1	Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this by Pete Seeger "Greatest Hits," as Seeger himself wryly wrote in his liner notes, is a misnomer considering that he never had hit singles or huge-selling albums as a solo artist, though actually "Little Boxes" (included here) made the lower reaches of the charts. In reality this 1967 compilation (since reissued on CD) collects the most popular tracks of his 1962 ... see all copies from $11.80! new only from $11.80!
2	The House Carpenter's Daughter (2003) more music like this by Natalie Merchant Striving to preserve the kinds of songs that "teach us about what we know in our hearts," Natalie Merchant presents here 11 songs of traditional and contemporary folk music. Merchant's handpicked song choices run the gamut of the 20th century, with seven traditional tunes and four covers. The covers are an eclectic mix: the Waterboys-esque ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $14.25!
3	The Weavers' Almanac (1963) more music like this by The Weavers Given that the Weavers evolved out of the politically oriented Almanac Singers, and that this album was released during a period when Peter, Paul & Mary and other folk groups were reviving their songs with commercial success, calling it The Weavers' Almanac evoked their past in a newly fashionable present. Having reached the best-seller charts ... see all copies from $7.70! new only from $11.30!
4	Classic Labor Songs from Smithsonian Folkways (2006) more music like this by Various Artists In the era of the sound bite, when songs are used to hawk everything from shampoo, soap, and cars to wine coolers, dating services, and Viagra, it is easy to lose sight of the more noble utilitarian use songs can have, and this haunting collection of 20th century labor songs calling for fairness, dignity, and a just wage is a compelling document ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
5	Back to Basics (1987) more music like this by Billy Bragg After Elektra signed Billy Bragg to his first major-label deal and released Talking With the Taxman About Poetry in 1986, the label decided to do a clean-up job on his back catalog and compiled Back to Basics, which combined the material from Bragg's first three records -- Life's a Riot With Spy vs Spy, Brewing Up With Billy Bragg, and Between the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
6	Voices of the Civil Rights Movement Black American Freedom Songs 1960-1966 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The civil rights movement used freedom songs to spread their message, adapting folk and pop tunes with contemporary topical lyrics, or writing new songs addressing social injustice in general, and injustice for African-Americans in particular. This is a two-CD, 43-song compilation of such songs, recorded live in mass meetings in churches between ... see all copies from $9.85! new only from $16.27!
7	Seeds: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Vol. 3 (2003) more music like this by Pete Seeger In his 60-some years as a public performer, Pete Seeger has left an indelible footprint on popular music. As a member of the Almanac Singers (with Woody Guthrie, Lee Hays, and Millard Lampell) in the 1940s and the Weavers (again with Lee Hays, as well as Fred Hellerman and Ronnie Gilbert) a decade later, Seeger helped midwife the urban folk boom ... see all copies from $20.31! new only from $20.31!
8	Sing Loud, Sing Proud (2001) more music like this by Dropkick Murphys Boston's Dropkick Murphys exude an energetic rowdiness, a definite slice of punk-o-rama appeal. Fans raise their fists in the spirit of Oi!, and the Dropkicks playfully snarl into Irish-American song traditions and musical unity. On Sing Loud, Sing Proud, it became more than a family affair. The band's new lineup featuring James Lynch (guitar), ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
9	If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope & Struggle (1998) more music like this by Pete Seeger Pete Seeger's repertoire was not limited to songs with specific sociopolitical goals, and the most familiar versions of his most popular tunes were done for Columbia. Still, it's hard to imagine doing better than this compilation of Folkways recordings (most from the late '50s and '60s) if you want evidence of Seeger's importance and skills as a ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
10	Which Side Are You On? (2005) more music like this by Wakefield see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	Sing for Freedom: Civil Rights Movement Songs (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The Freedom Singers and others on this determined, triumphant collection. Opal Louis Nations, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
12 view cover	Harlan County USA: Songs of the Coal Miner's Struggle (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Several of the songs on this intense collection were featured in Barbara Kopple's powerful 1976 documentary Harlan County, USA which followed a 13-month United Mine Workers' strike in Harlan County, KY in 1973. Rounder Records has also added related material drawn mostly from two earlier album releases, 1972's Come All You Coal Miners and 1984's ... see all copies from $12.17! new only from $12.17!
13 view cover	Music of Coal: Mining Songs from the Appalachian Coalfields (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $37.71! new only from $37.71!
14 view cover	Brewing Up with Billy Bragg [Bonus Disc] (2006) more music like this by Billy Bragg Billy Bragg's first full-length album was a near-perfect distillation of his many facets -- one-man band, cheerful troublemaker, passionate if foghorn-voiced vocalist, rough but emphatic guitarist, heartfelt activist, man on the street, and lovelorn romantic walking the fine line between wistfulness and reality. Released in 1984, Brewing Up with ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
15 view cover	Wasn't That a Time! [Vanguard] (1993) more music like this by The Weavers Wasn't That a Time! is a treasure for serious Weavers fans. Featuring 87 songs on its four discs, including several unreleased numbers, the box set is designed for devoted fans; the liner notes are filled with anecdotes and photos that provide a good portrait of the group. For some casual fans, it might be a bit too much, but Wasn't That a Time! ... see all copies from $359.88!
16 view cover	Volume I (2006) more music like this by Billy Bragg Billy Bragg's first and best music reflected a union of two complementary musical approaches that had yet to be brought together -- the tradition of topical songwriting which dated back to the earliest days of British folk and championed in the 20th century by the likes of Woody Guthrie and Phil Ochs, and the working-class ranting of British punk, ... see all copies from $81.72! new only from $81.72!
17 view cover	A Guide Through the Chaos (A Road to the Passion) Spoken History of the Jefferson Airplan (1996) more music like this by Paul Kantner The second in a (woefully brief) series of spoken word double-CD sets that would have gracefully brought the art form into the 1990s and beyond, Monster Sounds' recording of Paul Kantner's history is an absolute joy. Kantner proves to be an excellent speaker, and producer/interviewer Harvey Kubernik is also a great "guide" here. The story of the ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $29.99!
18 view cover	Which Side Are You On? [Clean] (2005) more music like this by Wakefield see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.56!
19 view cover	Carry It On, Songs of America's Working People (1986) more music like this by Pete Seeger/Jane Sapp/Si Kahn see all copies from $6.70! new only from $15.29!
20 view cover	Coal Mining Women (1997) more music like this by Various Artists A little over half of the songs here originally appeared on They'll Never Keep Us Down (Rounder). The disc is well populated with moving unionist coal mining protest songs of renowned folk artist Helen Dickens. Her bright, strong and singular delivery makes a good foundation for this record. Also present is the all-female Reel World String Band. ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
21 view cover	Barefoot Boy with Boots On (1980) more music like this by John McCutcheon Now available on CD, this recording from 1980 is a pleasant piece of retro-Americana, with John McCutcheon proving himself a virtuoso on hammer dulcimer, banjo, fiddle, guitar, and autoharp. Indeed, the instrumentation is the album's strong suit. The weak link is McCutcheon's rather unremarkable voice. But there is enough charm and artistry in his ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
22 view cover	Disarming Violence (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $11.84! new only from $11.84!
