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 $6.00! new only from $6.00!
2	Her Best (1997) more music like this by Etta James While several best-ofs from Etta James' Chess period have been available over the years -- with the two-disc, 44-track Essential Etta James at the top of the list in giving the big picture -- this 20-track collection sweats that bigger picture down to bare essentials. For those wishing to finally sample Etta's classic period at Chess without ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!
3	20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection (1999) more music like this by Etta James Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around -- well, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.68!
4	The Essential Etta James (1993) more music like this by Etta James The Essential Etta James comprises 44 tracks summarizing the long and brilliant Chess tenure of "Miss Peaches," Etta James, opening with her 1960 smash "All I Could Do Was Cry," and encompassing her torchy, fully orchestrated ballads "At Last," "My Dearest Darling," and "Trust in Me," and continuing on through her 1962 gospel-rocker "Something's ... see all copies from $19.00! new only from $25.67!
5	The Chess Box (2000) more music like this by Etta James Etta James is one of the towering figures of the blues, the foremost female blues vocalist of the second half of the 20th century, and the foundation of her legacy is her recordings for Chess Records in the '60s. Despite her reputation and enduring popularity, Etta didn't receive a box set retrospective between 1988 and 1990, the time when Chess ... see all copies from $37.35! new only from $37.35!
6	The Count Basie and His Orchestra (1944) (1944) more music like this by Count Basie Orchestra Given the paucity of Basie recordings from the 1940s issued by his own label, the quality and content of this collection of 14 songs cut exclusively for radio in 1944 is scandalously good. The tracks, including a long version of "One O'Clock Jump" with an extended piano introduction by Basie, a hot version of "Lady Be Good" with guest clarinetist ... see all copies from $5.22! new only from $6.75!
7	The Queen of Big Band Swing (1998) more music like this by Helen Ward This British compilation traces Helen Ward's work as female vocalist with the orchestras of Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Teddy Wilson, Bob Crosby, Joe Sullivan, and Harry James between 1936 and 1943. Of course, Ward's most prominent association was with Goodman from 1934 to 1936, a pairing that resulted in the chart-toppers "It's Been So Long," ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
8	Malcolm X [Original Soundtrack] (1992) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Co-produced by Spike Lee and Quincy Jones, and released on Jones' label, the soundtrack to Lee's Malcolm X includes a number of artists contemporary to Malcolm X's movement, as well as his growing-up years, to some degree. The album is primarily notable for the quality of the jazz presented (Lionel Hampton's arguably best-known song, Billie ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Sweet & Sour Tears (1964) more music like this by Ray Charles One of a series of ultra-loose concept albums Ray Charles cut in the '60s, this one is dedicated entirely to songs with titles or lyrical references to crying and tears. It's an excuse for Charles to choose his usual varied menu of upbeat jumpers, slow countrified weepers, and proudly saccharine pop standards. The production, as one might fear, ... see all copies from $6.00!
10	Kenny Burrell (1957) more music like this by Kenny Burrell Guitarist Kenny Burrell, 25 at the time, is heard during one of his earlier sessions playing in his already recognizable straight-ahead style with a quintet that also features the underrated baritonist Cecil Payne, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Elvin Jones. This album is a bit brief in time (just over 36 minutes) but ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
11 view cover	The Legendary Duo at Their Best (2001) more music like this by Les Paul & Mary Ford The silky smooth vocals of Mary Ford blended with the brilliant playing skills of Les Paul produced some of the best pop music of the '50s. On the Legendary Duo at Their Best box set, six of the albums they released between 1950 and 1957 are represented on three CDs. This is a high point for both musicians, as their work together was a perfect fit ... see all copies from $43.53! new only from $43.53!
12 view cover	Blues Groove (1995) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff/Hank Crawford Quartet Organist Jimmy McGriff and altoist Hank Crawford always make for a potent team. With guitarist Wayne Boyd and drummer Vance James completing the quartet, McGriff and Crawford explore an appealing mixture of blues, soulful ballads and riff tunes. Few surprises occur but many of the songs (particularly "Movin' Upside the Blues," "The Sermon," "When ... see all copies from $9.73! new only from $9.73!
13 view cover	Bye Bye Blues/Les and Mary (2000) more music like this by Les Paul & Mary Ford This disc contains two complete albums by Les Paul and Mary Ford: Bye Bye Blues from 1952 and Les and Mary from 1955. Bye Bye Blues boasts the Top Five title track and the lesser hits "Jazz Me Blues" and "Smoke Rings," while Les and Mary includes the minor hits "Moritat (Theme From Three Penny Opera)" and "Nuevo Laredo." The latter is particularly ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
14 view cover	The Second Time Around (1961) more music like this by Etta James Etta James's second album isn't what you pull off the shelf when you want to hear her belt some soul. Like her debut, it found Chess presenting her as more or less a pop singer, using orchestration arranged and conducted by Riley Hampton, and mostly tackling popular standards of the '40s. If you're not a purist, this approach won't bother you in ... see all copies from $9.00!
15 view cover	For Collectors Only (1992) more music like this by Sonny Til & the Orioles Led by the sultry tenor voice of Sonny Til, the Orioles -- in spite of being regarded by many as the originators of doo wop -- have been poorly served in the CD era, with most of the collections available consisting of re-recorded versions of their late-'40s and early-'50s hits. There is the massive and definitive six-disc box from Bear Family, of ... see all copies from $24.72! new only from $24.72!
16 view cover	From the Heart (1961) more music like this by Hank Crawford Recorded in 1962 with most of the same band that made Soul Clinic, Hank Crawford turns in a simmering, deep soul performance that draws in equal parts from Ray Charles' R&B, James Moody's blues and Duke Ellington's swing. Accompanied by Texas tenor giant David "Fathead" Newman, baritone saxophonist Leroy Cooper, trumpeters John Hunt and Phil ... see all copies from $40.00! new only from $60.00!
17 view cover	Love Is a Many Splendored Thing more music like this by Nat King Cole see all copies from $4.99!
18 view cover	Embraceable You [Pearl] (1997) more music like this by Nat King Cole see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
19 view cover	The Very Best of the Paragons: Florence (2001) more music like this by The Paragons The Paragons were a classy Brooklyn harmony quintet who combined doo wop vocals with refined rock & roll backing to produce several interesting singles at the end of the 1950s. After hooking up with writer/producer and label owner Paul Winley, and led by Julius McMichael's high-tenor singing and fine songwriting abilities, the group produced a ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
20 view cover	Love Songs of the 60's [Sony] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.84! new only from $4.84!
21 view cover	Moonglow (2000) more music like this by Nat King Cole This is a three-CD set that provides a buffet of Cole's lively song stylism. His '40s jazz singing, scat, and swinging style make for good listening. Cole dominated the pop world before Sinatra, and the best songs from the best songwriters ultimately ended up in his repertoire. This set includes such wonderful tunes as "Some Like It Hot," "It's ... see all copies from $8.39! new only from $8.39!
22 view cover	Rare California Airshots (2001) more music like this by Bob Wills see all copies from $13.47! new only from $13.47!
23 view cover	Paper Moon (1998) more music like this by Nat King Cole see all copies from $3.88!
24 view cover	Best of AFRS Jubilee, Vol. 14 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.75!
25 view cover	Best of Big Band 1943 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Though by no means definitive, the fourth volume in BMG's multi-part, budget-line overview of the big band sound of the 1940s is still a good introduction to the swing era -- while the omission of liner notes is endlessly frustrating, the overall sound quality is strong, and perennials like Glenn Miller's "That Old Black Magic," Dinah Shore's "You ... see all copies from $2.61!
