1	Judith (1975) more music like this by Judy Collins By the mid-'70s, Judy Collins had earned a reputation as a masterful interpretive singer as well as shown a late-blooming gift as a songwriter. But while much of her work displayed an artful and contemplative tone, after she scored a surprise hit single with her a cappella rendition of "Amazing Grace," Collins was nudged a few steps closer to the ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $7.25!
2	Ain't Necessarily So (2007) more music like this by Andy Bey It took decades for Andy Bey to become an overnight success, but in the mid-'90s he was finally recognized as a premier talent, and recorded a handful of finely crafted discs. A true jazz singer avoiding monochromatic crooning, his style is deeply blue-hued, silky smooth but never slick. This live club date at Birdland in New York City was ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $13.00!
3	Mandy Patinkin (1989) more music like this by Mandy Patinkin Patinkin has reserves of emotion that seem boundless on this tour de force collection mainly given over to show songs. Employing a vocal range that begins in a clear high tenor and plunges to a gruff baritone, Patinkin is able to act and sing duets with himself or sing beautifully alone. But feeling -- sometimes overflowing feeling -- is the core ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.67!
4	American Anthem: From Ragtime to Art Song (1999) more music like this by Nathan Gunn/Kevin Murphy see all copies from $8.19! new only from $8.19!
5	See What Tomorrow Brings (1965) more music like this by Peter, Paul and Mary See What Tomorrow Brings is a strong album that plays to the strengths of Peter, Paul, & Mary. There is a good variety of material within their folk format, and a nice esprit de corps that pervades the recording. All members sing lead, which brings a good balance to the proceedings. Worth noting are two early versions of Gordon Lightfoot's ... see all copies from $8.78! new only from $14.20!
6	Greatest Hits (1957) more music like this by The Weavers This is an excellent double-disc compilation of this group's more directly folk-related work from the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Note, however, that these are not the original Weavers recordings of their hits. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.66! new only from $13.66!
7	I'm Just a Vagabond Lover (1995) more music like this by Rudy Vallée see all copies from $2.95! new only from $3.95!
8	Songs from the Last Century (1999) more music like this by George Michael Unlike many covers albums, Songs From the Last Century is a cohesive, enjoyable diversion. With the help of co-producer Phil Ramone, George Michael has crafted a warm, intimate album built around a small combo of piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Orchestras, big bands, harps, and on one occasion, a rock band augment the basic combo, yet the ... see all copies from $9.65! new only from $9.65!
9	Great Ladies of Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Though there are only 12 tracks on this collection, the selections are impeccable: two standards by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington each, plus individual tracks by Lena Horne, Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Shirley Horn. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
10	Interchanges '54: Featuring Paul Desmond (1954) more music like this by Dave Brubeck with Paul Desmond This excellent CD reissues the LP Brubeck Time plus half of Red Hot and Cool. One of the few early studio (as opposed to club) recordings by the early Dave Brubeck Quartet (this version has bassist Bob Bates and drummer Joe Dodge in addition to pianist Brubeck and altoist Paul Desmond), the fine unit performs nine standards plus three new ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $5.08!
11 view cover	The Essential Dave Brubeck (2003) more music like this by Dave Brubeck It's hard to summarize the highlights of a career as long and prolific as Dave Brubeck's in a two-CD compilation. If you're going to settle for that, however, The Essential Dave Brubeck is a good job, spanning 1949 to 2002, with 76 minutes of music on each disc. Although a few of these tracks were drawn from his early Fantasy recordings and his ... see all copies from $21.33! new only from $21.33!
12 view cover	Pavarotti & Friends for Cambodia & Tibet (2000) more music like this by Luciano Pavarotti & Friends see all copies from $10.20! new only from $10.20!
13 view cover	Broadway: The American Musical (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This five-CD box set, containing 106 tracks and running six-and-one-third-hours, is an audio companion to the six-part PBS documentary series Broadway: The American Musical, but not the soundtrack to that series. Rather, it is a sampler covering 84 years of recordings and 99 years of show tunes. One song has been chosen from each of 102 musicals. ... see all copies from $22.09! new only from $49.20!
14 view cover	Shoulder to Shoulder (2006) more music like this by John Cephas/Phil Wiggins see all copies from $15.67! new only from $15.67!
15 view cover	Song of America [31 Tigers] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Any reasonable music fan would be forgiven for being wary of a collection of American folk music whose executive producer was former attorney general Janet Reno, but as it happens Reno knows more about such things than one might expect. At the very least Reno had the good judgment to suggest singer, songwriter and activist Ed Pettersen coordinate ... see all copies from $17.19! new only from $17.85!
16 view cover	30 #1 Hits of the '30s (2005) more music like this by Various Artists While there are a handful of various-artists compilations gathering songs from the Great Depression, few (if any) have packed so many "hit versions" into a single anthology as this 2004 release. The ever-increasing popularity of radio unified a nation wrought by financial and often personal turmoil. Of course, it also reflected the optimism and ... see all copies from $14.31! new only from $14.31!
17 view cover	Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this by Spanky & Our Gang This 15-song compilation supplants a 12-song CD of the same name dating from the 1980s, which, in turn, was adapted from an LP from 1969. This time out, in addition to improving the sound somewhat, the producers have de-emphasized the cheerful, faux hippie pop sound of the group (though that is definitely represented) to show off some other sides ... see all copies from $20.27!
18 view cover	Best of the Vanguard Years (2001) more music like this by The Weavers The Weavers' stint at Vanguard, it should be noted, took place after they had their big pop hits in the early 1950s. That might be construed as either an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your perspective. These are not the biggest-selling original versions of the staples of their repertoire, but they also feature only the group and their ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $9.97!
19 view cover	Live in Austin (2000) more music like this by Ronnie Lane In 1984, while suffering from the debilitating effects of MS and seeking treatment, former Small Faces/Faces founder Ronnie Lane moved from his native Britain to Texas. Settling first in Houston, it wasn't long before he sniffed out the hotbed of a music scene that was Austin in the ‘80s and relocated to the famous college town. There the ... see all copies from $89.99!
20 view cover	The Oscar Moore Quartet with Carl Perkins (1954) more music like this by Oscar Moore Quartet and Carl Perkins Guitarist Oscar Moore, who will always be best-known for his years with the Nat King Cole Trio, had a couple of opportunities to record as a leader in the mid-'50s but despite the worthy music, his solo career never caught on. This CD reissue of a Tampa LP matches the swing guitarist with pianist Carl Perkins, bassist Joe Comfort and drummer Lee ... see all copies from $12.85! new only from $12.85!
21 view cover	Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 30's, Vol. 2 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists The second volume of hit songs from Victor's vaults follows the format of its predecessor, using an all-over-the-road approach that mixes pop tunes with big-band swing classics. Starting with Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees' "Maine Stein Song" from 1930, we now enter the age of the vocalist in front of the big band with Bing Crosby ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $47.88!
22 view cover	All Night Strut [Original Cast] (1997) more music like this by Original Cast Recording Originally conceived by Fran Charnas, All Night Strut is a revue spanning the musical decades of the '30s and '40s in American history. Included in this flashback are such classics as "The White Cliffs of Dover," "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?," "Tuxedo Junction" and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got that Swing)." Cheerful and exuberant, ... see all copies from $16.15! new only from $16.15!
23 view cover	Back in Business (1994) more music like this by Eartha Kitt Eartha Kitt's 1994 album, Back in Business, is a solid collection of jazzy, confident songs recorded with a live band. The title track declares her return, and the rest of the record fulfills the declaration, "Let the good times roll!" The good times are all of a slowed-down, torch song nature, however, unlike the up-tempo "Back in Business." ... see all copies from $8.73! new only from $8.73!
24 view cover	It's Easy to Remember (2001) more music like this by Bing Crosby The European copyright law on recordings, which cuts off after only 50 years, is responsible for many shoddy compilations of the work of vintage artists, scratchy 78s from someone's collection transferred to disc and put out with little or no concern for quality. But it also allows for more respectable efforts, such as the series of four-CD box ... see all copies from $27.29! new only from $27.29!
25 view cover	Poor Man's Heaven: Blues & Tales of the Great Depression (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The fifth volume in Bluebird's Secret History of Rock & Roll is a stretch, albeit a good one. The 24 tracks included here all focus on the Great Depression; in fact, they mirror the current wild ride that is Wall Street in an eerily ironic way. While the other four volumes in the series focused on blues and hard country music, this set is all over ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $10.82!
