1	Careless Love (2004) more music like this by Madeleine Peyroux Why it took vocalist Madeleine Peyroux eight years to follow up her acclaimed Dreamland album is anybody's guess. The explanation from her website bio claims, "I could have kept running with it, but I took a breather." Really it hardly matters, since there have been plenty of capable singers to fill that void. Produced by Larry Klein, Careless ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $6.00!
2	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $51.23! new only from $51.23!
3	The Ultimate Collection (1948-1990) (1991) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Rhino's double-disc 1991 set The Ultimate Collection (1948-1990) falls just short of the promise of its title, losing its focus toward the end of the set. That said, it comes close enough to satisfy, particularly because John Lee Hooker had such a long, convoluted discography, recording for a number of different labels over many decades. This gets ... see all copies from $13.74! new only from $28.92!
4	Good Will Hunting (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The entertainment press loves unlikely princesses, but Good Will Hunting had so many Cinderella stories that one of them got lost in the shuffle: that of the soundtrack album. Most of the headlines went to the film's young screenwriter/stars, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and director Gus Van Sant. But Van Sant made room for two talented musicians ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $14.78!
5	I Wanna Get Funky (1974) more music like this by Albert King Another very solid, early-'70s outing. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.29!
6	El Rayo-X (1981) more music like this by David Lindley By the time David Lindley made his move to a solo career, he was already a legend. Having toured and recorded with such names as Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and Crosby & Nash, his reputation as a multi-instrumentalist (on almost any stringed instrument) was awesome. Lindley scored a contract with Elektra Records and put together an excellent ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
7	You Win Again (2000) more music like this by Van Morrison & Linda Gail Lewis Van Morrison has always been eccentric, but as he grows older, he seems to get more comfortable with his eccentricities and doesn't strain as hard to be distinctive. That's why it seems natural to have two albums in one year be as willfully individual as The Skiffle Sessions and You Win Again, a duet album with Linda Gail Lewis. In all honesty, in ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $8.99!
8	Blind Pig Records 30th Anniversary Collection (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Blind Pig Records 30th Anniversary Collection features 33 tracks from this influential independent blues label. While this is a solid two-disc set, it contains few surprises and no unreleased tracks. What does make this collection appealing is the bonus DVD featuring six live performances from the Blind Pig archives by Tommy Castro, Popa Chubby, ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $14.95!
9	Somebody Else's Troubles (1973) more music like this by Steve Goodman The electrifying energy, accomplished guitar, and great lyrics of Steve Goodman lit up the musical world all too briefly. Cut down at the age of 36 by leukemia, Goodman left a lasting legacy of memorable music, which can be heard from front-porch gatherings to homages by his friend, John Prine. Best known for penning "The City of New Orleans," ... see all copies from $9.00!
10	Take Me Back to Tulsa [Proper Box] (2002) more music like this by Bob Wills Everyone who's ever explored Western swing knows that Bob Wills' music was revolutionary, but any fan who hasn't listened to the music on disc one of this collection probably doesn't realize how revolutionary it really was. Most modern retrospectives concentrate on music that Wills made after his signature sound was firmly established, but the ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
11 view cover	Xen Cuts (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Commemorating its tenth anniversary in similar fashion to the festivities at Warp during 1999, Ninja Tune Records celebrated with a three-disc compilation that spotlights not necessarily the greatest, but definitely the most overlooked, moments in the label's history. Founded in 1990 by Coldcut's Jonathan More and Matt Black in response to ... see all copies from $9.68! new only from $16.69!
12 view cover	Music Box (2001) more music like this by The Monkees It's hard not to wonder why the four-disc Music Box even exists. After all, Rhino has not only released definitive reissues of all of the Monkees' studio albums, complete with bonus tracks, but the label has a series devoted to rarities (Missing Links), a single-disc greatest hits album, a double-disc anthology, and another four-disc box, Listen ... see all copies from $50.00! new only from $50.00!
13 view cover	I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '50s (1996) more music like this by Various Artists I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '50s is an excellent mid-line collection that contains 20 hits. Although the packaging is a little skimpy, all of the recordings are the original hit versions, which makes the compilation an excellent choice for casual listeners and the budget-minded. Among the highlights on Hits of the '50s are Jerry Lee Lewis' ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
14 view cover	Gold (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker never abandoned his raw, gut bucket Mississippi-Delta-comes-to-the-city approach to the blues throughout his fifty-year career, and if he got a tad bit slicker towards the end of that career, it was only a tad and only by degree. There are innumerable Hooker collections on the market, and this two-disc set wouldn't be anything ... see all copies from $11.32! new only from $11.32!
15 view cover	Blind Pig Records' 25th Anniversary Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Following the precedent established by previous label best-of's like Blind Pig Sampler (1990) and Blind Pig Records: 20th Anniversary Collection (1997), Blind Pig Records' 25th Anniversary Collection digs into the blues label's deep archive for a number of classic performances. Some of the featured performances include B.B. King and Arthur Adams' ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $15.28!
16 view cover	No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Like all the great rock revolutions, punk was fueled by singles. Sure, there were a lot of tremendous albums, but all the artists that cut great LPs also had great 7"s -- and in the case of Television and Patti Smith, they had independent singles released prior to their first albums that never appeared on their debuts. Since rock criticism tends ... see all copies from $57.05! new only from $57.05!
17 view cover	Night Train to Nashville, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Oh yeah! Those who bought the first volume of Night Train to Nashville have been licking their chops for a long while now for this second installment and with good reason. Both compilations coincide with the exhibition of the same name at the Country Music Hall of Fame and reflect the deep roots R&B that flourished in Music City in the years ... see all copies from $19.61! new only from $19.61!
18 view cover	Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans (2004) more music like this by Various Artists It reads splendidly on paper: Shout Factory's Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans is a traveler's guide to the legendary city's rich musical heritage. Over the course of four discs, it attempts to touch on all of the kinds of music associated with New Orleans -- everything from brass bands and piano blues to ... see all copies from $46.87! new only from $51.23!
19 view cover	The War: A Ken Burns Film [Deluxe Edition] (2007) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack The War, directed by Ken Burns, was a seven-part documentary series broadcast on PBS television in 2007, focusing on the experiences of American soldiers in World War II. Much popular music of the period was heard on the soundtrack, as was some music specifically composed and recorded for use in the film. This four-CD set, with the full title The ... see all copies from $20.89! new only from $20.89!
20 view cover	Keep on the Sunny Side: Her Life in Music (2005) more music like this by June Carter Cash While singer/songwriter/actress/comedienne June Carter Cash's musical legacy may pale in comparison to her beloved husband's work, it is in no way eclipsed by it. As the baby of the legendary Carter Family, June was immersed in the world of entertainment at birth, a vocation that she took to like wildfire. Irreverent and unafraid, she made her ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
21 view cover	Tibetan Freedom Concert (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The Tibetan Freedom Concert was the largest rock charity event of 1997, a two-day event held in June that featured many of the biggest names in rock and rap. Appropriately, it was filmed and recorded with the intention of being released later in the year as a charity record. The triple-disc set The Tibetan Freedom Concert is the extraordinary ... see all copies from $8.33!
