1	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Al Jolson (2001) more music like this by Al Jolson After recording successfully in the 1910s and being the top solo artist of the 1920s (according to chart researcher Joel Whitburn), Al Jolson stopped making records for 12½ years between 1932 and 1945, when he was lured back into the studio by Decca just prior to the comeback he scored due to the film biography The Jolson Story in 1946. He cut 71 ... see all copies from $7.26! new only from $8.66!
2	Good for What Ails You: Music of the Medicine Show (2005) more music like this by Various Artists The American medicine show came into its own shortly after the Civil War with the rise of so-called patent medicines and the almost complete lack of regulations concerning the ingredients that went into them, and any number of noxious tonics, elixirs, and nostrums with trumpeted healing powers were hawked by silver-tongued pitch doctors to the ... see all copies from $19.11! new only from $25.42!
3	You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet (1975) more music like this by Al Jolson When he started making records well before the First World War, Al Jolson was a brilliant comedian capable of disarming patter, skillful mimicry, and vaudevillian finesse. This Living Era compilation covers a timeline from 1913 to 1942, perhaps fortunately stopping short of Jolson's brassy late-'40s comeback material. Recorded variously in Chicago ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $20.00!

5	The Very Best of Al Jolson [Pearl] (2002) more music like this by Al Jolson While some may with good reason prefer his earliest recorded performances (a mysterious body of work comprising the true and magical heart of the Jolson legacy), Al Jolson's Decca recordings from 1945-1949 represent the mature culmination of decades spent perfecting one of the best-known acts in all of show business. Listening through 28 tracks ... see all copies from $13.67! new only from $16.20!
6	Al Jolson, Vol. 2: The Salesman of Song 1911-1923 (1992) more music like this by Al Jolson Anyone attempting to appreciate the artistry of Al Jolson needs to shift into reverse and ease out the clutch. The recordings he made during the 1930s are superior to his spasms of self-caricature during the '40s. The Jolson of the '20s was exciting, charismatic and inventive. Venture back further to his earliest appearances on phonograph records ... see all copies from $13.84! new only from $16.48!
7	Whiskey Is My Habit, Women Is All I Crave: The Best of Leroy Carr (2004) more music like this by Leroy Carr The 40 tracks compiled on this two-disc set represent the entire span of pianist and singer Leroy Carr's recording career that spanned a brief seven years, from 1928-1935. The material represented here -- all but one of these tracks were recorded for the Vocalion label -- features accompaniment by guitarist Scrapper Blackwell on all but one ... see all copies from $16.42! new only from $22.14!
8	Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster (2004) more music like this by Stephen Foster If ideas move forward on the shoulders of giants, and that is certainly true in the world of American pop music, then Stephen Foster's shoulders are the ones at the bottom of the heap, because he is the first truly American songwriter. Drawing both from the transplanted song traditions of the European émigrés and the rhythmic sophistication of ... see all copies from $16.98!

11 view cover	Lost Sounds: Blacks and the Birth of the Recording Industry 1891-1922 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Archeophone's two-disc set Lost Sounds: Blacks and the Birth of the Recording Industry 1891-1922 has its genesis in a book by author Tim Brooks. Conventional wisdom used to dictate that African-American artists just simply didn't make records until the advent of Mamie Smith's 1920 "Crazy Blues," a view one still may encounter in half-researched ... see all copies from $34.69! new only from $34.69!
12 view cover	The Jolson Story, Pt. 2 (Rock-A-Bye Your Baby) (1987) more music like this by Al Jolson Part of MCA's Jolson Story series, this brings 12 tunes from that blockbuster's soundtrack to compact disc in a straight-ahead reissue of the original vinyl album. These are the 1940s Morris Stoloff arrangements featuring Jolson a good two keys lower than the originals, but giving it his all nonetheless. Hits include "Swanee," "Avalon," "My Mammy, ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $5.98!
13 view cover	The World's Greatest Entertainer (2000) more music like this by Al Jolson After staying away from the recording studio for 13 years, Al Jolson signed to Decca Records in 1945. A year later, the label's faith was justified by Jolson's career resurgence in the wake of the success of the film biography The Jolson Story, and from then until his death in 1950 he recorded successfully, often remaking his earlier hits in a ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!

20 view cover	California, Here I Come [Conifer] (1997) more music like this by Al Jolson Although this album is part of the British Conifer label's "Movie Stars" series, that is not to say that all the selections come from Al Jolson's movies. Rather, as annotator Geoff Milne puts it, "The songs on this LP are from shows, from Jolson's films, and from nowhere in particular -- just popular songs of the day." The description hints at the ... see all copies from $6.00!
21 view cover	Rose of Washington Square (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The 1939 film Rose of Washington Square is a musical about the life of a Broadway singer named Rose Sargent, played by Alice Faye, and specifically about her romance with the gambler Bart Clinton, played by Tyrone Power. Al Jolson plays Ted Cotter, a second-rate singer and Rose's friend, who tries to help her. The plot is a thinly veiled version ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $12.50!

For the most part, the tracks turn out to be low-quality transfers of the recordings Jolson made for Decca Records in the second half of the '40s ... see all copies from $2.39!
