1	Kenny Rankin Album (1976) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Long before Linda Ronstadt, Natalie Cole, and countless other pop, rock, and soul artists attempted to cover standards, Kenny Rankin did it and with excellent results. Enlisting the arranging talents of Don Costa (Frank Sinatra), Rankin created a lush, romantic album that also maintains the mellow vibes of '70s singer/songwriter pop. Rankin ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $38.65!
2	Professional Dreamer (1994) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Kenny Rankin sings like Chet Baker would have if Baker had had a voice. His tone is high (Rankin's speaking voice is actually fairly low) and he has a subtle, cool style. It is a bit of a surprise, but Rankin (whose previous output has been in pop music) is actually a fine jazz singer. He always sticks to the lyrics when performing veteran ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $26.19!
3	A Song for You (2002) more music like this by Kenny Rankin The great Kenny Rankin makes a subtle shift in stylistic focus on this label debut, titled A Song for You. The recording shows just how rewarding the marriage of songs from the Great American Songbook with the smooth jazz style can be when played by a talent of Rankin's stature. His singing explores new musical trails on such great compositions as ... see all copies from $7.75! new only from $12.95!
4	Peaceful: The Best of Kenny Rankin (1996) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Featuring 20 tracks, Peaceful: The Best of Kenny Rankin is a comprehensive overview of the singer/songwriter's career. Most of the material is drawn Rankin's pop material, not his latter-day jazz interpretations. Rankin never had any hits, but all of his most popular songs are featured on this single-disc set, making it an excellent introduction ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $10.76!
5	Martha Stewart Living: Baby Sleepytime (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This volume of Martha Stewart Living is, not surprisingly, about putting children to bed, so the music is devoted to quiet NPR lullabies, balancing songs by new acoustic merchants like Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, Tuck & Patti, and David Wilcox with adult alt-rock favorites like Barenaked Ladies, Lucinda Williams, and Everything but the Girl, plus ... see all copies from $21.41!
6	Mind-Dusters (1967) more music like this by Kenny Rankin An ideal representation of the acoustic and ethereal side of the early, winsome singer/songwriter sound, this promising debut only hints at Rankin's traditional pop and world music vision. The Tin Pan Alley and ethnic roots of the music he grew up with in New York City are obscured by his alignment with the sounds of some of the artists he covers ... see all copies from $50.00! new only from $50.00!
7	Like a Seed (1972) more music like this by Kenny Rankin On his first Little David release, Rankin almost hits full stride. His reworking of "Peaceful" brought the song, and ultimately Rankin, a wider audience. The album eschews some of the preciousness of previous efforts and has a more universal appeal. Songs like the title cut and "Stringman" spotlight Rankin's continued growth as a songwriter. His ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $30.00!
8	After the Roses (1980) more music like this by Kenny Rankin see all copies from $9.00! new only from $43.86!
9	Silver Morning (1975) more music like this by Kenny Rankin At the height of the singer/songwriter period,Rankin quietly became one of the key voices of the genre. Silver Morning ranks as one of the best and most representative albums of that time. Once again, Rankin does a fine job covering Gordon Lightfoot ("Pussywillows, Cat Tails"), but he really shines on his reworkings of the Beatles' songbook. His ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $60.18!
10	Because of You (1991) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Recording his only CD for the audiophile Chesky label, Rankin moved closer to making a full-blown comeback. His reworking of old favorites such as "Berimbau" and "Haven't We Met," alongside such pop evergreens as "Round' Midnight," "Someone to Watch Over Me," "I Could Write a Book," "Always," and "Because of You," brought some of the old Rankin ... see all copies from $5.66! new only from $16.59!

15	Critics Choice, Vol. 2 by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99!
16 view cover	Inside (1975) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Perhaps his best album, Inside represents the peak of all the different skills Rankin brings to his music. Like Silver Morning, it includes some singular and inspired renditions of other artists' music. While John Sebastian's "She's a Lady" is an obvious choice and works well, two other covers truly spotlight Rankin's remarkable ability to ... see all copies from $47.50!
17 view cover	Holiday Collection, Vol. 1 [Universal] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists MCA Special Products' Holiday Collection, vol. 1 is a hodgepodge of styles and songs, all culled from the MCA vaults. It's an odd selection of material that doesn't always gel into a cohesive listen, but it's fun, considering the budget price. Rodney Batdorf, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.32!
18 view cover	Bottom Line Encore Collection (1999) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Recorded during a 1990 concert at New York's Bottom Line, this album embodies all the ingredients that make Rankin such a great talent. In an age when many artists were successful more for their ability to look sexy or menacing while lip-synching in videos, Rankin brought a host of skills to the musical table. His lush voice, with its lilting ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
19 view cover	Tenth Anniversary Special Edition (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $24.53! new only from $24.53!
20 view cover	Here in My Heart (1997) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Kenny Rankin's 1995 Private Music debut Professional Dreamer perfectly captured the essence of a career spanning 30 years, writing and singing romantic pop classics. This follow-up collection, a decidedly South American flavored jaunt, maintains the simple production of that recording. It's an eclectic, easily percussive set featuring songs by ... see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!

22 view cover	Family (1970) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Rankin's second Mercury release follows in the same musical direction as his debut. Again, there are fine covers of singer/songwriters of the late '60s, including reworkings of music from Gordon Lightfoot, Steve Stills, and Donovan. An ambitious cover of the Bert Jansch classic "Needle of Death" shows off Rankin's guitar skillfulness. "While My ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $37.39!

24	Hiding in Myself (1991) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Returning to recording after nearly eight years, Rankin bounced back with this one and only album for the A&M subsidiary label, Cypress.

The ... see all copies from $7.79! new only from $7.79!
25 view cover	A Song for You [Bonus Track] (2002) more music like this by Kenny Rankin The great Kenny Rankin makes a subtle shift in stylistic focus on this label debut, titled A Song for You.
