Diamonds & Rust

Diamonds & Rust (1975) more music like this

by Joan Baez

With the Vietnam War winding down, Joan Baez, who had devoted one side of her last album to her trip to Hanoi, delivered the kind of commercial album A&M Records must have wanted when it signed her three years earlier. But she did it on her own terms, putting together a session band of contemporary jazz veterans like Larry Carlton, Wilton Felder, ...

Experience the Divine: Greatest Hits

Experience the Divine: Greatest Hits (1993) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Placing the raw beginning of her career (beautifully represented by the stark resignation of "Hello in There") against the brassy persona she has since cultivated ("Miss Otis Regrets") against the overblown A/C cuts that have been her biggest hits ("From a Distance," "Wind Beneath My Wings"), Bette Midler shows on this album why she is a legend ...

The Divine Miss M

The Divine Miss M (1972) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Bette Midler's debut album displays how raw her talent was at the beginning of her career, a coarseness that has been lost as she's honed her persona into something brassier. Not that brassy's bad; she's just matured as a performer. But listen to this, then throw in 1990's fine Some People's Lives to see how she shines with both voices. On The ...

Prime Prine

Prime Prine (1976) more music like this

by John Prine

Atlantic Records' compilation of John Prine's first four albums was good for its time (and became his only gold record) but has been superseded by Rhino's Great Days anthology. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

John Prine

John Prine (1971) more music like this

by John Prine

A revelation upon its release, this album is now a collection of standards: "Illegal Smile," "Hello in There," "Sam Stone," "Donald and Lydia," and, of course, "Angel from Montgomery." Prine's music, a mixture of folk, rock, and country, is deceptively simple, like his pointed lyrics, and his easy vocal style adds a humorous edge that makes ...

Great Days: The John Prine Anthology

Great Days: The John Prine Anthology (1993) more music like this

by John Prine

Rhino's Great Days: The John Prine Anthology is an excellent summary of John Prine's prime period, from his sublime 1971 eponymous debut to 1991's Missing Years. This (appropriately) draws heavily from his early recordings (including the aforementioned debut), but it also does a terrific job of finding songs on uneven albums, while giving weight ...

Live at Last

Live at Last (1977) more music like this

by Bette Midler

The double-LP live album phenomenon was utilized in 1973 on Around the World With Three Dog Night to collect loads of hits and release them in another format. Three years later, Bob Seger's Live Bullet, J. Geils Band's Blow Your Face Out, and Frampton Comes Alive solidified the double disc as a way to bring important rock artists to the forefront. ...

Souvenirs

Souvenirs (2000) more music like this

by John Prine

In the liner notes to John Prine's 2000 album Souvenirs, he calls the songs he has recorded during his 30-year career "faithful companions." They are indeed warm, friendly, and boldly intimate, whispering secrets to the listener -- but at the same time they are growing older and smoothing their youthful edge. In an effort to have his own master ...

Collecting all of Midler's biggest hits and trademark songs from throughout her career on one disc, Experience the Divine is Midler's strongest album and the best introduction to her brassy, show-stopping style. All Music Guide, All Music Guide

Spanning 31 songs and two discs, one covering "The Most Popular Recordings" (aka "The Hits") and one covering "The Obscure & Unknown Recordings" (aka "The B-Sides and Cover Versions"), Rhino/Elektra's 2004 compilation Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure & Unknown Recordings of 10,000 Maniacs is as good a career overview as could be assembled.

The Complete A&M Recordings (2003) more music like this

by Joan Baez

A month-and-a-half after the release of her first studio recording in six years, and perhaps her finest recording since 1975's Diamonds & Rust, Joan Baez's complete A&M recordings offer a revelatory view of the artist at her most adventurous. Baez's tenure with A&M lasted from 1972-1976 and yielded five studio albums, a live recording, and three ...

Rare, Live & Classic [Box] (1993) more music like this

by Joan Baez

Spanning three discs, the box set Rare, Live & Classic is an odd mix of Joan Baez's best-known songs and rarities. For the hardcore collector, there are plenty of interesting items here, including previously unreleased duets with Bob Dylan, Donovan, Bill Wood, and Jeffrey Shurtleff, but for the casual fan, there's too much material; they would be ...

Live (1988) more music like this

by John Prine

With years of experience playing club dates, John Prine has evolved into a very entertaining live performer, and this album, originally a double-LP and now a single CD, presents him at his intimate best, telling funny stories and performing his most impressive material in unadorned arrangements.

Diamonds (1996) more music like this

by Joan Baez

The same year that A&M U.S. released the single-disc, 20-track Greatest Hits, A&M U.K. released this double-disc, 33-track compilation from the same period of Joan Baez's career, i.e., her five-year, five-album sojourn at the label from 1972 to 1976. You'd figure that this one would get the nod over the shorter American disc, right? Wrong. ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Joan Baez (1999) more music like this

by Joan Baez

It may not be a definitive collection -- after all, it bypasses all of her influential '60s recordings -- but the Joan Baez installment of 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection is a good overview of her recordings for A&M, featuring such highlights as "Diamonds and Rust," "Fountain of Sorrow," "Hello in There," "Dida," "Jesse," "In the ...

Mirmama (1992) more music like this

by Eddi Reader

Eddi Reader's debut solo album following her split from Fairground Attraction found her pointedly backed by "the Patron Saints of Imperfection," inevitably interpreted as a comment on Fairground's U.K. number one hit, "Perfect." As if trying to distance herself as much as possible from the group's neo-skiffle pop sound, Reader adopted an ...

Philadelphia Folk Festival: 40th Anniversary (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

This whopping five-disc set commemorates the Philadelphia Folk Festival's 40th anniversary. There's definitely no shortage of music here, each of the five discs filled to the brim. And there's also no shortage of folk superstars, either. Some of the more noteworthy performances include Fairport Convention's "Walk a While," Bonnie Raitt's "Talkin' ...

Classic Joan Baez: The Universal Masters Collection (2000) more music like this

by Joan Baez

The Joan Baez volume in the Universal Masters Collection series documents what the label producers deem as the best material she recorded for the A&M label. Baez experienced an artistic renaissance at the label and actually scored a hit with her own "Diamonds and Rust." Of course that's here, but so are many other live and studio treasures from ...

Castles in the Sand/Hello in There Plus (2005) more music like this

Bear Family continues its David Allan Coe reissue program with 1983's Castles in the Sand and Hello in There; both albums were produced by Billy Sherrill. Castles in the Sand is one of Coe's most underrated and consistent. Coming well after his glory -- and scandal -- years in the 1970s, Coe and producer Billy Sherrill integrated their partnership ...
