1	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three ... see all copies from $19.67! new only from $19.67!
2	Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings (1996) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's latter-day recordings after his rediscovery have somewhat obscured the importance of these debut sides -- the ones that made his rediscovery an idea initially worth pursuing. Archival recordings such as Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings are the collector's items that made his rep in the first place, and stand ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
3	Today! (1966) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Today is Mississippi John Hurt's first and finest studio release since his "rediscovery" on his Avalon farm by folklorist Tom Hoskins in 1963. Eclipsed possibly only by his earlier 1928 Sessions, this album shows a more mature Hurt picking his way through standards and originals after the Depression years and Hurt's fall into obscurity before the ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!
4	Avalon Blues (1963) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt This is the first in a multiple-volume series devoted to the Piedmont recordings Hurt made upon his rediscovery in the early '60s. They capture him with his playing and singing still intact, untouched by the world around him, a world that had changed so much since he initially recorded back in the '20s. Many of his best-known tunes are here -- ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $15.98!
5	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Aim] (1998) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $13.30! new only from $13.30!
6	The Harry Smith Project: Anthology of American Folk Music Revisited (2006) more music like this by Various Artists In 1952 a record collector and musicologist named Harry Smith put together some of his obscure findings, music recorded in various pockets of America between 1927 and 1934, and released them on Folkways Records as a six-disc set called The Anthology of American Folk Music. Many of the artists represented on these recordings had been long forgotten ... see all copies from $51.07! new only from $51.07!
7	Doc Watson on Stage (Featuring Merle Watson) (1971) more music like this by Doc & Merle Watson One of Doc Watson's finest later records, Doc Watson on Stage is a virtual travelogue of his entire career in one record, almost a greatest-hits record, live. Assisted by Merle Watson, the program flows from lightning fast hoedowns such as "Brown's Ferry Blues," where Watson picks lightning fast with a dexterity that is almost unbelievable. His ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
8	Two Sides of Dave Van Ronk (2002) more music like this by Dave Van Ronk This two-on-one single-CD pairing of sessions from 1963 and 1981 isn't the most logical chronological mating, but Van Ronk's style was consistent enough throughout his career that it's not jarring, though neither album is among his very best. The first half of the disc is devoted to the whole of the 1963 In the Tradition album, which was evenly ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $13.03!
9	Harry Smith Connection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists As part of the excitement surrounding the re-release of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music box set in 1997, two concerts were staged at the Barns of Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA. This 19-song, hour-long CD was taken from those shows, and features contemporary performances of songs on the anthology, garnished by one song about Harry Smith ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
10	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Founded in 1950 by brothers Seymour Solomon and Maynard Solomon just as the LP format was taking hold (it had been introduced to the market two years previously), Vanguard Records took full advantage of the longer playing time afforded and began life as a classical label, moving easily into jazz, then gospel, bluegrass, blues, and folk (as Joan ... see all copies from $9.73! new only from $9.73!
11 view cover	1928 Sessions (1988) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt The 13 original 1928 recordings of Hurt. Justifiably legendary, with gentle grace and power on these understated vocal and fingerpicking masterpieces. These are the ones to hear, although all Hurt is worth listening to. Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.47! new only from $11.47!
12 view cover	Live [Vanguard] (2002) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's vocal and guitar style are always easy on the ears. Unlike a number of Delta stylists with their high-pitched voices and slashing slide guitars, Hurt's approach to country blues is immediately accessible. Recorded (for the most part) at Oberlin College in 1965, Live captures Hurt a couple of years after his rediscovery and ... see all copies from $14.60! new only from $14.60!
13 view cover	Before the Blues, Vol. 3: The Early American Black Music Scene (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This final volume in an indispensable series collects work by better-known artists like Memphis Minnie and Mississippi John Hurt as well as more obscure geniuses like Henry Thomas and Texas Alexander. What stands out is the amazingly consistent level of quality of the recordings. While some preservation efforts such as this might fill spaces with ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
14 view cover	Candy Man Blues (2004) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt With an intricate, delicate guitar style and a soft, gentle voice, Mississippi John Hurt benefited mightily from the recording technology of the day when he recorded 20 tracks for OKeh Records in three sessions (one in Memphis and two in New York City) in 1928. In a genre known for slashing bottleneck stylists and gruff-voiced shouters suited to ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
15 view cover	American Folk Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A bit like a single-disc, condensed version of Harry Smith's famous Anthology of American Folk Music (most of these tracks can be found there), this fine compilation features commercially released 78s from the 1920s and 1930s, and pretty much covers the gamut of early American vernacular music, with a fair sampling of Cajun, country-blues, gospel ... see all copies from $12.60! new only from $12.60!
16 view cover	Satisfying Blues (1995) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
17 view cover	The Roots of the Grateful Dead (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The Grateful Dead drew deep from the well of American music to create their unique blend of folk rock. A menagerie of styles, blues, bluegrass, old-time country, and jug band music, formed a solid base for over thirty years of musical exploration. It will perhaps strike some people as odd, but many of the Grateful Dead's influences would be ... see all copies from $22.30! new only from $22.30!
18 view cover	A Touch of the Past (1993) more music like this by Larry Perkins see all copies from $9.00!

20 view cover	Music Makers With Taj Mahal (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This delightful sampler has roots Renaissance man Taj Mahal backing up several of Music Makers' blues artists in a sequence of tracks that are as comfortable and warm as a jam session on the back porch. The disc opens with two stunning instrumentals that pair Taj with master acoustic guitarist Etta Baker on "Going Down the Road Feelin' Bad" and ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!

24 view cover	Trainfare Home (2000) more music like this by Last Forever Continuing his unique exploration of American folk music, Dick Conette leads his large ensemble in mixing traditional songs like "Louis Collins" and "Duke of Earl" with original tunes that have the same earthy sensibility. Ultimately what comes through is a broad musical idea of America. The experience of Last Forever is akin to the work of Aaron ... see all copies from $37.44! new only from $37.44!
