1	Ballad for Americans (1993) more music like this by Paul Robeson In the absence of a multi-label Paul Robeson box, this 22-song CD is a superb account of the singer's late career, with one major work from his pre-blacklist years represented as well. In the late '50s, Robeson, like the Weavers -- who also were persona non grata at the major labels due to their leftist political views -- began recording for ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $14.22!
2	Songs of Free Men: Recital (1997) more music like this by Paul Robeson Culled from six concerts given in the 1940s, with most of its tracks previously released on 78-rpm albums in that decade, this disc, as annotator Paul Robeson, Jr., notes, presents Paul Robeson at the peak of his singing career (from age 44 to 49) and re-creates a typical recital. Robeson sings spirituals, folk songs from various countries in ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $11.06!
3	Till the Clouds Roll By: The Songs of Jerome Kern (2001) more music like this by Jerome Kern Living Era's tribute to songwriter Jerome Kern touches upon many of his finest melodies with recordings made between 1925 and 1947. The stylistic range, however, seems at times a bit stuffy given Kern's lasting influence upon the jazz world. While Dinah Shore, Connee Boswell and Fred Astaire each perform exquisitely, the genteel inflections of ... see all copies from $12.60! new only from $12.73!
4	On My Journey: Paul Robeson's Independent Recordings (2007) more music like this by Paul Robeson A 20th century renaissance man, Paul Robeson was an actor, singer, writer, scholar, activist, and intellectual with a degree from the Columbia University law school. He also suffered no fools, and his outspoken views on racism and McCarthyism eventually led to his blacklisting in the 1950s, a situation Robeson met with characteristic dignity and ... see all copies from $15.13! new only from $15.13!
5	Paul Robeson Sings "Ol' Man River" & Other Favorites (1972) more music like this by Paul Robeson Unlike many Paul Robeson collections of recordings that have been licensed or otherwise obtained and reissued by small labels, this one comes from EMI and purports to be "a collection of his greatest hits." That isn't strictly true, if only because Robeson had few "hits" in the accepted sense, but the 20-track, hour-long album is a good sampler of ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $15.11!
6	Hits of '32 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Hits Of '32 collects the year's nostalgic pop memories, including "The Song Is You" by Nat Shillkret, Mary Ellis' "I've Told Every Little Star," Carroll Gibbons' "I'll Never Be The Same," Ivie Anderson's "It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing" and Bing Crosby's "Please." Standards like "As Time Goes By" and performances from the Rudy ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
7	Don't Mourn - Organize!: Songs of Labor Songwriter Joe Hill (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The inclusion of Joan Baez's version of "Joe Hill" on the Woodstock album has been single-handedly responsible for keeping Joe Hill in the public consciousness. Sad but true, for Joe Hill, poet, songwriter, and organizer, was the most popular intentionally proletarian artist in American culture. Not an easy feat, especially considering how many ... see all copies from $10.58! new only from $15.42!
8	American Musical Theater: Shows, Songs and Stars, Vol. 2 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.85!
9	Be Thou Now Persuaded: Living in a Shakespearean World (1999) by Various Artists It's more or less accepted that Shakespeare is the greatest writer in English, but this large box set shows he was a really a musician of language.. The speeches and scenes spread over the course of 6 CDs, carefully arranged to cover themes of love, wonder, humanity and death, play like brief symphonic passages. Indeed, in the hands of actors like ... see all copies from $59.98! new only from $59.98!
10	Peace Arch Concerts (1998) more music like this by Paul Robeson These legendary recordings resulted from the most trying of circumstances. In the early '50s, the U.S. government revoked Paul Robeson's passport on the grounds of purported un-American political leanings, effectively blocking a planned 1952 live performance in Canada. Undaunted, Robeson appeared anyway, singing from a flatbed truck parked on the ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $15.35!

Though it's not as comprehensive or diverse as The Essential Paul Robeson, this collection nevertheless delivers most of his best-known ... see all copies from $7.34! new only from $7.34!

15 view cover	Folk Song America, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A collection of recordings from the Smithsonian archives, Folk Song America, Vol. 1 is an extremely interesting album, mostly because of its mix of genuine folk performers and folk revival practitioners who adapted and approached these traditional tunes as art songs and artifacts.
