1	Songs That Got Us Through WW2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This excellent collection of songs from the "War Years" includes The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, the Dorsey Brothers, and Harry James, among others. It's great for the novice. Kenneth M. Cassidy, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.99! new only from $10.76!
2	16 Most Requested Songs (1992) more music like this by Doris Day 16 Most Requested Songs contains some, but not all, of Doris Day's biggest hits. Consequently, it's more of a sampler for casual fans than a definitive retrospective, but it still highlights some of her very best performances, including "A Bushel and a Peck," "You Won't Be Satisfied," "Till the End of Time," "In Love in Vain," and "Black Hills of ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $3.50!
3	The Basement Tapes (1975) more music like this by Bob Dylan & the Band The official release of The Basement Tapes -- which were first heard on a 1968 bootleg called The Great White Wonder -- plays with history somewhat, as Robbie Robertson overemphasizes the Band's status in the sessions, making them out to be equally active to Dylan, adding in demos not cut at the sessions and overdubbing their recordings to flesh ... see all copies from $10.87! new only from $17.84!
4	The Cider House Rules (1999) more music like this by Rachel Portman The soundtrack to The Cider House Rules, the film adaptation of John Irving's novel, features a score by Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman, who has written music for a wide array of films, including Emma, Benny & Joon, and The Joy Luck Club. Her orchestral score for this film reflects its poignancy, humor, and unflinching look at the ... see all copies from $5.09! new only from $13.53!
5	Renee Olstead (2004) more music like this by Reneé Olstead Back in 2002, producer David Foster oversaw the debut disc of a young jazz/pop singer named Michael Bublé. With his handsome looks and Sinatra-like voice, Bublé quickly saw his star begin to rise and the success of his disc kicked off a mini-revival of old standards and big band singers. Striking while the iron was hot, Foster fed the flame by ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
6	Family Prayer (2008) more music like this by Murrills Do not judge the Murrills by their dramatic first single, "Family (There's a Healing)." The churchy track has all the makings of a bona fide gospel tearjerker -- producer Donald Lawrence's exhortative ad libs make it even churchier -- but it's nothing like the rest of Family Prayer, the sextet's impressive debut recording for Verity Records. It ... see all copies from $15.82! new only from $15.82!
7	The Very Best of Julie London [2006] (2006) more music like this by Julie London The Very Best of Julie London offers an extensive overview of London's recording career with 50 selections she cut for Liberty Records between 1955 and 1969. The tracks are not newly remastered for the most part, but are taken from EMI's series of import two-fers and the domestic reissues Ron Furmanek and Bob Norberg produced in the early '90s. ... see all copies from $23.97! new only from $23.97!
8	Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II (2001) more music like this by Various Artists World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ... see all copies from $18.35! new only from $18.35!
9	Golden Girl: Columbia Recordings 1944-1966 (1999) more music like this by Doris Day Released as a celebration of Doris Day's three decades with Columbia Records, Golden Girl: Columbia Recordings 1944-1966 is a definitive portrait of Day at the peak of her career. Over the course of two discs and 48 songs, all of her big hits -- including "Sentimental Journey" and "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)" -- are featured, along ... see all copies from $17.84! new only from $17.84!
10	The Celtic Circle (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The term "Celtic" covers a broad sweep of music, from the traditional to new age, and this compilation seems intended to offer selections from all areas -- though with a slight emphasis on the new age end rather than music with a deep history. To that end, there are plenty of sweeping synthesizer chords, aching vocals, and rich, ethereal harmonies ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $17.53!
11 view cover	20 Melodies Pour Rever, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Alain Morisod see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
12 view cover	Capitol Collectors Series (1943) more music like this by Jo Stafford An exquisite collection of Stafford's most memorable love songs from the '40s, it comes complete with extensive liner notes and impressive sound. Includes "I Love You," "Long Ago (And Far Away)," and "Some Enchanted Evening." Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Bil Carpenter, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.74! new only from $10.79!
13 view cover	Doris Day's Sentimental Journey/Latin for Lovers (2001) more music like this by Doris Day Doris Day's Sentimental Journey/Latin for Lovers is comprised of two mid-'60s LPs, the first a look back at Day's mid-'40s prime, the second a studied glance at the then-current vogue for Latin material that overtook dozens of other vocalists (among the best were contributions by Peggy Lee and Mel Tormé). As the genre proved for most traditional ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $8.48!
14 view cover	Sentimental Journey (1970) more music like this by Ringo Starr Cut as the Beatles were disintegrating and released shortly before the group's final album, Let It Be, Ringo Starr's debut solo album was a collection of pre-rock standards dating from the 1920s to the '50s, sung over orchestral tracks arranged by everyone from fellow Beatle Paul McCartney and Bee Gee Maurice Gibb to jazz veterans Quincy Jones and ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.79!
15 view cover	Singin' with the Big Bands (1994) more music like this by Barry Manilow Like Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow embarked on a transition during the 1990s from being a contemporary pop singer/songwriter to being an interpretive singer on the model of Tony Bennett, who achieved a career resurgence around the same time with a series of thematic albums. Manilow followed 1991's Showstoppers, an album of songs from Broadway shows, ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $10.00!
16 view cover	Go Simpsonic with the Simpsons (1999) more music like this by The Simpsons Throughout its near-decade-long run, The Simpsons has maintained an astounding level of high quality, turning out episodes dense with verbal wit, visual humor, and musical parodies. Since each episode moves so swiftly, it's easy to take the high quality for granted, especially as far as the music is concerned. It's presented without any fanfare -- ... see all copies from $2.34!
17 view cover	A Matter of Degrees (1991) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The university-set flop A Matter of Degrees is most memorable for JFK, Jr.'s cameo and its soundtrack, which fields a pretty accurate encapsulation of the U.S. college rock scene in the early '90s. Yo La Tengo, fIREHOSE, Uncle Tupelo, Schooly D(!), Throwing Muses, and Nova Mob all make fine appearances, and Miracle Legion fittingly cover Mission ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.55!
18 view cover	Esquivel! (1994) more music like this by Esquivel Esquivel was one of the most interesting easy listening composers of the 1950s and '60s, creating open, futuristic sonic landscapes. Part of his music's appeal is its pure campiness; "Mucha Muchacha," with its bad puns and exaggerated Latin rhythms and vocals, is hilarious. Esquivel!, a collection of his "greatest hits," makes it apparent that the ... see all copies from $7.24! new only from $14.47!
19 view cover	The Genius Hits the Road (1960) more music like this by Ray Charles In keeping with his jazz/pop crossover ambitions, Ray Charles decided to record a concept album of sorts with a dozen songs devoted to various parts of the U.S. -- "Alabamy Bound," "Georgia on My Mind," "Moonlight in Vermont," "California, Here I Come," "Blue Hawaii," and more. The crossover vibe is further heightened by the brassy big-band ... see all copies from $4.99!
20 view cover	A Little Piece of Heaven (1993) more music like this by Gene Harris Quartet Gene Harris was always predictably excellent, particularly during his final decade. This CD has his quartet of 1993 (with guitarist Ron Eschete, bassist Luther Hughes, and drummer Paul Humphrey) performing such tunes as a soulful "Take the 'A' Train," the sly "Ma (He's Making Eyes at Me)," "My Little Suede Shoes," and even "Ode to Billie Joe." ... see all copies from $5.52! new only from $10.35!
21 view cover	The Last Concert (2002) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rosemary Clooney's performance at the Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu, HI, on November 16, 2001, backed by the big band Big Kahuna & the Copa Cat Pack and the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, turned out to be her final show before her death on June 29, 2002. Not surprisingly, though, there isn't anything about it to suggest finality ... see all copies from $3.39! new only from $10.29!
22 view cover	And So Is Love (2005) more music like this by Rita Coolidge It seems increasingly common for once-popular artists to resurface years after their heyday. What's so interesting is how they resurface. Who would've imagined Rita Coolidge, like other popular '70s singers, re-emerging 30 years down the line as a singer of jazz classics? But Coolidge, like Debby Boone before her, has done exactly that, releasing ... see all copies from $3.28! new only from $16.89!
23 view cover	The Best of Steve & Eydie (1977) more music like this by Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme Containing a couple of their big hits, The Best of Steve and Eydie doesn't contain enough music to be a definitive retrospective, but it makes a fine purchase for the budget-conscious. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.81! new only from $3.81!
24 view cover	Black and Blue/Tobacco Road (2006) more music like this by Lou Rawls Black and Blue and Tobacco Road were Lou Rawls' third and fourth records for Capitol cut in 1962 and 1963, respectively. The powers that be at the label made the decision to send Rawls into the studio with a swinging big band under the direction of Onzy Matthews and featuring some real heavyweights like saxophonists Curtis Amy, Teddy Edwards, and ... see all copies from $7.10! new only from $14.22!
25 view cover	Jammed Together (1988) more music like this by Steve Cropper/Pop Staples/Albert King While this is not nearly as essential as some other Stax wax, it has a loose, raffish appeal and never falls into the murk of a boring super-session chopsfest. These guys were simply havin' fun with some standard soul/R&B covers (e.g. "What'd I Say," "Baby What You Want Me To Do") and some wide-open originals, kickin' back with some serious riffin ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
