see all copies from $39.99! new only from $39.99!
12 view cover	Rev. Gary Davis at Newport (1959) more music like this by Rev. Gary Davis This is one of the few handful of recordings to feature the Rev. Gary Davis in concert. As the name of the project suggests, the proceedings were documented at the Newport Folk Festival in July of 1965. The Reverend's solo vocal is accompanied by his own six- and twelve-string guitar(s) as well as mouth harp. The repertoire incorporates a wide ... see all copies from $10.55! new only from $10.55!

17 view cover	Vanguard Collector's Edition (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This four-CD set isn't quite as comprehensive as it might have been. All of the major bases are covered, from Paul Robeson, the Weavers, and Count Basie to Alison Brown and John McEuen, and even Circus Maximus ("Oops -- I Can Dance") is here, with cuts by the Frost ("Sweet Lady Love") and the Third Power ("Gettin' Together").
