1	Cold Mountain (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Miramax hops on the old-timey bandwagon with the release of the soundtrack for Anthony Minghella's Civil War epic Cold Mountain. Like O Brother, Where Art Thou?'s dark, older sibling, the latest collection of blues, ballads, and laments from producer T-Bone Burnett is a veritable dictionary of traditional country and Americana, but with a ... see all copies from $3.52! new only from $5.90!
2	Rabbit Songs (2001) more music like this by Hem Quoted as wanting to make a record "we could love the rest of our lives," Hem spent a year on this collection. The idea was to combine their love of traditional American music with the lushness of the occasional 18-piece orchestra, a good choice considering the sweet, crystalline quality of the vocal work by lead singer Sally Ellyson. Ellyson had ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
3	The Natch'l Blues (1968) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal's second album, recorded in the spring and fall of 1968, opens with more stripped-down Delta-style blues in the manner of his debut, but adds a little more amplification (partly courtesy of Al Kooper on organ) before moving into wholly bigger sound on numbers like "She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride" and "The Cuckoo" -- the ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $11.06!
4	Tom Rush [1965] (1965) more music like this by Tom Rush It's unfortunate that Tom Rush's third album has such a strong reputation among rock listeners -- not that it doesn't deserve it, but it sort of distracts them from this album, which was as natural a fit for rock listeners as any folk album of its era. Rush's debut album is filled with a hard, bluesy brand of folk music that's hard on the acoustic ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.08!
5	Hips and Makers (1994) more music like this by Kristin Hersh Kristin Hersh dug into her backlog of compositions for material of an intensely personal nature that she felt wouldn't be suitable for her band on her solo debut, Hips and Makers. In stark contrast to her work with Throwing Muses, Hips and Makers is almost entirely acoustic. Hersh embellishes her waifish voice and acoustic guitar with touches of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Negrass (2007) more music like this by Laura Love see all copies from $14.75! new only from $14.75!
7	Wheels Within Wheels (2003) more music like this by Rory Gallagher Although best known for his barnstorming blues-rock, Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher had a softer side, too. All of his studio albums contain at least one acoustic folk-blues track, and Gallagher included an unplugged set in the majority of his live shows way before that was fashionable. Almost eight years after his death, Rory's brother Donal ... see all copies from $7.02! new only from $11.06!
8	Custer LaRue Sing The Daemon Lover (1993) more music like this by Custer LaRue/Baltimore Consort Just about everything that Custer LaRue performs turns out beautifully, and that's certainly the case again with her 1993 release, The Daemon Lover. LaRue's glorious soprano is in fine form on the title song (which may be better known to some as "The House Carpenter") and, indeed, all throughout the album. From "Fare Ye Well, Lovely Nancy" to ... see all copies from $4.32! new only from $21.99!
9	The Doc Watson Family (1990) more music like this by Doc Watson Doc Watson, grandfather of the folk revival movement, has had a profound influence on American traditional music. Not only did he pioneer the playing of fiddle tunes on a flattop guitar, but through his incessant touring has brought traditional music to a larger audience. This Smithsonian Folkways release captures not only Doc Watson, but almost a ... see all copies from $3.83! new only from $3.83!
10	My Life (2006) more music like this by Grace Griffith Although her passionate voice and pop/folk vibe brings Joni Mitchell instantly to mind, and her voice has the ethereal, emotional magic of Sarah McLachlan, Grace Griffith will no doubt bear more comparisons to the late Eva Cassidy for a handful of reasons. First, the exquisite and haunting My Life is her fourth recording for Blix Street, the label ... see all copies from $4.19! new only from $15.49!
11 view cover	Original Folkways Recordings: 1960-1962 (1994) more music like this by Doc Watson & Clarence Ashley This important release documents the rediscovery of banjoist and comedian Clarence (Tom) Ashley in the early '60s, and the simultaneous introduction of a young and then-unknown guitar picker, the astounding Doc Watson. Ashley was one of the many musicians of the '20s and '30s whose early work appeared briefly on Harry Smith's 1952 Anthology of ... see all copies from $22.74! new only from $22.74!
12 view cover	Willow (2004) more music like this by Misty River see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
13 view cover	Live at the Gaslight 1962 (2005) more music like this by Bob Dylan The mysterious tape of early Bob Dylan performances said to have been recorded at the Gaslight Café in Greenwich Village in 1962 began turning up on bootleg albums such as Ode for Barbara Allen, The Gaslight Tapes, Dylan '62, and Barbed Wire Blues in the 1970s. In 1991, one track, "No More Auction Block," earned legitimate release on The Bootleg ... see all copies from $19.99!
14 view cover	This-a-Way, That-a-Way (1989) more music like this by Ella Jenkins Ella Jenkins' This-a-Way, That-a-Way finds the famous folksinger leading a group of school children in fun call and response numbers and singalongs that are as energetic and sunny as they are educational. Jenkins leads her charges on the title track and "Miss Mary Mack," and has them snap along with her rhythm on "Do You Know Your County?" "I Know ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $15.59!
15 view cover	Light Flight: The Anthology (2002) more music like this by Pentangle At this point, there have been more Pentangle compilations than some people have had hot dinners, and certainly more than the number of albums released by the original band. However, each new collection refines things a bit more, and this time around they might have come up with the ultimate version. Kicking off with "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" ... see all copies from $17.95! new only from $18.16!
16 view cover	ForeignLander (2004) more music like this by Lydia McCauley When you hear songs this beautiful being performed by a woman with this kind of obvious love and devotion for them, you naturally want to praise her. In Lydia McCauley's case, though, there's a problem: as a singer, she just doesn't seem to be up to the task. The problem isn't her voice per se -- her voice is warm and attractive, and she stays on ... see all copies from $13.32!
17 view cover	Rhythms of Childhood (1979) more music like this by Ella Jenkins see all copies from $6.92! new only from $14.97!
18 view cover	Faro Annie (1972) more music like this by John Renbourn On Faro Annie, Renbourn focuses more on his bluesy side making for an interesting, though not representaive portrait of the artist. Chip Renner, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.00! new only from $13.59!
19 view cover	Angel Fire (1998) more music like this by The Kennedys The Kennedys' hopelessly romantic and literary aspirations as an acoustic duo come into much sharper focus with this album. After an exhausting tour behind their Life Is Large album (loaded with guest artists helping out), the Kennedys bought a small house in Reston, Virginia and turned it into their own 16-track studio. The respite from the road ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.28!
20 view cover	Hard Travelin' (1989) more music like this by Ramblin' Jack Elliott Ramblin' Jack Elliott's early-'60s Prestige LPs Sings the Songs of Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott are combined onto a single 77-minute disc on this CD reissue, with one song ("I Love Her So/I Got a Woman") deleted for space reasons. It's not as good as hearing Woody Guthrie himself, and may strike contemporary listeners as a bit tame and ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $17.01!
21 view cover	Evidence (2004) more music like this by Laura MacKenzie see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
22 view cover	Still (2001) more music like this by Still on the Hill see all copies from $21.41! new only from $21.41!
23 view cover	Light Shine (1974) more music like this by Jesse Colin Young Whether it was creative fervor or contractual obligation, Jesse Colin Young was back with a new album only six months after his commercial and artistic breakthrough with Song for Juli, and though the album featured more original songs, Young seemed to be stretching for material, turning the three tunes on side one into a "California Suite" with ... see all copies from $8.74!
24 view cover	The Early Years (2001) more music like this by Ruth Barrett/Cyntia Smith see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
25 view cover	The Common Stone (2005) more music like this by Bob Davenport To describe Bob Davenport's new album as quirky folk doesn't quite do it justice. Yes, the album is, more or less, folk, and the choice of material and performance style is often quirky, but it's presented in a tasteful, professional fashion. With its mixture of instrumentals, a cappella singing, and unusual material, The Common Stone is well ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!
