1	The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ... see all copies from $16.03! new only from $20.31!
2	The Best of the Staple Singers [Stax] (1990) more music like this by The Staple Singers The best and most famous cuts from their glory years at Stax. Includes their massive hits "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There"; less famous but similar gospel-funk fusions like "Touch a Hand (Make a Friend)" and "Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na-Boom Boom)"; and less expected items like a cover of "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." It does ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $14.39!
3	Let's Do It Again (1975) more music like this by The Staple Singers As Stax neared bankruptcy, the Staples signed with Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label for this soundtrack album. The title track was a number-one hit and "New Orleans" reached number 70, returning the Staples to the upper echelons of the charts for the last time. Rob Bowman, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.66! new only from $12.66!
4	The Very Best of the Staple Singers [Stax] (2007) more music like this by The Staple Singers Back in 1990, when the Fantasy Records conglomerate owned the Stax imprint, they issued a 16-cut Best of the Staple Singers. Fast forward to 2007 and the label, Fantasy and all its associated labels -- Riverside, Milestone, Prestige, etc -- are owned by Concord. This later issue of Very Best of the Staple Singers contains four more songs than the ... see all copies from $7.09! new only from $7.09!
5	Jammed Together (1988) more music like this by Steve Cropper/Pop Staples/Albert King While this is not nearly as essential as some other Stax wax, it has a loose, raffish appeal and never falls into the murk of a boring super-session chopsfest. These guys were simply havin' fun with some standard soul/R&B covers (e.g. "What'd I Say," "Baby What You Want Me To Do") and some wide-open originals, kickin' back with some serious riffin ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
6	The 25th Day of December (1962) more music like this by The Staple Singers This set is the honest to goodness real deal, an undeniably great Christmas album that not only includes simple but striking arrangements of several holiday classics but also plays and feels very much like an album of tracks that really belong together, and it builds as it goes into a striking and powerful listen. Recorded in 1962 at Universal ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $6.78!
7	Be What You Are (1973) more music like this by The Staple Singers By the early '70s, despite a roster that included the Dramatics and Isaac Hayes, Stax Records was winding down. The Staple Singers, signed to the label in the late '60s, always provided hit singles and respected album efforts. Despite their gospel beginnings, the Staple Singers' biggest draws became Pops Staples' blues-based "devil's music" guitar ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $10.44!
8	The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The first Stax-Volt box was a monolith, standing as the definitive document of the labels and, therefore, gritty Southern soul. Its sequel, The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 is considerably more problematic. Covering only four years compared to its predecessor, which showcased nine years, Vol. 2 contains 216 tracks, including ... see all copies from $107.36! new only from $107.36!
9	City in the Sky (1974) more music like this by The Staple Singers City in the Sky, the final LP that the Staple Singers made with Stax Records, features the same socially conscious lyrics and powerful singing that had become their trademark before the album's 1974 release. While the original recording didn't have the kind of explosive singles like "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There" that helped them ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.78!
10	Turning Point (1984) more music like this by The Staple Singers The last of the truly great gospel sides by this seminal family folk-gospel outfit. Opal Louis Nations, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.97!
11 view cover	Great Day (1991) more music like this by The Staple Singers This two-album Fantasy reissue is an anthology of the material the Staples recorded for Riverside between 1960 and 1963. For Riverside, the Staples recorded mostly gospel but the shouting was toned down a bit. A few modern-day "message" songs make their way into their repertoire as well, including Bob Dylan's "Masters of War." Not quite as ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Stax Story (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The legendary Memphis soul label Stax's legacy is well-represented by this four-CD box set, which manages to do what many similar box retrospectives don't. That is to provide a well-balanced overview of a genre of music that mixes the essential hits with many noteworthy yet lesser-known singles and rarities, coming about as close as possible to ... see all copies from $39.36! new only from $39.36!
13 view cover	The Best of the Vee-Jay Years (2007) more music like this by The Staple Singers Since the Staple Singers are best known for their hits as a secular soul act on Stax in the late '60s and the 1970s, general fans should be advised that The Best of the Vee-Jay Years includes only gospel material, released for Vee-Jay (in 1956-1961) long before they moved to Stax. If you're aware of this and are simply looking for a good single ... see all copies from $13.53! new only from $13.53!
14 view cover	Uncloudy Day [Koch International] (2002) more music like this by The Staple Singers see all copies from $12.25!
15 view cover	Peace to the Neighborhood/Father Father (2006) more music like this by Roebuck "Pops" Staples This Acadia Records release combines Pop Staples' two solo albums, 1992's Peace to the Neighborhood and 1994's Father Father, on one disc. Both albums were recorded when Staples was well into his seventies, so his voice wasn't quite what it used to be, having been reduced to a Curtis Mayfield-like quaver, but that isn't really a drawback since it ... see all copies from $28.85! new only from $28.85!
16 view cover	Peace to the Neighborhood (1992) more music like this by Pops Staples The septuagenarian Pop Staples puts a lot of younger performers to shame with his integrity-laden solo release Peace to the Neighbourhood. The founder of The Staples Singers combines joyous soul and gospel with swampy funk and blues. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have the rest of The Staples, and admirers Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Ry ... see all copies from $2.54! new only from $10.79!
17 view cover	Be Altitude: Respect Yourself (1972) more music like this by The Staple Singers The Staples' finest single album, containing three Top Ten R&B hits, "Respect Yourself," "I'll Take You There," and "This World." The first two also were pop Top 20s, "I'll Take You There" going all the way to number one. Rob Bowman, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
18 view cover	Glory! It's the Staple Singers (2002) more music like this by The Staple Singers Although not as well known as their later recordings for the Stax, Riverside and Epic labels, the Staple Singers' early sides for Chicago's Vee Jay Records may well be the most powerful they ever did. Driven by Pops Staples' stark, Delta-infused guitar style all awash in eerie reverb and given a laser-like urgency by Mavis Staples' amazing singing ... see all copies from $15.69! new only from $15.69!
19 view cover	The Staple Swingers (1971) more music like this by The Staple Singers The Staples' first album produced by Al Bell and recorded in Muscle Shoals hit the winning formula. Other changes saw Pervis Staples departing just before the album was recorded and being replaced by sister Yvonne Staples. Everything was now in place for the Staples' golden years. Three songs, "Heavy Makes You Happy," "Love Is Plentiful," and "You ... see all copies from $6.09! new only from $14.04!
20 view cover	The Staple Singers (1985) more music like this by The Staple Singers see all copies from $4.42! new only from $4.42!
21 view cover	Respect Yourself (1990) more music like this by The Staple Singers see all copies from $2.00! new only from $22.95!
22 view cover	Soul Folk in Action (1968) more music like this by The Staple Singers This is one you are probably going to have to search out, but this gem is worth all the effort. First, take the stunning voices of the Staple Singers, with the closely blending harmonies that can only come from the years of a family singing together. Put in the crack vibrato guitar of Pops (he was a blues player early on), add in a top-notch ... see all copies from $7.40! new only from $7.40!
23 view cover	We'll Get Over (1970) more music like this by The Staple Singers Their second Stax release was similar to Soul Folk in Action. The album's highlight is Randall Stewart's "When Will We Be Paid?" Rob Bowman, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
24 view cover	Pray On (1968) more music like this by The Staple Singers The Staple Singers recorded ten 78s over a four-year period for Chicago's Vee Jay. These have been reissued countless times in various forms. The Charly CD is simply the most recent. For Vee-Jay, the Staples recorded a number of Pops Staples originals as well as radical rearrangements of standards. Pops Staples and Mavis Staples shared the lead ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $2.25!
25 view cover	Still on Target: The First Five Years (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Still on Target: The First Five Years chronicles the beginnings of Pointblank Records, one of the most popular blues record labels of the early '90s. Pointblank's roster includes veterans like Albert Collins, Isaac Hayes, and Johnny Winter, as well as newer artists like Terrell, Duke Robillard, and the Kinsey Report. All of those artists, and a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
