1	Youth (2006) more music like this by Matisyahu An orthodox Jew who kicks it dancehall style, Matisyahu may seem a gimmick, but he's the real deal. Unfortunately, he's struggling with the sophomore jinx on Youth, an album that expands upon his debut, 2004's Shake Off the Dust... Arise, without capturing its immediacy or excitement, thanks in large part to producer Bill Laswell. No stranger to ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $5.25!
2	Live at Stubb's (2005) more music like this by Matisyahu Offering a taste of Matisyahu's exhilarating live show along with being an alternative to his more complex debut, Live at Stubb's presents "the Hasidic Reggae Superstar" in top form. While Shake Off the Dust...Arise had its dreamy, mystical, and more relaxed side, Stubb's is filled with rousing energy, with Matisyahu delivering his spiritual ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $5.65!
3	No Place to Be (2006) more music like this by Matisyahu On his fourth album in relatively quick succession, No Place to Be, Matisyahu pumps out nothing too adventurous. Indeed, most of the songs here have been present in some form or another on his previous albums. What No Place to Be does provide, though, is an excellent primer on the range that Matisyahu can cover. Top-flight dancehall in "Jerusalem" ... see all copies from $7.80! new only from $7.80!
4	Yiddish Songs (2000) more music like this by Chava Alberstein While klezmer music has enjoyed a revival in the late 20th century, Yiddish popular song seemed destined to vanish altogether. But efforts by Mandy Patinkin and Chava Alberstein attempt to breathe new life into the old tradition. This disc of well-selected songs attempts to paint a portrait of village life for Eastern European Jews in the late ... see all copies from $10.26! new only from $13.45!
5	Sings Jewish Folk Songs [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Theodore Bikel see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
6	In the Fiddler's House (1995) more music like this by Itzhak Perlman In the Fiddler's House is a collection of traditional klezmer music performed by the acclaimed violinist Itzhak Perlman. Perlman captures the careening, infectious spirit of klezmer with style and grace, making In the Fiddler's House an intoxicating listen. David Jehnzen, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.79! new only from $14.38!
7	Yemenite Songs (1984) more music like this by Ofra Haza Ofra Haza's death on February 23, 2000, at the age of 41 deprived the world of a lovely woman, a great vocalist, and a fearless cultural advocate. Fifty Gates of Wisdom, her 1985 album of boldly reimagined traditional Yemenite songs, brought her international fame, and decades later, it retains its ability to delight and inspire. The set list ... see all copies from $6.77! new only from $14.35!
8	Shaday (1988) more music like this by Ofra Haza This CD made Haza a household name throughout Europe because it was her first to sell millions of copies there, earning her the nickname "the Israeli Madonna." She combines Hebrew, Yemenite, and English in prayers and original compositions with a driving European dance beat. Included is the international hits "Im Nin Alu" and "Galbi" (later made ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $13.09!
9	Mamaloshen (1998) more music like this by Mandy Patinkin Documenting the Jewish-American experience in song, Mandy Patinkin weaves a rich tapestry of legend, oral history and popular song, all in Yiddish. The most interesting tunes on Mamaloshen include Paul Simon's "American Tune" and "Maria" from West Side Story which become perfectly adapted to Patinkin's use. The lush arrangements by Paul Ford lend ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.85!
10	Rhythm & Jews (1990) more music like this by The Klezmatics One of the great things about klezmer is the fact that while it is a product of Jewish musical traditions, it has also reflected the Jewish-American experience. When American Jews in Brooklyn and Queens were digging Artie Shaw's clarinet in the 1940s and '50s, you'd hear it in klezmer recordings. The Klezmatics' Rhythm & Jews is a lively, ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $15.98!
11 view cover	Jews with Horns (1995) more music like this by The Klezmatics Picture the Reverend Horton Heat with a yarmulke, if you like. Or "Fiddler on the Roof" with Coltraneian complexity. Just don't expect somber religious music. The Klezmatics' brand of Jewish klezmer is as spirited as it is spiritual. The fast numbers, which dominate their third album, are frenzied celebratory drinking songs -- a true revival of ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $17.26!
12 view cover	Well (1998) more music like this by The Klezmatics & Chava Albertstein When Israeli singer Chava Alberstein produced a documentary film on 20th-century Yiddish poets in 1995 (Too Early to Be Quiet, Too Late to Sing), the writers' stories provoked Alberstein to set some of their poems to music. The results are gathered on The Well, with vocals by Alberstein and music performed by the Klezmatics. The compositions ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $16.06!
13 view cover	Ultimate Jewish Music Collection (1995) more music like this by L'Chaim Ultimate Jewish Music Collection is a collection of orchestral takes on classic Jewish themes and celebratory songs. The album covers a wide variety of music, from the dark and rumbling "This Land Is Mine: Exodus" to the ethereal beauty of "Eli Eli." Although many of these songs are available in several versions already, the renditions found on ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $14.78!

16 view cover	Klezmer: Early Yiddish Instrumental Music 1908-1927 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Arhoolie and its affiliated labels have reissued this material, largely taken from the collection of the collector Dr. Martin Schwartz, several times over the years (first as a 16-track LP, then later as a 24-track CD), but the 1997 CD has the most informative notes and the best sound. (For songs painstakingly transferred from fragile 78 RPM ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $16.37!
17 view cover	Bar Kokhba (1996) more music like this by John Zorn/Masada Chamber Ensembles Bar Kokhba encompasses the wealth of material John Zorn has composed with his eminent quartet Masada. The album is a collection of Masada songs that have been rearranged for chamber ensembles. For this effort, Zorn enlists some of New York's finest musicians: John Medeski, Marc Ribot, Anthony Coleman, and Erik Freedlander, among others. The ... see all copies from $16.77! new only from $20.31!

19 view cover	Folksongs From Israel (1999) more music like this by Burning Bush A nice collection of Israeli folk songs from the Burning Bush Ensemble, the top Jewish ensemble in England. It covers a relatively diverse range of sounds, from vaguely North African- and/or Latino-sounding songs to more klezmer-like compositions. Also, a good deal of straight Hebrew folk songs. As far as a low-level album of Jewish music is ... see all copies from $4.69! new only from $13.71!
20 view cover	The Rough Guide to Klezmer (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The editors at the Rough Guide seem almost uniquely able to glean the best of a particular genre for their compilations -- gathering the classic and the visionary, the famous and the undiscovered gems -- and making every song count. This collection is no exception. From Naftule Brandwein, the clarinet legend in New York in the '20s and '30s who ... see all copies from $11.64! new only from $13.01!
