1	The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists At nine discs and 244 tracks, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 is far too exhaustive for casual fans, but that's not who the set is designed for -- it's made for the collector. Featuring every A-side the label released during those nine years, as well as several B-sides, the set is a definitive portrait of gritty, deep Southern soul. Many ... see all copies from $83.69! new only from $85.66!
2	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $58.59! new only from $77.25!
3	Teenage Crush, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Twenty-eight more of what Ace refers to as "rockaballads" from the late '50s and early '60s -- that is, the very poppiest and most ballad-oriented shade of early rock & roll, or tracks that are essentially pop songs but had enough rock or teen idol influence to appeal to a teen audience. It's a bit hard to figure which fans might want to pick this ... see all copies from $12.60! new only from $17.09!
4	Glory of Love: '50s Sweet & Soulful Love Songs (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino has the Smooth Grooves series, and The Right Stuff does Slow Jams; Hip-O enters the fray of romantic soul ballad compilations with their Glory of Love collections, with separate volumes devoted to the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s...There are no liner notes, and most of the selections have been anthologized several times over, both on vinyl ... see all copies from $4.96!
5	Ivory Joe Hunter (1957) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter see all copies from $3.05! new only from $6.59!
6	Since I Met You Baby (1988) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter A skilled songwriter and nimble pianist, and possessing an emotive, velvet voice that prefigured Nat King Cole and other such crooners, Ivory Joe Hunter was instrumental in bringing R&B to an uptown audience in the late '40s. He almost repeated the trick in the mid-'50s for the then-emerging rock & roll style (although it took uptown audiences a ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $4.88!
7	King R&B Box Set (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $25.89! new only from $43.96!
8	50's Soul (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Rebound's '50s Soul contains nine songs (eight on cassette), all of which were quite popular at the end of the '50s. It's a good mix of classic hits and excellent lesser-known singles, all of which adds up to a fun, worthwhile budget-line disc. Among the featured songs are the Platters' "Only You," James Brown's "Please, Please, Please," Dinah ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Woo Wee! The King & DeLuxe Acetate Series (2006) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter While Ivory Joe Hunter is most famous for his 1950s recordings for MGM and Atlantic, some of his earliest (though not his very first) R&B hits were done in the late 1940s for the King label. Woo Wee! The King & DeLuxe Acetate Series is a 26-track compilation which has several of them, including "I Like It," "Guess Who," and "I Quit My Pretty Mama. ... see all copies from $14.39! new only from $22.95!
10	Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop, Vol. 1: The Greatest Songs From Early Rock 'n' Roll (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This three-CD box set contains 66 tracks taken from various schools of the first decade (or so) of rock & roll: doo wop, girl group, rockabilly, early soul, light pop/rock, New Orleans R&B, and more. For the most part they were big hits, though one or two things you'll rarely if ever hear on oldies radio are thrown in, like Little Richard's "True, ... see all copies from $28.99! new only from $43.67!
11	Everybody's Favorite Blues (1964) more music like this by Various Artists A straight-up reissue of an old '50s King album, itself a collection of old singles issued on the label's various subsidiaries over the years. John Lee Hooker ("Don't You Remember Me"), Roy "Baldhead" Byrd ("Gone So Long"), Jimmy Witherspoon ("Lucille"), and Ivory Joe Hunter ("Changing Blues") are the big names here, but solid, down-home tracks ... see all copies from $7.71! new only from $7.71!
12 view cover	The King Sides, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter The King Sides, Vol. 1 features 25 tracks recorded during Ivory Joe Hunter's brief tenure with the Cincinnati-based King label from 1948-1949. While most are familiar with Hunter's smooth ballads like "Since I Met You Baby" recorded for Atlantic in the mid-'50s, these songs find Ivory Joe singing and playing piano on swinging midtempo jump tunes ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $16.37!

14 view cover	Jumping at the Dew Drop (1999) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter A European import slab of vinyl offering an overview of Hunter's 1947-1952 pre-Atlantic days. Emphasis on jump entries ("Are You Hep?," "She's a Killer," "We're Gonna Boogie," "Old Man's Boogie") is a welcome change-of-pace from Hunter's better-known propensity for velvety blues ballads. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.82! new only from $16.39!
15 view cover	Birth of Rhythm & Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists While rhythm & blues has a pedigree stretching back to the dawn of the 20th century, it was only in the late '30s that smaller groups began jumping with the energy of swing and the spirit of the blues. The Birth of Rhythm & Blues, a three-disc box from Golden Stars, trawls through the subsequent decade and casts a wide net over the jazz, blues, ... see all copies from $9.45! new only from $19.32!
16 view cover	An Introduction to Ivory Joe Hunter (2006) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter With his smooth voice and measured piano style, Ivory Joe Hunter's moderate R&B sound was perfect for bridging the line between that genre and early rock & roll, and while he is best remembered for his bluesy ballad style, he could amp things up on occasion, as well. This set is a little too scattered to really be a good introduction to Hunter, ... see all copies from $3.79!
17 view cover	Ivory Joe Hunter/Sings the Old and the New (1999) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter Don't let the 28 tracks fool you; Collectables doesn't attempt a thorough overview of Ivory Joe Hunter's five-decade recording career, which spanned from the '30s to the '70s. These 28 tracks chronicle the Texas-born purveyor of West Coast blues' '50s stint with Atlantic Records. For some artists it can be done, but trying to cover Hunter's output ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $7.98!
18 view cover	Texas Music, Vol. 1: Postwar Blues Combos (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Texas blues is harder to define and pigeonhole than, say, Chicago electric blues, or Mississippi Delta country blues. In general terms, the Texas blues of the immediate post-war era often featured hard-driving, jazzy guitar lines, a jump blues influence, occasional brass, and a generally lighter, sunnier attitude than its more famous Chicago ... see all copies from $15.91!
19 view cover	Shag Spectacular (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This compilation features British-produced latter-day tracks featuring a number of former Motown artists. Originally released on Motor City Records, these sides aren't bad, they just aren't the real deal; and they're pricey - an authentic CD of originals cost less. But Motown afficionados will enjoy listening to these vocalists prove that they've ... see all copies from $7.95!
20 view cover	Jukebox Hits 1945-1950 (2006) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter see all copies from $8.06! new only from $17.79!
21 view cover	16 of His Greatest Hits (1958) more music like this by Ivory Joe Hunter Other than ruining his 1949 smash "Guess Who" entirely with hideous stereo overdubs, King has done pretty well by the pianist on this collection of his post-war output for the Cincinnati firm. Hunter was primarily in a sentimental blues ballad bag back then, some of his hits displaying a tinge of country influence. Sound quality is okay if not ... see all copies from $7.13! new only from $7.13!
22 view cover	The Very Best of the King/Federal/Deluxe Years, Vol. 1 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This is the real deal. Raw and ready to rock, all the artists compiled here put the pedal all the way to the metal and let it rock. And when they aren't rocking, they are tearing your heart out with a sobbing ballad. Kicking off with the original version of "The Twist" by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters and ending an hour later with the Drivers' ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
23 view cover	1949: The R&B Hits (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 1949 was defining year for music in general, its first year back in full force after World War II and the musician union's ban on recording in 1948. It was also the first year that African-American record charts were called "rhythm & blues" instead of "race" charts. It was the end of the big band era; Louis Jordan was at his peak, and the ... see all copies from $14.94!
24 view cover	Ultimate 50's R&B Smashes (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Released to celebrate Atlantic's 50th anniversary, Ultimate '50s R&B Smashes is a budget-priced, 14-track collection that culls highlights from the Atlantic vaults.
