1	Capitol Collectors Series (1991) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist What Louis Prima accomplished musically in the company of Sam Butera and the Witnesses and vocalist Keely Smith is in hard evidence on this excellent 26-track compilation. All the classics are aboard with excellent liner notes from Scott Shea and crisp transfers of the original masters ("Angelina-Zooma Zooma," "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got You ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $9.99!
2	The Best of the Nat King Cole Trio: The Vocal Classics, Vol. 1 (1942-1946) (1995) more music like this by Nat King Cole add to wishlist Originally released in August 1968, The Best Of Nat "King" Cole (Capitol 2944) was reissued in 1980 (Capitol 16036). ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.29! new only from $13.29!
3	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 collects more early-'40s pop favorites like Dinah Shore's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," Roy Rogers' "San Fernando Valley," and Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe." More overtly war-themed songs such as Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra's "When My Man Comes Home," Louis Jordan's "Ration ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
4	People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-disc, 70-track (30 of them new to the CD era) collection of murder ballads and disaster songs originally released on commercial 78s between 1913 and 1938 is, in spite of the archaic song structures and often crude sonic qualities on display, strangely contemporary in tone and feel, maybe because we've always been drawn to the scene of ... see all copies from $36.92! new only from $36.92!
5	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $78.64! new only from $78.64!
6	Cosimo Matassa Story (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Although he's far from a household name, it's hard to imagine the existence of New Orleans R&B without Cosimo Matassa. As owner and engineer at J&M Studios, housed in a reworked grocery store on Rampart Street, Matassa saw the birth of R&B, rock & roll, and soul pass through his doors between 1945 and 1956, and he was responsible for the early ... see all copies from $20.37! new only from $20.37!
7	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.54!
8	The Wildest! [Expanded] (1957) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $7.96!
9	Northern Exposure (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $4.99! new only from $5.90!
10	Further Definitions (1966) more music like this by Benny Carter & His Orchestra add to wishlist This essential single-CD combines altoist/arranger Benny Carter's classic Further Definitions with the related Additions to Further Definitions. The former set was a revisit, instrumentation-wise, to the famous 1937 session that Carter and tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins made in France with two top European saxophonists (Andre Ekyan and Alix ... see all copies from $3.94! new only from $10.43!
11	Krupa & Rich (1955) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Although drummers Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich are pictured together on this CD's cover, they actually only play together on one selection, a lengthy "Bernie's Tune." The first five performances (with two songs apiece for Rich and Krupa) also feature short solos from trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge, tenors Flip Phillips and Illinois ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $12.51!
12	I Wish You Love (1957) more music like this by Keely Smith add to wishlist Although known primarily as one-time partner and wife to Louis Prima (vocals), Keely Smith (vocals) also had a measurable amount of success on her own. I Wish You Love was not only the title of her debut long-player, it quickly became one of her signature pieces as well. By the end of the 1950s, the team of Prima and Smith were among the hottest ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.28!
13	Jazz Giant (1958) more music like this by Benny Carter add to wishlist Benny Carter had already been a major jazz musician for nearly 30 years when he recorded this particularly strong septet session for Contemporary. With notable contributions from tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, trombonist Frank Rosolino and guitarist Barney Kessel, Carter (who plays a bit of trumpet on "How Can You Lose") is in superb form on a set ... see all copies from $6.52! new only from $8.16!
14	Jim Dandy (2006) more music like this by LaVern Baker add to wishlist Sexy, sensual, and a dynamite singer, LaVern Baker brought style and substance to her jazzy jump blues material, transforming it to the edge of rock & roll and paving the way for the pop-soul styles of the 1960s. Her best work was on Atlantic Records, the label she signed with in 1953 after first recording as Little Miss Sharecropper for RCA ... see all copies from $2.21! new only from $3.08!
15	The Complete Imperial Recordings: 1950-1954 (1991) more music like this by T-Bone Walker add to wishlist Another essential T-Bone Walker collection, Complete Imperial Recordings: 1950-1954 is a two-disc dish with 52 sensational tracks from his stint at Lew Chudd's Imperial Records label. Whether waxing with his own jump blues unit in L.A. or Dave Bartholomew's hard-drivers in New Orleans, Walker always stayed true to his vision, and the proof was in ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $8.87!
16	Lackawanna Blues (2005) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack companion to an HBO film directed by George C. Wolf and based on Ruben Santiago-Hudson's acclaimed one man show (Santiago-Hudson wrote the screenplay adaptation and appears in the film) about a black youth coming of age in upstate New York in the early 1960s, Lackawanna Blues mixes new material by Mos Def, Robert Bradley and Macy ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $15.65!
17	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Louis Prima & Keely Smith add to wishlist see all copies from $3.85! new only from $3.85!
18	An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ... see all copies from $10.63! new only from $10.63!
19	Dona Got a Ramblin Mind (2006) more music like this by Carolina Chocolate Drops add to wishlist To say that Carolina Chocolate Drops are an anomaly in the 21st century would be a huge understatement. Here are three twenty-something African-Americans playing a brand of acoustic, banjo- and fiddle-driven string band music that is nearly extinct today, and in fact peaked in the pre-WWII era. Although a number of Southern-bred black string bands ... see all copies from $9.13! new only from $10.49!
20	R+B = Ruth Brown (1997) more music like this by Ruth Brown add to wishlist Ruth Brown's lengthy career has taken her from the Apollo Theater to Broadway. One of the original rhythm & blues superstars, she has emerged on the other side as one of the genre's most beloved singers. On this outing, producer Scott Billington returns Brown to her roots in the company of a superb New Orleans band, surrounds her with stellar ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $15.19!
21	The Nat King Cole Trio Recordings, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Nat King Cole Trio add to wishlist The first of five CDs featuring Nat King Cole (all are available as part of a five-CD box set), this release from the budget label Laserlight contains 15 concise performances from the Trio on radio transcriptions from 1944-45. Each of the tracks is enjoyable with "What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry," "How High the Moon" and "Sweet Lorraine" ... see all copies from $1.99!
22	Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Essential (2007) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist see all copies from $4.55! new only from $4.55!
23	Backwater Blues (1999) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee add to wishlist Songs of whiskey, women, and money -- nothing was more important to the repertoire of this classic acoustic blues duo. Good relations on stage were not, but during this 18-tune club date at Sugar Hill in San Francisco, Terry and McGhee are in good spirits. The former's fingerpicking, good-time guitar strummin', and even-keeled singing, joined by ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
24	Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues, 1945-1970 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Issued to coincide with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's historic exhibit of the same name, this two-CD set is a treasure-trove of hits, misses, rarities, and smoking grooves. Certainly Nash Vegas is the capital of country music, but in its day it also boasted a wealth of stomping rhythm and blues music that flourished in the city for ... see all copies from $15.16! new only from $15.16!
25	Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow/Live at Small's Paradise (2000) more music like this by King Curtis add to wishlist This Collectables reissue combines two King Curtis albums originally released on Atco. Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow is from 1959 and Live at Small's Paradise from 1966. This is fun soul instrumental music of its time but occasionally generic, highlighted by the two separate versions of the "Peter Gunn Theme." ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.88! new only from $9.88!
