1	Come Away with Me (2002) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist Norah Jones' debut on Blue Note is a mellow, acoustic pop affair with soul and country overtones, immaculately produced by the great Arif Mardin. (It's pretty much an open secret that the 22-year-old vocalist and pianist is the daughter of Ravi Shankar.) Jones is not quite a jazz singer, but she is joined by some highly regarded jazz talent: ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.00!
2	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss add to wishlist What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $14.27!
3	Feels Like Home (2004) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist It may be far too obvious to even mention that Norah Jones' follow-up to her 18-million-unit-selling, eight-Grammy-winning, genre-bending, super-smash album Come Away With Me has perhaps a bit too much to live up to. But that's probably the biggest conundrum for Jones: having to follow up the phenomenal success of an album that was never designed ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.82!
4	Songbird (1998) more music like this by Eva Cassidy add to wishlist Though many recording artists meld and straddle a variety of genres, few if any defy categorization by excelling in so many disparate styles as the late Eva Cassidy. The diverse offerings from the evocative thrush from Washington, D.C. -- who died tragically of melanoma in 1996 at age 33 -- run the gamut from the radio-friendly pop cover of Sting ... see all copies from $6.90! new only from $11.88!
5	Ten Years Together: The Best of Peter, Paul and Mary (1970) more music like this by Peter, Paul and Mary add to wishlist For many years, this 13-song collection was the best introduction to Peter, Paul & Mary that one could find. Not only did it contain all of the trio's hits, but it was also, until 2005's Warner/Rhino compilation The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary, the closest thing to a cross-section of the group's sound that existed. From the acoustic folk sound ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.00!
6	The Very Best of Peter, Paul and Mary [Warner/Rhino] (2005) more music like this by Peter, Paul and Mary add to wishlist It speaks well for the continued viability of their catalog (probably second only to Bob Dylan's among '60s folk artists) that this is only the sixth compilation ever done on Peter, Paul & Mary's music in four decades of musical activity -- and since one of the others was a Readers' Digest mail-order release and two of the others were done for ... see all copies from $11.60! new only from $11.60!
7	Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (1967) more music like this by Bob Dylan add to wishlist Arriving in 1967, Greatest Hits does an excellent job of summarizing Dylan's best-known songs from his first seven albums. At just ten songs, it's a little brief, and the song selection may be a little predictable, but that's actually not a bad thing, since this provides a nice sampler for the curious and casual listener, as it boasts standards ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.80!
8	Baby Beluga (1980) more music like this by Raffi add to wishlist From probably the world's most popular whale, this record is a delight. For ages three to eight. ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.69! new only from $12.49!
9	Not Too Late (2007) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist Recoils from fame usually aren't as subdued as Norah Jones' third album, Not Too Late, but such understatement is customary for this gentlest of singer/songwriters. Not Too Late may not be as barbed or alienating as either In Utero or Kid A -- it's not an ornery intensification of her sound nor a chilly exploration of its furthest limits -- but ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $11.08!
10	One Cell In the Sea (2007) more music like this by A Fine Frenzy add to wishlist After a relative dearth of female singer/songwriters (this was, of course, following the outpouring of them during the late-'90s Lilith Fair craze), women started making their way back into the limelight during the early 21st century. Artists like Michelle Branch and KT Tunstall -- even Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson -- found success with their ... see all copies from $4.46! new only from $4.46!
11	Keep It Simple (2008) more music like this by Van Morrison add to wishlist Keep It Simple is a mantra for Van Morrison, as he stripped his music down to the bare basics years ago and then comfortably rode that groove, comprised in equal parts of blues, soul, jazz, and country. Van has been riding this groove so long that it's hard to pinpoint exactly when he settled into it, but looking back, things started to shift in ... see all copies from $4.78! new only from $5.71!
12	Into the Wild (2007) more music like this by Eddie Vedder add to wishlist Eddie Vedder's Into the Wild is a collection of nine original songs and two covers for Sean Penn's film of the same name, based on Jon Krakauer's novel. The novel and film are concerned with the short life of Christopher J. McCandless, an honor student and athlete who literally walked away from his life, donated his 24,000 dollars in savings to ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $9.48!
13	Once: Music from the Motion Picture (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The starring roles in Once, the little movie that could by writer/director John Carney, stars the Frames' Glen Hansard and Czech singer and songwriter Markéta Irglová. The songs, representing those of the character Guy, and his collaborator Girl, are made up of simple and attractive acoustic pop, full of guitars, piano, a small drum kit and ... see all copies from $11.17! new only from $11.17!
14	A Song Will Rise (1965) more music like this by Peter, Paul and Mary add to wishlist By their fifth album, Peter, Paul & Mary had fallen into a consistency of approach that could be viewed as either dependable or predictable. This had the usual assortment of traditional songs ("Motherless Child," "The Cuckoo"), songs that had first gained an audience during prior folk revivals ("Wasn't That a Time"), a bit of original material, ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $8.99!
15	Begin to Hope (2006) more music like this by Regina Spektor add to wishlist On Begin to Hope, Regina Spektor treads a delicate balance between her anti-folk past and her present home on Sire Records. Though the label re-released Soviet Kitsch in 2004, Begin to Hope is Spektor's first original material for Sire, and it feels more like a major-label debut than Soviet Kitsch ever did. The album's big, glossy production and ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $8.55!
16	The Singable Songs Collection (1997) more music like this by Raffi add to wishlist This three-disc set reissued by Rounder Records in 1997 takes children's singer Raffi's first three (and arguably best) albums, Singable Songs for the Very Young, More Singable Songs, and The Corner Grocery Store and More Singable Songs, and packages them all together. The Singable Songs Collections goes through all types of songs -- from ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
17	Wide Open Spaces (1998) more music like this by Dixie Chicks add to wishlist The Dixie Chicks spent the first half of the '90s toiling away on the independent bluegrass circuit, releasing three albums on small labels, before sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Robison decided to revamp their sound in 1995, adding Natalie Maines as their lead singer and, in the process, moving the group away from bluegrass and toward a major ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.93!
18	Till the Sun Turns Black (2006) more music like this by Ray LaMontagne add to wishlist If it weren't for his singing voice, so full of smoke and ether, one would be hard-pressed to believe that Till the Sun Turns Black was made by the same man who recorded Trouble just two years prior to it. Ray LaMontagne takes a brave leap from the rootsy singer/songwriter material of his stellar debut album and goes nearly 180 degrees. Once more ... see all copies from $8.14! new only from $8.14!
19	Some Mad Hope (2007) more music like this by Matt Nathanson add to wishlist Singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson has been playing the college circuit for quite a few years now, impressing coeds with his energetic live show (which often includes a collection of well-known covers) and heartfelt guitar playing. So those already enamored of Nathanson should have no reason for complaint on his second major-label release -- and ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
20	Essential Bob Dylan (2000) more music like this by Bob Dylan add to wishlist A double-disc set released for the holiday season of 2000, The Essential Bob Dylan is a fine choice for the casual listener that just wants all the songs they know on one collection -- it's Dylan's equivalent of Beatles One. Outside of the remastering and the previously non-LP (and very good) "Things Have Changed," there's nothing here for ... see all copies from $7.39! new only from $14.99!
21	O (2003) more music like this by Damien Rice add to wishlist Magnificently packaged in a CD-sized hardcover book filled with personal artwork, lyrics, and photos, Damien Rice's debut full-length, O, is nothing less than a work of genius, a perfect cross between Ryan Adams and David Gray and a true contender for one of the best albums of 2003. This Irish singer/songwriter works with impassioned folk songs ... see all copies from $11.85! new only from $11.85!
22	Greatest Hits (2007) more music like this by Sara Evans add to wishlist Sara Evans wasted no time getting back to what she does best in the music game after her divorce. While it's true that this is a compilation released just a week after the messy event was final, this set arrived and four of its 14 cuts are new tracks. There are some real problems with assembling a collection like this: for starters it contains not ... see all copies from $5.55! new only from $9.44!
23	Coco (2007) more music like this by Colbie Caillat add to wishlist Sweetness rules on Colbie Caillat's debut, Coco, which is perhaps only appropriate for an album bearing that name. The record doesn't play like a toasty mug of chocolate on a winter's day, though; it's a sugary lemonade on a breezy summer afternoon. It's light and comforting, a familiar blend of sunny pop and singer/songwriter tropes that flirt ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $10.45!
24	New Favorite (2001) more music like this by Alison Krauss & Union Station add to wishlist Following the success of the startlingly popular traditional old-timey soundtrack for the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, contemporary bluegrass pioneers Alison Krauss & Union Station moved in the opposite direction for their 2001 release, New Favorite. While Krauss and Union Station guitarist/vocalist Dan Tyminski got deeply in touch with their ... see all copies from $5.44! new only from $14.56!
25	The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan [Remastered] (2003) more music like this by Bob Dylan add to wishlist It's hard to overestimate the importance of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, the record that firmly established Dylan as an unparalleled songwriter, one of considerable skill, imagination, and vision. At the time, folk had been quite popular on college campuses and bohemian circles, making headway onto the pop charts in diluted form, and while there ... see all copies from $2.77! new only from $5.35!
