1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss 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 $9.85! new only from $16.28!
2	Come Away with Me (2002) more music like this by Norah Jones 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 $6.00! new only from $8.91!
3	Amos Lee (2005) more music like this by Amos Lee With a dusky soul voice and a knack for literate, thoughtful lyrics, singer/songwriter Amos Lee is a throwback to a more organic-sounding pop time period. Calling to mind a mix of Bill Withers, Arthur Lee, and James Taylor, Lee croons through his mellow eponymous debut with a singular sense of his time and place that adds weight to his already ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $15.81!
4	Coco (2007) more music like this by Colbie Caillat Sweetness rules on Colbie Caillat's debut, Coco, which is perhaps only appropriate for an album bearing that name, but the record doesn't play like a toasty mug of chocolate on a winter's day, 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 with ... see all copies from $11.63! new only from $11.63!
5	Feels Like Home (2004) more music like this by Norah Jones 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 $6.00! new only from $16.64!
6	Wide Open Spaces (1998) more music like this by Dixie Chicks 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 $10.79!
7	Into the Wild (2007) more music like this by Eddie Vedder see all copies from $11.54! new only from $11.54!
8	Kill to Get Crimson (2007) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Given that Kill to Get Crimson follows Mark Knopfler's yearlong collaboration with Emmylou Harris -- inaugurated by the album All the Roadrunning and followed by a tour, subsequently documented on the live set Real Live Roadrunning -- it might be reasonable to presume that it bears a slightly heavier folk influence, as if Emmylou had rubbed off on ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $8.30!
9	Baby Beluga (1980) more music like this by Raffi 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 $3.24! new only from $13.71!
10	Live at Blues Alley (1997) more music like this by Eva Cassidy The late Eva Cassidy gained a loyal following in the Washington, D.C., area through appearances in small clubs, utilizing her pitch-perfect singing voice to interpret a variety of tunes ranging from standards to modern-era pop songs. A notoriously shy performer, Eva Cassidy had a somewhat stiff stage presence, but she endeared herself to her ... see all copies from $14.83! new only from $14.83!
11 view cover	O (2003) more music like this by Damien Rice 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 $16.65! new only from $16.65!
12 view cover	Living With Ghosts (1996) more music like this by Patty Griffin Patty Griffin's major-label debut was actually recorded as a demo cassette. A&M executives were so impressed with this raw display of talent that they snatched up the tape and threw it, unaltered, into the marketplace. Griffin recorded her songs exactly as she performed them live, armed with only her acoustic guitar and a voice that can rattle ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
13 view cover	West (2007) more music like this by Lucinda Williams The title of West reflects the change in Lucinda Williams' life as she moved to Los Angeles. It also reflects what had been left behind. Williams is nothing if not a purely confessional songwriter. She continually walks in the shadowlands to bring out what is both most personal yet universal in her work, to communicate to listeners directly and ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $13.27!
14 view cover	Not Too Late (2007) more music like this by Norah Jones 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 $5.66! new only from $5.66!
15 view cover	Time After Time (2000) more music like this by Eva Cassidy Eva Cassidy has achieved worldwide acclaim as a peerless interpreter of tunes ranging from Sting's "Fields of Gold" to standards such as "Over the Rainbow" (both of which appear on the 1998 release Songbird). Sadly, Eva Cassidy passed away on November 2, 1996, following a battle with cancer. She was only 33 years old. Her pristine singing voice ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $12.50!
16 view cover	Children Running Through (2007) more music like this by Patty Griffin Patty Griffin's raucous second album Flaming Red was a shocking departure from the critically noticed Living with Ghosts. It placed solid, searing rock & roll and big bad drumbeat up against the still developing authority of her voice. On Impossible Dream she married country and her own brand of gospel in an intimate and musically seductive mix. ... see all copies from $12.71! new only from $14.22!
17 view cover	The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary [Warner/Rhino] (2005) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary 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 $16.65! new only from $16.65!
18 view cover	You Are My Little Bird (2006) more music like this by Elizabeth Mitchell Most commercial children's music seems to be made under the assumption that youngsters are incapable of appreciating subtlety and need to be aurally slapped about the face with melodic and lyrical repetition in order to make sense of what they're hearing. Elizabeth Mitchell is an educator and musician who thankfully knows better; as the lead ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
19 view cover	Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (1967) more music like this by Bob Dylan 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 $4.99! new only from $11.06!
20 view cover	Diamonds & Rust (1975) more music like this by Joan Baez With the Vietnam War winding down, Joan Baez, who had devoted one side of her last album to her trip to Hanoi, delivered the kind of commercial album A&M Records must have wanted when it signed her three years earlier. But she did it on her own terms, putting together a session band of contemporary jazz veterans like Larry Carlton, Wilton Felder, ... see all copies from $4.68! new only from $8.66!
21 view cover	Essential Bob Dylan (2000) more music like this by Bob Dylan 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 $20.82! new only from $20.82!
22 view cover	Live (2002) more music like this by Alison Krauss & Union Station Given Alison Krauss' tremendous popularity and her status as the first female bluegrass singer to cross over into genuine pop marketability, and given the fact that her guitarist, Dan Tyminski, is the voice behind "Man of Constant Sorrow" (or at least the version that served as an idée fixe in the blockbuster movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?), ... see all copies from $13.85! new only from $13.85!
23 view cover	Drastic Fantastic (2007) more music like this by KT Tunstall After the surprise international success of her 2005 debut, Eye to the Telescope, there were two ways that KT Tunstall could have gone: she could have succumbed to its sleepy, serious undercurrents, bringing herself closer to Dido, or she could have pursued the brighter, poppier inclinations of its singles "Black Horse & the Cherry Tree" and ... see all copies from $16.64! new only from $16.64!
24 view cover	The Singable Songs Collection (1997) more music like this by Raffi 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 $23.19! new only from $23.19!
25 view cover	Little Voice (2007) more music like this by Sara Bareilles For her first major outing Little Voice, Sara Bareilles puts forth an intimate, emotionally charged album that sounds remarkably polished for a fledgling self-taught songwriter/performer. In fact, her voice even stands up to professionally trained pop divas like Christina Aguilera. Her only potential downfall is that she fits so perfectly in the ... see all copies from $12.40! new only from $12.52!
