American, 1994. Used ... $4.99
Johnny Cash's first record for Rick Rubin's American Recordings label – and a late career reviving masterpiece for the great, distinctly American legend.

American, 2002. Used ... $5.99
Cash's fourth volume of stark, sparely-arranged studio recordings for producer/set list provider Rick Rubin.

A strange bit of country soul – but a great one, and unique gem from Don Crawford! Another Shade Of Black was recorded by Don Crawford in New York, with bit of a crossover folksy feel that's more like work you'd hear from Muscle Shoals, but it's in a slightly more experimental mode. The ... (Soul, Folk/Country) read more CD

Finders Keepers (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... $6.99 16.99
Darkly beautiful sounds from the duo of Don & Stevie Gere – a husband and wife who work here with a style that's folksy, but a bit spooky too – possibly due to the fact that the music within was recorded in their California home, and never issued for years!

Cheryl Ernst may not be one of the biggest names in 70s music, but she gets some top-shelf here from Bones Howe in the studio – who mixes her sweet vocals and guitar with some really sublime larger backings! The blend is wonderful – as Cheryl's post-folk approach might sound a bit too ... (Rock, Folk/Country) read more CD
Water, 1969. New Copy ... $14.99 17.99

Water, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $14.99 17.98
Beautiful lost recordings from California folksinger Ruthann Friedman – probably best known as the author of The Association's hit "Windy", but a heck of a great artist on her own! The tracks here are all pulled from Ruthann's private tapes, and document not only her fantastic (yet ... read more CD
Jasmine (UK), Late 40s/1950s/Early 60s. New Copy ... $15.99 16.99
A set that looks like it features three different artists, but which instead focuses on the wide-ranging talents of just one guy – Lloyd Leslie George, who recorded for a number of different labels during the postwar years, and in a number of different styles too! First up are a number of ... read more CD

EMI/Virgin (UK), 1975. New Copy ... $7.99
A real shift in modes for the legendary Bert Jansch – as you might guess from the sunny Santa Barbara on the cover – which is a long way from the rainy roots of Bert's music in the UK!
