No, not ten of each genre. A total of ten, please.

Martha doesn't signal when the orchestra comes in, she's just pursing her lips.

Does Polka belong here, or should I start a different thread?  ???

Oh..well, if Lyle Lovett & kd lang count, throw in a couple of Ledbelly & BB, maybe Lucinda Williams, and how 'bout Elvis Costello's Almost Blue, and I'm home free.

The All-Blues Revue:

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

This is the toughest desert island list to compile. Too many categories, Dave! I've decided not to include any straight blues albums and just concentrate on country and folk...and only recordings from the 60s to the present. Older country and folk, contained in big box sets I treasure (like the Bear Family Records complete Carter Family, Louvin Brothers, Stanley Brothers, etc, and The Smithsonian Folkways Recordings) don't fit the desert island rules anyway. My list leans heavily towards the distaff side. My first girlfriend, the first girl I ever kissed (we were both six) was a hillbilly who lived in a trailer across the street. I think her voice imprinted itself on my libido  ;D



Freakwater is a female duo (Catherine Irwin and Janet Bean) who sing like the Louvins. John Prine's "In Spite of Ourselves" is a duet album with some of the greatest female country vocalists (Emmylou Harris, Iris DeMent, Patty Loveless. Connie Smith, Lucinda Williams, etc).

Just pick the same ten as jhar26, David. They will do just fine.

Yes, for you, perhaps. But I'm sure I've left others scratching their heads.  ;D

Some of the guys I like made sides when there were no albums, so I'll be posting compilations of those.
