1	Between the Lines (1975) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist This is Janis Ian's second album from her re-emergence in the early to mid-'70s as one of the genre's most inspired and original singer/songwriters. While this title houses Ian's biggest international hit, the confessional "At Seventeen," the entire effort combines her honest and confessional lyrics with an equally engaging blend of pop/rock and ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $4.75!
2	Hunger (1997) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.75!
3	Breaking Silence (1993) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist Breaking Silence finds Ian ditching her past waifishness for a confident, mature, contemporary acoustic approach relying mostly on spare guitar and piano textures. Opening with "All Roads to the River" (also recorded by John Mellencamp), Breaking Silence includes among its highlights the Holocaust-survivor tale "Tattoo" and the dramatic half-a ... see all copies from $5.15!
4	Songs of Protest (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Of course there are too many noteworthy songs of protest to fit onto one collection, even (or especially) if you're limiting yourself to the '60s, as Rhino does on this compilation. Still, it does a good job of mixing monster hits by Barry McGuire, Sonny Bono, Dion, the Kingston Trio, the Temptations, and Edwin Starr with more obscure cuts. ... see all copies from $7.73! new only from $7.73!
5	Lesbian Favorites: Women Like Us (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Lesbian Favorites: Women Like Us is an obvious attempt to cash in on the "lesbian chic" of the '90s -- it's targeted at upscale liberals, not necessarily lesbians, who were raised on the college rock of the late '80s. Not all of the artists featured on this 18-track collection are lesbian, but most of them are favorites of lesbians, and a few are ... see all copies from $4.12!
6	Casey Kasem Presents: America's Top Ten - The 70's Singer/Songwriters (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A spin-off of Casey Kasem's longstanding radio program, America's Top 10 is another series collecting radio favorites into easily-digestible packages. This particular installment focuses on the singer/songwriter craze of the 1970s. While it doesn't dig very deep, it's packed with hits, making it suitable for the casual fan. Highlights include "It ... see all copies from $13.12! new only from $13.12!
7	The Carols of Christmas, Vol. 2: A Windham Hill Sampler (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This set of mostly guitar versions of holiday favorites is a bit different from what one might expect, primarily because the roster isn't what one would expect from Windham Hill. Sure, there's Liz Story and Jim Brickman doing solo piano pieces, but there's Toto's Steve Lukather performing "O Tannenbaum," guitar god Steve Morse doing "It Came Upon ... see all copies from $2.59! new only from $29.95!
8	Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 15 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
9	Jukebox Hits of 1967, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Jukebox Hits of 1967, Vol. 1 collects some of the year's most memorable pop and rock hits, including the Monkees' "Daydream Believer," Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is," Brenton Wood's "Gimme a Little Sign," the Left Banke's "Pretty Ballerina," and Leslie Gore's "California Nights." Songs by Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, ... see all copies from $13.51! new only from $19.10!
10	Live: Working Without a Net (2003) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist With no more than a guitar and a song, Janis Ian's live set probably strikes the average listener as typical folk music. Technically speaking, however, Ian arrived on the scene just as the folk revival was burning out in the mid-'60s, and she can more properly be seen as a singer/songwriter. Some confusion undoubtedly existed thanks to "Society's ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $9.35!
11	In Their Own Words, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In Their Own Words was the name of a series of performances at New York's Bottom Line, where singer-songwriters gathered in a roundtable, performed their own songs and told stories about their compositions; occasionally, they also performed covers, and described how the songs influenced their own work. Razor & Tie released highlights from these ... see all copies from $24.50!
12	Miracle Row (1977) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist Singer/songwriter Janis Ian followed up her understated masterwork Aftertones (1976) with this long-player, which includes some equally engaging and varied material. Although she'd eventually return to using studio heavies for the remainder of her '70s and early-'80s output, Miracle Row (1977) prominently features Ian's touring band, which ... see all copies from $5.20! new only from $39.75!
13	Madd: Honor Them All (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Madd: Honor Them All is a benefit album for Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The record concentrates on new age, soft rock and adult contemporary artists, such as Carly Simon, America, Lorrie Morgan, Janis Ian, Tuck & Patti, Jim Brickman, the Rippingtons, Carole King, Yanni, Liz Story and Brian Wilson. Most of the songs are previously released, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14	Aftertones (1975) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist On Aftertones, Janis Ian (guitar/piano/vocals) continued the artistic, and to a lesser extent, the commercial success she garnered on her previous effort Between The Lines (1975). Once again, she assembled some of the finest session musicians from the Big Apple to animate her intimately sensitive sonic portraits and caricatures. Although Ian would ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $39.75!
15	Janis Ian [1978] (2003) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist see all copies from $3.99! new only from $15.00!
16	Folk Is the New Black (2006) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist A new Janis Ian album with a title like Folk Is the New Black, with all due respect, is not only ridiculous, it's just plain wrong. Ian has been on the militant side of things all her life, so it should come as no surprise, but it's difficult to separate the music from the cultural provocateur. Musically, Folk is one of the best things Ian's ... see all copies from $2.81! new only from $15.65!
17	Present Company (1971) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist This could accurately be described as Janis Ian's first comeback album. After four Verve albums during her teenage years, as well as the hit single "Society's Child," Ian struggled through her remaining albums for the label, battling indifferent record executives and A&R people. Although quite low in spirit and somewhat depressing, those final ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $13.44!
18	The Bottom Line Encore Collection (1999) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist A showcase for her virtuoso guitar playing, with some interesting interview segments (though it would be debatable how many times one would need to play those back), this is a trip through Ian's back pages and is her first ever live album available in the U.S. (recorded at New York's Bottom Line in 1980). Accompanied by a crack, three piece who ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.96!
19	God & the FBI (2000) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist It's been many years since she learned the truth "At Seventeen," but the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist -- who tackles guitars, keyboards, upright bass, and even banjo here -- is still a sharp lyricist who makes her points amid a stylistically diverse playground. Thank God her lyrics don't run as ridiculously stream of consciousness ... see all copies from $3.97! new only from $17.49!
20	New Woman (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
21	Best of Broadside 1962-1988 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist From the early '60s to the late '80s, Broadside magazine printed numerous topical songs by contemporary writers, in addition to articles and commentary. By far the most influential years of its life span were the earliest ones, in the early to mid-'60s, when it helped steer the folk movement toward original material that directly addressed modern ... see all copies from $24.31! new only from $24.31!
22	Night Rains (1979) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist see all copies from $7.49!
23	A Love Worth Fighting For (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $5.99!
24	Uncle Wonderful (1983) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist A Janis Ian dance album? Even her most ardent fans couldn't have seen this one coming. Uncle Wonderful -- an Australia-only album from 1984 that was recorded over three years -- sounds like something from Flashdance or Footloose, and as such it's dated rather badly. Drum machines, synthesizers, and Ian's incongruous grand piano all vie for ... see all copies from $13.99! new only from $13.99!
25	Restless Eyes (1981) more music like this by Janis Ian add to wishlist Janis Ian turned to producer Gary Klein and a backup group of L.A. session aces after the commercial failure of Night Rains, and they gave her the kind of pop-rock album that people like Carly Simon turned out regularly. Despite the liner notes by former New York Times music critic Robert Shelton, little here was distinctive, and when the album ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $13.99!
