1	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The critical consensus at the end of 2000 was that it had been one of the weakest film years in recent memory. Which may have been true, despite O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Coen brothers' delightfully warm and weird Depression-era re-telling of Homer's Odyssey. But for music lovers, 2000 was an amazing year at the movies, and it produced ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £4.98!
2	The Complete Recordings [Longbox] (1990) more music like this by Robert Johnson add to wishlist A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from £7.81! new only from £9.80!
3	Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Featuring the languid, tropical sounds of the slack key guitar, Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 picks up where the best-selling first volume left off. This collection includes songs by artists like Keola Beamer, Sonny Chillingworth, Led Kaapana, Ray Kane, and Dennis Kamakahi. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.00! new only from £4.00!
4	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd add to wishlist 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd's most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to ... see all copies from £8.88! new only from £8.88!
5	Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Originally released in 1952 as a quasi-legal set of three double LPs and reissued several times since (with varying cover art), Anthology of American Folk Music could well be the most influential document of the '50s folk revival. Many of the recordings that appeared on it had languished in obscurity for 20 years, and it proved a revelation to a ... see all copies from £52.91! new only from £52.91!
6	The Complete Aladdin Recordings (1991) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins add to wishlist This is where it all began for the Houston troubadour: 43 solo sides, as evocative and stark as any he ever did, from 1946-1948. The first 13 sides find the guitarist in tandem with pianist Wilson "Thunder" Smith (who handles the vocals on a few tracks), but after that, old Lightnin' Hopkins went the solo route. "Katie May," "Short Haired Woman," ... see all copies from £7.48! new only from £7.96!
7	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust-worthy label. Hip-O's Definitive Collection provides one such example, complete ... see all copies from £8.44! new only from £8.44!
8	The Best of Friends [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist John Lee Hooker's recordings for Virgin/Point Blank may have varied in quality, but never in formula. Once The Healer earned reams of praise and, more importantly, solid sales upon its 1989 release, it was pretty much set in stone that every future Hooker album would be painstakingly constructed and boast a plethora of superstar cameos. The guest ... see all copies from £7.77! new only from £7.77!
9	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt add to wishlist 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 £14.92! new only from £14.92!
10	Lightning in a Bottle (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Lightning in a Bottle is the double-disc soundtrack to the documentary film of the same title directed by Antoine Fuqua and shot at a February 7, 2003, concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Billed as a "Salute to the Blues," the show featured veteran blues musicians as well as a younger generation of players and artists either ... see all copies from £8.25! new only from £9.96!
11	The Complete Recordings [Jewel Case] (1996) more music like this by Robert Johnson add to wishlist A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from £7.42! new only from £10.10!
12	People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-disc, 70-track (30 of them new to the CD era) collection of murder ballads and disaster songs originally released on commercial 78s between 1913 and 1938 is, in spite of the archaic song structures and often crude sonic qualities on display, strangely contemporary in tone and feel, maybe because we've always been drawn to the scene of ... see all copies from £24.88! new only from £24.88!
13	King of the Delta Blues [Columbia/Legacy] (1997) more music like this by Robert Johnson add to wishlist This 16-track single-disc compilation gathers up the best-known tracks from the two original volumes of King of the Delta Blues Singers for a nice entry-level collection of Robert's best. Utilizing the latest in remastering technology, these recordings have never sounded quite this clear and full-bodied before, and the difference between this and ... see all copies from £5.65! new only from £5.65!
14	The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie (1972) more music like this by Woody Guthrie add to wishlist A two-record set released on one CD, this collection of great Woody Guthrie songs performed by some of Guthrie's apostles, as well as by Guthrie himself, serves as a nice overview of his music. From the opening notes of "This Land Is Your Land" and a composite arrangement that starts with Guthrie and his guitar, then folds into the Weavers ... see all copies from £8.60! new only from £8.60!
15	Ghost World (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist In the era of soundtracks created more out of corporate synergy than artistic inspiration, the soundtrack to Ghost World is a wonderful treat. The music from the film based on the comic book by Daniel Clowes contains some great obscure blues and West Indian music transferred from vintage 78s as well as Indian film soundtrack music, new recordings ... see all copies from £4.63! new only from £7.39!
16	The Best of the Blues [MCA Special Products] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Certainly, a single-disc budget-line collection such as MCA Special Products' Best of the Blues can't live up to its title, but those expecting such a disc to be a definitive introduction to such a rich idiom as the blues are simply deluding themselves. Think of the compilation as an affordable sampler of one label's vaults, and you'll be on the ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £4.99!
17	Milk Cow Blues (2000) more music like this by Willie Nelson add to wishlist Willie Nelson's idiosyncratic vocal style has always been heavily influenced by the blues, just as much as it has been by country, pop, and folk, but he'd never recorded a straight blues album until 2000's Milk Cow Blues. Any longtime Nelson fan will undoubtedly be quietly thrilled with the idea of a straight blues album, and the very first notes ... see all copies from £4.24! new only from £9.32!
18	Blues in My Bottle (1963) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins add to wishlist The late great Lightnin' Hopkins was one of the most natural of bluesmen, a poet who would often make up lyrics as he recorded. He was at his best when unaccompanied, as on this 1961 Prestige date. Though he usually played electric guitar, the Texas blues titan performed on this release with an acoustic, and the result is most rewarding. Tunes ... see all copies from £4.19! new only from £7.56!
19	A Fix Back East (2004) more music like this by Tarbox Ramblers add to wishlist Four years ago, when the Tarbox Ramblers introduced their train wreck of swamp blues, hillbilly, gospel, and woolly folk, the North Mississippi Allstars, Black Keys, Fiery Furnaces, or that Detroit band with the funny clothes, weren't even blips on the screen. Now they're the competition. It's OK, it's a big world, and with A Fix Back East, the ... see all copies from £6.45! new only from £6.45!
20	Five Dollar Bill (2002) more music like this by The Corb Lund Band add to wishlist When it comes to famous names of famous bands, one always wonders: Did the band's name always sound cool, or did it just sound cool once they hit the big time? The Corb Lund Band doesn't really have the catchy ring of a Lynyrd Skynyrd or Aerosmith, but it's easy to get the feeling after listening to the first couple of cuts that it soon will. The ... see all copies from £9.09! new only from £9.09!
21	Dirt on the Angel (2003) more music like this by Danny Barnes add to wishlist On Dirt on the Angel, his fourth outing, multi-instrumentalist Danny Barnes, formerly of the Austin, TX-based Bad Livers, soldiers on mining the tradition for new songs while displaying an eclecticism that's nothing less than endearing and simultaneously visionary. With the help of a band that includes Bill Frisell, Chuck Leavell, and Darol Anger ... see all copies from £4.80! new only from £5.71!
22	Odetta Sings Dylan (1965) more music like this by Odetta add to wishlist From 1965, Odetta Sings Dylan was one of the first albums entirely devoted to Bob Dylan interpretations, and one of the best. In part that's because the concept was still actually fresh then; in fact, other than an obscure 1964 album by Linda Mason, it was the very first album of Dylan covers. And in part it was because, unlike most of the artists ... see all copies from £8.72! new only from £8.72!
23	Today! (1966) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt add to wishlist 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 £5.61! new only from £8.60!
24	Black Snake Moan [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Black Snake Moan, the 2007 movie that stars Samuel L. Jackson as a God-fearing, bent broken soul and tortured former bluesman, with Christina Ricci playing the town tramp he feels he has to redeem by any means necessary, is a wildly provocative look at spiritual and cultural mores -- and is sure to set some folks on edge. The soundtrack that ... see all copies from £9.89! new only from £9.89!
25	Where Did You Sleep Last Night: Lead Belly Legacy, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Leadbelly add to wishlist The bulk of the best performances by Leadbelly -- whose influence on the folk revival of the 1950s and '60s cannot be overstated -- were recorded during the '40s for Folkways Records founder Moses Asch. Inferior copies and re-recordings of these tunes have appeared over the years, but the original masters have sat in the vaults of Folkways. The ... see all copies from £7.82! new only from £9.09!
