Dedicated to the One I Love
(1996)
more music like this
by
Linda Ronstadt
Throughout her career, Linda Ronstadt has always interpreted rock and pop classics, but Dedicated to the One I Love is different from the rest of her albums -- this time around, she reinterprets the oldies as children's lullabies. All of the songs are given lush, sweet, and soft arrangements, even when that approach is ludicrous; it might be a ...

by
Bananarama
Theoretically, this should be a note-perfect example of commercial '80s pop music at its best. But it isn't. Half of this album is actually pretty great, though -- particularly the early Bananarama hits. The Fun Boy Three-produced "He Was Really Sayin' Something" throws that band's quirky avant-funk underneath the threesome's harmonizing; the ...

Ray Charles/Count Basie Orchestra
Ray Sings, Basie Swings, huh? Hmm, well, yes and no. You see, the story goes something like this. In 2005, Concord Records exec John Burk, who produced Ray Charles' superb late-career, Grammy-winning Genius Loves Company, found a reel of tape simply labeled "Ray/Basie." Upon further analysis, it was determined that the 1973 recording featured Ray ...

by
Phoebe Snow
This is an improvement on the similarly titled The Best of Phoebe Snow, from the early 1980s, in that it has virtually everything from the earlier anthology, but has sixteen songs, where the previous compilation has but ten. The emphasis is still on her mid-to-late-1970s work with Columbia, though it does include some tracks from other labels and ...

Given the consistent strength of The Mavericks' back catalog, compiling a single-disc "best-of" collection that gives an accurate picture of their music has been something of a challenge, so Gold has one key advantage over the other Mavericks anthologies MCA/Universal has released in the past -- with close to two-and-a-half hours of music spread ...

Storyteller: The Complete Anthology is a flawed but effective four-disc box set covering Rod Stewart's career from its start up through the 1980s. Although most of Stewart's biggest hits and best-known songs from his first two decades are on Storyteller, the collection is poorly paced, containing too much hesitant early material and not enough ...

The Dillard & Clark duo was Gene Clark's most artistically successful post-Byrds collaboration, and his best venture into country-rock as well. With Chris Hillman and Bernie Leadon playing behind the duo throughout the first album, in many ways it is as much an offshoot of the Flying Burrito Brothers' work as it is of the Byrds, with more of the ...
