2	Very Early Joan (1983) more music like this by Joan Baez This Vanguard release is a heartwarmingly intimate look at Joan Baez during her most influential period (1960-1963). The album's 22 tracks are all live, performed before audiences held in silent and rapt attention in packed concert halls. The singer's trademark politically tinged folk songs are charmingly blended with a few pop interpretations ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
3	Where the Sun Will Never Go Down (1994) more music like this by Chanticleer/Jennings see all copies from $7.61! new only from $14.86!
4	Christmas Is Almost Here Again [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Carly Simon Christmas albums by major veteran pop stars long past their commercial prime are usually not highlights of their catalogs, and for the most part this isn't an exception. There are, too, some of the failings common to these kinds of projects: unmemorable treatments of songs that have been heard too often (like "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and "Silent ... see all copies from $8.88! new only from $15.92!
5	Ralph Stanley (2002) more music like this by Ralph Stanley The undisputed modern patriarch of bluegrass, Ralph Stanley is presented starkly and honestly on this self-titled 2002 album.

8	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 $10.44! new only from $10.44!
9	Free Country (2003) more music like this by Joel Harrison This is certainly an intriguing release. Guitarist Joel Harrison recorded a dozen songs associated with country music, some of them quite traditional, but he recast them in surprising ways, making the CD title of Free Country fit quite well. Sometimes his steel guitar pays respect to the melodies and at other times he freaks out a bit on his ... see all copies from $3.19! new only from $3.19!
10	Voice of the Spirit, Gospel of the South (2006) more music like this by Various Artists This project began as an exploration of traditional Appalachian gospel songs, the kind of territory that A.P.

20 view cover	Singalong: Live at Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1980 (1992) more music like this by Pete Seeger This is not simply a live recording. It is a carefully planned project to document a life's work.
