Moondance
(1970)
more music like this
by
Van Morrison
The yang to Astral Weeks' yin, the brilliant Moondance is every bit as much a classic as its predecessor; Van Morrison's first commercially successful solo effort, it retains the previous album's deeply spiritual thrust but transcends its bleak, cathartic intensity to instead explore themes of renewal and redemption. Light, soulful, and jazzy, ...

Still the Same: Great Rock Classics of Our Time
(2006)
more music like this
by
Rod Stewart
Early on in his career Rod Stewart established himself as one of rock's great interpretive vocalists, which made the flatness of his Great American Songbook series a bit puzzling. If any classic rock veteran of the '60s should have been able to offer new spins on old standards, it should have been Rod the Mod, who was turning Elvis' "All Shook ...

Still on Top: The Greatest Hits
(2007)
more music like this
by
Van Morrison
There are 21 cuts on this Hip-O collection of Van Morrison's Greatest Hits. The interesting thing is that of these 21 cuts, only about half of them will be recognizable to the casual Van Morrison fan, as they come from his Bang sides and the far more popular Warner Brothers singles of the early '70s. As it should be, although there is one glaring ...

The Best of Me
(1991)
more music like this
by
Maxi Priest
The Best of Me collects nearly all of Maxi Priest's pre-1992 U.K. and U.S. singles, and results in a timeless, breezy, and thoroughly engaging album. Maxi Priest doesn't really tackle the heavy social themes that many of his reggae contemporaries do -- instead, he sings about love, life, and summertime (what, in other words, is known as "lovers ...

The Best of Van Morrison, Vol. 3
(2007)
more music like this
by
Van Morrison
Van Morrison stopped having hits long before the release of the second volume of The Best of Van Morrison in 1993, so it's not practical to assume that it's double-disc successor -- delivered a whopping 14 years later, compared to the three separating the first two volumes -- has songs that are familiar to a general audience. Nor should it be ...

From There to Here: 1989-2002

by
Brian McKnight
Thirteen years is a long time in urban/R&B circles, which leaves the rangy career of Brian McKnight sounding like the work of several different artists when compiled in a package like From There to Here: 1989-2002. Most of his material has the sound of soulful adult contemporary, as on quite a few tracks compiled here: "One Last Cry," "Crazy Love, ...

more music like this
by
Brian McKnight
Brian McKnight has become the latest in a series of after-hours-style R&B heroes, matinee idols with decent voices who parlay suggestiveness, romantic lyrics, and sex appeal into sizable popularity among female fans. McKnight's strength is his coy delivery and savvy selection of material; he never does any tune that forces him to stretch the upper ...

Peter White
For his tenth full-length album, Playin' Favourites, British smooth jazz giant Peter White decided to, as the title suggests, turn to some of his favorite tracks from the '60s, '70s, and '80s, giving each of them his own interpretation (he did a similar thing in 1994's Reflections). Working with longtime producer Paul Brown, as well as musicians ...

The soundtrack to the 1995 Meg Ryan alcoholism melodrama When a Man Loves a Woman leads off with the Percy Sledge soul classic which lends the film its title; however, outside of Los Lobos' "El Gusto (Son Huasteco)" and Brian Kennedy's unnecessary cover of Van Morrison's "Crazy Love," the remainder of the disc is made up of Zbigniew Preisner's ...

by
Vikki Carr
Originally released on Columbia, these two Vikki Carr albums zero in on easy listening versions of popular love songs from the '60s and early '70s. The rather formulaic treatments work best on the well-known compositions of the period, especially "If You Could Read My Mind," "For All We Know," and "So Far Away." Not an essential purchase for ...

In the earlier films, Hughes had focused on high school, but She's Having a ...

Bryan Ferry
When Slave to Love: The Best of the Ballads was released in 2000, there hadn't been a true Roxy Music compilation in print for years. Street Life and More Than This were both grab bags of Roxy Music singles and material from Bryan Ferry's solo career. While it's logical to assume that fans of one artist would certainly be interested in the other, ...

The unparalleled art form of jazz is best defined by the musical legacies of its master artists. But a small handful of smooth jazz guitarists, including Jeff Golub, make every riff count and have made their own meaningful contributions by capturing its essence in a variety of styles.

Obviously more extensive than 2002's From There to Here, these two discs ...

Before this installment in the 20th Century Masters series was released, there were two ways to go with Brian McKnight compilations: the single-disc From There to Here: 1989-2002 and the two-disc Gold.
