1	A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 2 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This CD was recorded for a worthwhile cause (Special Olympics) and contains some great songs, most notably Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' "Christmas All Over Again" -- this is jingle-jangle pop at its best. Boyz II Men wrap their a cappella voices around "The Birth of Christ," and the two Wall of Sound standouts, Darlene Love and Ronnie Spector, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.30!
2	Cool Christmas Blues (1994) more music like this by Charles Brown Long recognized as the perennial top contender when it comes to Yuletide R&B, Brown salutes the holiday season in his own inimitable manner. Naturally, there's the umpteenth remake of his seminal "Merry Christmas Baby," along with several more that he's been crooning every December since before most of us were born. But nobody does 'em better. ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $10.09!
3	Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A stellar 18-song compilation with most tracks not duplicated on other in-print collections.

4	Slow Jams Christmas, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Silky, sensual holiday ballads are the focus of Slow Jams Christmas Vol. 1, a collection featuring such soulful hitmakers as the O'Jays ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"), the Temptations ("Silent Night"), New Edition ("Give Love on Christmas") and Donny Hathaway ("This Christmas"). Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.83! new only from $8.83!
5	The Alligator Records Christmas Collection (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This entertaining CD serves a dual purpose, introducing listeners to many of the blues artists who have recorded for Alligator and giving consumers a rare Christmas blues record. The performers include Koko Taylor, Kenny Neal, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Katie Webster (on a rollicking "Deck the Halls With Boogie Woogie"), William Clarke, ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $11.05!
6	Live at the Beacon (1991) more music like this by The New York Rock and Soul Revue Ain't no crime in having a good time and everybody partied at the New York Rock & Soul Revue held live at New York's Beacon Theater; the lineup of Phoebe Snow, Donald Fagan, Charles Brown, Michael McDonald, and Eddie and David Brigati (the Rascals) saw to that. While some performances come off as perfunctory and there's nothing you could label ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!
7	Driftin' Blues: The Best of Charles Brown (1945) more music like this by Charles Brown Originally put out by EMI in 1992, this roundup of Charles Brown's 1945-1956 Aladdin sides is essential listening for all R&B fans -- and that goes for jazz and pop lovers as well. Sticking mostly to an exquisite after-hours mode, Brown delivers one smooth blues gem after another until this 20-track disc comes to a close. Backed for the most part ... see all copies from $4.62! new only from $12.01!
8	Christmas Classics [Rhino] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists This is a well-rounded compilation of R&B, rock & roll, pop, and rocking instrumentals (the Ventures and Santo & Johnny). Aretha Franklin is elegant on "Winter Wonderland," and while Stevie Wonder and the Supremes represent "The Motown Sound." Roy Orbison is in top form on "Pretty Paper," and Bobby "Boris" Pickett would make the Grinch smile with ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $12.22!
9	One More for the Road (1986) more music like this by Charles Brown One of the first comeback salvos that the veteran pianist fired after suffering the slings and arrows of anonymity for much too long. Typically delectable in a subtle, understated manner, Brown eases through a very attractive program. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.81! new only from $10.81!
10	Best Christmas Ever [1996] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The Best Christmas Ever is an eclectic compilation of holiday performances ranging from Doris Day's lily-white "Winter Wonderland" to Eartha Kitt's sultry "Santa Baby," and from Aaron Neville's gossamer "O Little Town of Bethlehem" to Solomon Burke's gritty "Silent Night Story." It contains a number of noteworthy performances... Jason Ankeny, ... see all copies from $9.16! new only from $10.73!
11 view cover	All My Life (1990) more music like this by Charles Brown By far Brown's best contemporary effort (and the set that really got his recording career back in high gear). Cameos by Dr. John and Ruth Brown certainly didn't hurt the set's chances, but it's the eternally suave pianist and his excellent road band (especially guitarist Danny Caron and saxist Clifford Solomon) that make this such a delightful ... see all copies from $11.76! new only from $15.19!
12 view cover	Merry Christmas Baby [Fuel 2000] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A bluesy visit from Saint Nick via some of his more upbeat elves, Merry Christmas Baby boogies its way into the holiday season. Several tracks were previously released on the 1996 album of the same name by Charles Brown, but the additions from such blues luminaries as Jimmy Reed and Louis Jordan make this the hottest spin at the office Christmas ... see all copies from $6.81! new only from $9.73!
13 view cover	Merry Christmas Baby [King] (1988) more music like this by Various Artists The original issue of this classic was subtitled Intimate Christmas Music for Lovers, and with five of the dozen tracks featuring the smoothest of the smooth vocalists, Charles Brown, that subtitle is appropriate. Other King artists represented here are bluesmen Lowell Fulson and Jimmy Witherspoon and Lloyd Glenn on "Sleighride" doing a swinging ... see all copies from $3.93! new only from $5.00!
14 view cover	Please Come Home for Christmas (1995) more music like this by Charles Brown Please Come Home for Christmas, a King reissue from 1961, finds blues crooner Charles Brown trying his hand at Christmas tunes. This set has become a staple for listeners who seek beyond the traditional Nat King Cole or Bing Crosby holiday fare. Brown croons laid-back renditions of "It's Christmas Time," "Christmas Comes But Once a Year," "Let's ... see all copies from $5.83! new only from $8.36!
15 view cover	Martha Stewart Living: Home for the Holidays (2001) more music like this by Various Artists In keeping with the rest of the Martha Stewart Living series, Home for the Holidays: Songs to Get You in the Spirit presents 14 impeccably tasteful old and new holiday favorites, but also adds a refreshing dash of eclecticism.

17 view cover	Billboard Greatest Christmas Hits: 1955-Present (1989) more music like this by Various Artists A rather skimpy but nonetheless useful compilation of Christmas songs, this ten-song set (companion volume to Billboard Greatest Christmas Hits: 1935-1954) wisely steers mostly clear of the annoying novelty Christmas songs of the rock era -- although, sadly, it does force upon its listeners the horrifyingly bad "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.99!
18 view cover	Blues & Soul Christmas (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.42! new only from $5.42!
19 view cover	Honey Dripper (1996) more music like this by Charles Brown "Soothing" is not a word normally associated with blues, but its the word that best captures the experience of listening to Charles Brown, and Honey Dripper is no exception. Listening to it is like sipping a fine bottle of cognac. Seventy-two years old at the time of this recording session, Brown sounds agile, almost ageless. Indeed, time seems to ... see all copies from $9.33!
20 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 1: Urban Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists While more horn-driven and less guitar reliant than other forms of blues, the urban style nonetheless provides its own spectacular highlights, some of the best of which are right here. The first volume in this 15 volume series features classic performances by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Dinah Washington, T-Bone Walker, Charles Brown, Joe Turner, and ... see all copies from $4.90!
21 view cover	Best of the Blues, Vol. 1 [Cema] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Oddball budget set of blues by some fairly big names. Kicking off with the original studio recording of B.B. King's "Everyday I Have the Blues," the set also includes sides from Muddy Waters (a live recording of "Rock Me"), Charles Brown, Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Roy Brown, and others. The title may be ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $2.98!
22 view cover	Blues and Other Love Songs (1992) more music like this by Charles Brown This Charles Brown session from early 1992 finds the singer sounding just as natural as he did in the early '50s. Blues and Other Love Songs was originally released on Muse records and is available as a budget title from the excellent reissue label 32 Jazz. Brown is in a typically soulful mood, crooning like a gritty modern day Nat "King" Cole. ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $6.54!
23 view cover	Living the Blues [Time-Life Inc.] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Leave it to the venerable Time-Life Inc. to release a great grand-daddy among blues compilations, featuring genuine (and often inexplicably ignored) hardcore blues artists, presenting some of their best but not necessarily well-circulated songs. The scholarship here is all about diversity among very good examples: there are no soft anomalies or ... see all copies from $29.98! new only from $29.98!
24 view cover	Christmas Originals (1988) more music like this by Various Artists Although I'm not sure an electronica or even a garage-revival Christmas album is in the works, this collection of Yuletide fare performed by ‘50s blues and R&B notables has to be my favorite seasonal surprise. Collected from the vaults of the trailblazing King label, the 12 cuts spotlight such West Coast blues greats as Charles Brown, Lowell ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!
25	Merry Christmas Baby [Cassette Single] (1996) more music like this by Charles Brown & Lloyd Gleen see all copies from $5.00!
