RCA/BGO (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 2CD
Four of the more obscure RCA albums from the great Bobby Bare – all brought together here in a single set! First up is the very unusual English Countryside album – a special set that has the vocals of Bobby Bare paired with a group from the UK – Liverpool's Hillsiders, who sing ... CD
Collectables, Early 60s. New Copy
CD...$4.99 12.99
Obscure 60s work from Rex Allen – recorded for a smaller label than some of his bigger hits, and done in a more laidback style that's mighty nice! There's less of the western themes on the record than you might guess from Rex's look on the cover – and a fair bit of the album has an ... CD
Iron Mountain Analog Research (Australia), Late 50s/1960s/Early 70s. New Copy Gatefold
That's "bards" of prey, not birds of pray – a great selection of country singers, really doing their best on a well-chosen batch of unusual material! There's some of the slight doom/gloom themes going on here that you'll find in other material from the Hillbillies In Hell series ... LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol/Elemental (Spain), 1967. New Copy (reissue)
A key late 60s country crossover set, but one that also inspired a fair bit of funk as well! The title cut's a well-known gem – one that's been covered instrumentally in some break-heavy versions, but which sounds even more amazing here in Bobbie's original version – one of the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Numero, 1960s. New Copy
A surprisingly strong collection of country cuts from a very unusual scene – material recorded for the tiny Cuca Records label in Wisconsin – a company who was more likely to open their doors to just about anyone, than they were to carefully pick who got to record in their studio! Yet ... LP, Vinyl record album
Ace (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 2LP
A fabulous look at a new wave of music that hit the American scene at the end of the 60s – sophisticated songs with a deep sense of narrative that went way beyond the usual – first sprung by the world of country music, but with an influence that went on to touch all other styles too! ... LP, Vinyl record album
Liberty/Jackpot, 1962. New Copy (reissue)
Incredible early work from Willie Nelson – quite different from his outlaw material of the 70s, but equally compelling in its own sort of way! As you'd guess from the title and cover, the set came out at a time when Willie was a real up-and-coming songwriting in country music – ... LP, Vinyl record album
Shiloh/Americana Anthropology, 1966. New Copy (reissue)
The only studio album ever recorded by this important acoustic group – a west coast bluegrass combo whose contributions to the scene were a key influence on the birth of country rock in Los Angeles! The group here are definitely hardcore – a lineup that features work from Clarence ... LP, Vinyl record album
Numero, 1970s. New Copy
You won't find Joyce Street in the Country Music Hall Of Fame, but she's the kind of singer who definitely could have been huge, had she ever hit the big time – yet maybe one who's even more fascinating on this series of singles recorded for a variety of small labels in the 70s – all ... LP, Vinyl record album

Davy Graham

Hat
Decca/East Central One (UK), 1969. New Copy (reissue)
Prepare to discover your new favorite artist – a tremendously hip cat who never got his due – and who should be held as high on these shores as British talents like Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, or John Martyn! Like all of those three, Davy Graham is a complete original – a guy with ... LP, Vinyl record album

Michael Hurley

Blue Hills
Mississippi, 2010. New Copy
The Hurley machine keeps heaving forward – stepping out here in a set of contemporary recordings, but with sounds that are as timeless as anything else we've heard from him before! The album begins with a haunting number that features just vocals and electric piano – but played in ways ... LP, Vinyl record album
RCA/BGO (UK), Early 70s. New Copy 2CD
A classic run of records from Waylon Jennings – brought together in a single package! First up is Lonesome Onry & Mean – a pivotal album for Waylon Jennings – the record where he really found the new direction that would finally get him the fame he deserved – delivered ... CD
Bear Family (Germany), Mid 1960s. New Copy
One of the most unique country collections we've ever heard – in part because the artists aren't from Nashville, nor Bakersfield, and instead hail from the British scene of the 60s! The tunes here are all country-styled numbers – and some are country music classics – but they get ... CD
Bear Family (Germany), 1950s/1960s. New Copy
The shadow of Hank Williams still looms large in country music well into the 21st Century – but it had an especially strong force in the years after his too-early death – as you'll hear here in a great selection of covers, tributes, and other songs that continue the short-but-strong ... CD
Mississippi, 2002. New Copy
Really beautiful later work from Michael Hurley – a set recorded in the 21st Century, and with some slightly more sophisticated settings than some of Hurley's earliest records – yet still overflowing with all the charms that make his music so great! Hurley handles guitar, vocals, and a ... LP, Vinyl record album
Righteous (UK), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy
A collection of classic country that's got way more to offer than the "depressing" in the title might make you think – not tracks that are purposely over the top and full of bad feeling – but instead the kind of well-crafted work that makes postwar country some of the most ... CD

Steve Young

To Satisfy You
Rounder/Ace (UK), 1981. New Copy
A different slice of music from Steve Young than you might know from his classic Seven Bridges Road – but a set that's equally great in its own sort of way! The album's from a time when Young was really stepping out of the shadows a bit – maybe feeling himself more as a singer, but ... CD

Bonnie Dobson

She's Like A Swallow
Prestige/Big Beat (UK), 1960. New Copy
Sublime early work from Bonnie Dobson – really spare, really beautiful tracks recorded years before Dobson became more of a pop phenomenon – with a classic sound that's instantly mesmerizing, right from the very first note! The record just features Bonnie's guitar and her amazing voice ... CD

Robbie Basho

Voice Of The Eagle
Vanguard (UK), 1972. New Copy
A soaring set from the great Robbie Basho – one of the most unique artists of his generation! Basho's often mentioned in the same breath as John Fahey, but a record like this really shows his difference – as the record not only features wonderful work on both 6 and 12 string guitar ... CD
Hornbeam (UK), 2012. New Copy
One of the great American folk and country figures of the past half century, and one who doesn't get the mainstream reverence he deserves – Tom Paley, a founding member of The New Lost City Ramblers – and he's rambling quite beautifully on these 2011 recordings with his Old Time ... CD
Hi Records/Fat Possum, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$9.99 18.99
An overlooked gem by the great Charlie Rich – an album recorded for Hi Records in the years before he broke big on Columbia in the late 60s – but at a level that certainly points the way towards his country fame to come! And yet, as with most of the best music by Rich – like his ... LP, Vinyl record album
Island (UK), 1969. New Copy
CD...$9.99 11.98
The record where it all really came together for Fairport Convention – the point at which the already-great group really stepped forward to become something totally unique! By this point all the key elements are firmly in place – sublime vocals from the great Sandy Denny, amazing ... CD

Hunt & Turner

Magic Landscape
Village Thing/Lion, 1972. New Copy
CD...$5.99 14.99
A really beautiful set that was issued on a sub-label of UK folk powerhouse Transatlantic – yet a set that's nicely different than some of the better-known work from that label! Ian Hunt and John Thomas both play acoustic guitars, and add in a bit of bass and light percussion – in a ... CD
RCA/BGO (UK), Late 70s. New Copy 2CD
CD...$7.99 18.99
Four late 70s albums from Charley Pride – brought together in a single collection! Pride still sounds great here – opening up his sound a bit past the usual RCA style of the past, with lots of production help from Jerry Bradley, plus a bit of work from Jack Clement too! The set ... CD

Tex Ritter

Blood On The Saddle
Capitol, 1960. Very Good+
One of Tex Ritter's finest moments – a very eerie take on the cowboy genre – with titles that include "The Face on the Barroom Floor", "Boll Weevil", and the title track. Beautiful color illustration on the cover, and nice Capitol sound on the album. LP, Vinyl record album

Arlo Guthrie

Alice's Restaurant
Reprise, 1967. Very Good+
Arlo Guthrie may not be one of the best-remembered folkies of the 60s, but he sure made waves with this classic debut and the side-long title song! Arlo is the son of Woody Guthrie, and probably owes as much to Bob Dylan as Dylan does to Woody – but he was definitely on to something when he ... LP, Vinyl record album
