1	Lifeline Extended (2002) more music like this by Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert In 1984, Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert released Lifeline, a collection of live recordings captured at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. The eight shows between April 28-31 would serve as a comeback for Gilbert (who had been part of the Weavers) and a chance for two politically committed women to join forces. In 2002, Near revisited ... see all copies from $17.47! new only from $17.47!
2	Simply Love: The Women's Music Collection (2000) more music like this by Holly Near While Holly Near's commitment to women's music and women's issues has been unwavering, she has never been a women's music artist entirely, or even primarily. Rather, she comes out of a tradition dating back to Woody Guthrie and Aunt Molly Jackson -- songwriter/performers concerned with a broad range of left-leaning political causes who are usually ... see all copies from $23.55! new only from $23.55!
3	Folk Live from Mountain Stage (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Mountain Stage: Folk Live contains highlights from the weekly radio show, this time concentrating on performers who fall into a loose definition of folk. That means there are not only folk singer-songwriters like Iris DeMent, but country-rockers like Steve Earle and country groups like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The eclecticism works in the ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $40.19!
4	George and Ira Gershwin: A Musical Celebration (1994) more music like this by George and Ira Gershwin see all copies from $7.98! new only from $36.84!
5	With a Song in My Heart (1997) more music like this by Holly Near Despite her excellent voice and interpretive ability, Holly Near would not seem like the best candidate to record an album of classic pop standards, if only because the underlying social attitudes of such songs are at such variance from her own, a point driven home in 1983 when she put together a medley of standards on the Lifeline album and ... see all copies from $13.97! new only from $13.97!
6	Musical Highlights from the Play "Fire in the Rain" (1993) more music like this by Holly Near Musical Highlights From the Play "Fire in the Rain" chronicles the Holly Near songs from her autobiographical play. As such, it is in effect a compilation of some of Near's best work, from standards like "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and "If I Loved You" to feminist and lesbian anthems like "Started Out Fine" and "Simply Love," dating back ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $33.35!
7	Where Have All the Flowers Gone: The Songs of Pete Seeger (1998) more music like this by Various Artists After listening to this multi-artist two-CD celebration of Pete Seeger's songs, you'll be delighted to read in the liner notes that it's "just the beginning of at least four volumes." Producer Jim Musselman calls the package a "labor of love," and that's clearly what it was. Musselman did a terrific job of choosing the songs from Seeger's vast ... see all copies from $29.89! new only from $29.89!
8	Edge (2000) more music like this by Holly Near Holly Near fans waited a long time for this one. Her last studio album on which the majority of the songs were new and original compositions was 1987's Don't Hold Back, and one must go back to 1984's Watch Out! to find an album on which she expressed her political views in her own songs across an entire disc. On Edge, Near is the writer of eight ... see all copies from $11.52! new only from $13.97!
9	Lifeline (1983) more music like this by Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert In 1974, Holly Near dedicated her second album to Ronnie Gilbert. Nine years later, they went on tour together and recorded this live album. The pairing was as musically felicitous as it was philosophically appropriate. The 56-year-old Gilbert and the 33-year-old Near could have been mother and daughter in more ways than one, and the selections ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $9.00!
10	Rainbow Sign (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This is a well-crafted compilation. Janet Schnol, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.99! new only from $18.07!
11	Peace is the World Smiling (1989) more music like this by Various Artists This is a collection of inspiring works presented by concerned musicians, poets and story tellers from toddlers to great grandmothers. It's a rainbow of heart-touching, humorous styles from beautiful ballads to upbeat island sounds. A percentage of all royalties from this recording is donated to One Percent For Peace, an organization that ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $6.16!
12 view cover	Early Warnings (2002) more music like this by Holly Near With Holly Near's Redwood label having gone bust, putting all her early albums out of print, Appleseed culls tracks from two of her 1980s releases, Watch Out! and Sky Dances, and adds the version of Pete Seeger's "Quiet Early Morning" from its 1998 Seeger tribute, Where Have All the Flowers Gone, to construct this compilation. Near adds a sleeve ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
13 view cover	And Still We Sing: The Outspoken Collection (2002) more music like this by Holly Near Holly Near has made a career out of speaking out, so calling her collection And Still We Sing: The Outspoken Collection seems an apt one. In the tradition of the '60s protest singer, Near has never been shy about wearing her liberal beliefs on her shirt sleeve. Although some of the material dates back to the '70s, most of it has been recorded ... see all copies from $15.39! new only from $23.55!
14 view cover	Crushed! The Love Song Collection (2002) more music like this by Holly Near Holly Near would be the first to admit that love songs are not her métier, and in fact, she admits it right up front in her liner notes to this compilation: "I was never much for writing love songs," she writes. "My passion was in social change music." But there have been a few love songs over the years, and now that she is repackaging her old ... see all copies from $12.80! new only from $15.31!
15 view cover	This Train Still Runs (1996) more music like this by Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert's third duo album, and their first in ten years, was a live disc on which the two singers, backed by piano accompaniment, performed separately and together a varied 19-song set that evoked their heritage in the form of selections associated with Woody Guthrie, the Weavers, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Phil ... see all copies from $4.58! new only from $14.51!
16 view cover	Singer in the Storm (1990) more music like this by Holly Near & Mercedes Sosa Holly Near is in excellent voice on this live album, most of which was recorded with only pianist John Bucchino's accompaniment, with other instruments overdubbed in a studio. Like many performers who make their living on the road, Near is at her best in a live setting, which is one reason her second recording, A Live Album, became one of her most ... see all copies from $4.54!
17	Don't Hold Back (1987) more music like this by Holly Near Near's party album, a thoroughly pleasing collection of love songs, with guest appearances by Bonnie Raitt and Kenny Loggins. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
18 view cover	Imagine My Surprise! (1978) more music like this by Holly Near The significant artistic growth demonstrated on Holly Near's fourth album was predicated on her coming out as a lesbian, an act she defined as going beyond "sexual preference" to embrace cultural and political aspects, among others. Thus, for example, the kinds of left-wing causes the singer had supported before were now expressed in female terms ... see all copies from $26.92! new only from $59.97!
19 view cover	Show Up (2006) more music like this by Holly Near see all copies from $14.72! new only from $14.72!
20	Journeys (1983) more music like this by Holly Near On this compilation drawn from her first six albums, which Holly Near notes is not a best-of (and which could hardly be a hits package since she hasn't had any), the singer selects 12 tracks from her catalog by theme, picking two paired songs to illustrate six subjects. First and weakest is the aspiring pop singer, as Near leads the album off with ... see all copies from $69.99!
21	All-Ears Review, Vol. 7 more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.38!
22 view cover	A Love Worth Fighting For (1996) more music like this by Various Artists On this new CD, America's most influential gay and lesbian songwriters have united with promising new discoveries. Over two years in the making, the project is the brainchild of network television writer/producer Mitchell Gallob. It's impossible to listen to this collection of gems without being moved. Michael Callen sets the tone for the album ... see all copies from $5.95!
23 view cover	Cris & Holly (2003) more music like this by Cris Williamson/Holly Near Cris Williamson and Holly Near have been singing together in one way or another for so long that it's hard to believe it took them until 2003 to do an album together. The result is both a look back at that shared history and an examination of the present. Near acknowledges that the first of these was the original intention: "Our first thought was ... see all copies from $14.51! new only from $14.51!
24 view cover	Sing to Me the Dream [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Holly Near/Inti-Illimani This live album is drawn from Holly Near's spring 1984 tour with exiled Chilean folk group Inti-Illimani. The eight male Chileans play a variety of acoustic string and wind instruments and sing in a stirring style that is sometimes reminiscent of the Gipsy Kings. Near, singing in English and Spanish, is equally stirring, whether employing her more ... see all copies from $15.93! new only from $15.93!
25	Fire in the Rain (1981) more music like this by Holly Near Moving beyond the discovery phase of her conversion to lesbianism, as chronicled on her previous album, Imagine My Surprise!, Holly Near explored the limits of her new emotional world on its follow-up, Fire in the Rain. Taking a pop-rock musical approach for the most part, she devoted half of the album to songs about relationships and half to ... see all copies from $8.00!
