1	Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack As a means of telling one of the most infamous stories of Savannah, GA, jazz-student/director/actor Clint Eastwood has chosen the works of one of the most famous natives of this fabled southern city, Johnny Mercer. Not only has he and producer Matt Pierson picked some of the most beautiful and beloved selections of the Great American Songbook, but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.11!
2	Tumbling Tumbleweeds [Universal] (1987) more music like this by The Sons of the Pioneers see all copies from $2.95! new only from $4.82!
3	Ultimate Collection (2002) more music like this by The Sons of the Pioneers For really exhaustive coverage of the work of this groundbreaking cowboy harmony group, you'll want to invest in the Bear Family series; for a quick, budget-priced overview, try this label's Tumbling Tumbleweeds compilation. But for a more generously packed and lushly packaged overview collection (at full price), this is an excellent choice. It ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.34!
4	Striking It Rich (1972) more music like this by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks Striking It Rich features 14 more sides of hipster acoustic swing from Hicks and his helpmates, including the fan favorites "I Scare Myself" and "Canned Music." The band's musicianship remains mostly on the mark, but there are elements of the album that go beyond kitsch and the humor here is considerably darker than in the past -- perhaps early ... see all copies from $9.09! new only from $9.09!
5	25 (1992) more music like this by Harry Connick, Jr. This 1992 CD is a throwback to Harry Connick's earlier sets for it mostly features the pianist-vocalist on a solo set of standards. Ellis Marsalis drops by to back Connick's vocal on "Stardust," Connick accompanies Johnny Adams' singing on "Lazybones," and "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" is a trio outing with tenor saxophonist Ned Goold ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.20!
6	Way Out West (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins The timeless Way out West established Sonny Rollins as jazz's top tenor saxophonist (at least until John Coltrane surpassed him the following year). Joined by bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, Rollins is heard at one of his peaks on such pieces as "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)," his own "Way out West," "There Is No Greater ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $12.20!
7	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Sonny Rollins With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins is represented beginning with his composition "Oleo" performed with the Miles ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $6.48!
8	Talkin' About! (1964) more music like this by Grant Green On the heels of Matador and Solid, two of his most advanced albums, Grant Green decided to continue the more modal direction he'd begun pursuing with the help of members of Coltrane's quartet. Accordingly, he hooked up with organist Larry Young, who was just beginning to come into his own as the first Hammond B-3 player to incorporate Coltrane's ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
9	Evening With Johnny Mercer (1971) more music like this by Johnny Mercer This Johnny Mercer concert features the greatest of the folk poets at the piano and follows a biographical path through his career. Mercer tells stories about his life from being hummed to as a baby to his first visit to New York City. His first song, "Out of Breath and Scared to Death," was written one day when he was told a company needed songs, ... see all copies from $17.95!
10	The Republic Years (2006) more music like this by The Sons of the Pioneers see all copies from $13.40! new only from $13.40!
11 view cover	Golden Greats (2002) more music like this by Bing Crosby The reason for the plethora of CD reissues of the recordings of vintage recordings artists like Bing Crosby since the 1990s is simple: International copyright lapses after 50 years, putting those artists' catalogs into the public domain, at least in Europe. Each year, more reissues come out on labels that don't have to pay for licensing, their ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $9.44!
12 view cover	Classic Jazz: Jazz Masters (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Offering up a somewhat confused selection of modern jazz classics (Coltrane, Mel Tormé, and Mongo Santamaria on one disc?), Time Life still comes through with a solid mix of bop and hard bop instrumentals and vocals. Bookended by milestones from both eras, Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia" and Horace Silver's "Song for My Father," Classic ... see all copies from $3.94! new only from $12.25!
13 view cover	'S Wonderful! (1956) more music like this by Ray Conniff & His Orchestra Ray Conniff had a solid career of big band arranging and conducting the orchestras backing Columbia Records' stable of '50s pop singers before he managed to get his name on a record himself. But that didn't prepare anybody for the success of this album, named after the Gershwin song he first arranged when he was working for Artie Shaw. Conniff ... see all copies from $5.00!

15 view cover	The Freelance Years: The Complete Riverside and Contemporary Recordings (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Picking up only ten days after Fantasy's Complete Prestige Recordings box leaves off, these five discs run through one of Rollins' most fertile (some insist, the most fertile) periods. Not only are Rollins' Riverside and Contemporary sessions as a leader and sideman collected in toto; Fantasy also includes three tracks recorded for Period in ... see all copies from $54.44! new only from $54.44!
16 view cover	Country Music Hall of Fame Series (1992) more music like this by Roy Rogers & the Sons of the Pioneers When Gene Autry got into a contract dispute with Republic Pictures in 1937, the studio replaced him with Sons of the Pioneers member Len Slye, whose name they changed to Roy Rogers. These Decca tracks, which range from 1934 to 1942, cover Rogers's output just before he became "King of the Cowboys" with the release of Ridin' Down the Canyon. Two of ... see all copies from $3.62!
17 view cover	Ride Ranger Ride (2001) more music like this by Roy Rogers If the silver-bullet man is your cup of rotgut, then this is the batch you've been waiting for. While there are numerous compilations of Roy Rogers' material out there, including the truly definitive Bear Family set, this compiles on a single disc all of Rogers' classics with the Sons of the Pioneers through his solo singing cowboy days, ranging ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $9.26!
18 view cover	Best of Children's Favorites: Pooh's Top 40 (2004) more music like this by Disney The Winnie the Pooh-themed collection Best of Children's Favorites: Pooh's Top 40 Tunes surrounds classic children's songs with some new songs relating the adventures of Winnie and the rest of his friends from Pooh Corner. Rather confusingly, the collection also includes songs sung by other Disney characters, including Goofy (who sings quite a few ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.56!
19 view cover	Bashin': The Unpredictable Jimmy Smith (1962) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Although still a regular Blue Note artist (he would make four more albums for the company within the next year), Bashin' was organist Jimmy Smith's debut for Verve, a label that he would record extensively for during 1963-1972. On the first half of the program (reissued in full on this CD), Smith was for the first time joined by a big band. Oliver ... see all copies from $11.24!

25 view cover	Bing Crosby Sings Again (1986) more music like this by Bing Crosby The first CD release of Crosby material on MCA came in 1986, and the remastering is uncommonly good on the features "The Ol' Spring Fever" and "You Are Too Beautiful,"as well as the other 14 recordings, which include "Swinging on a Star," "Dear Hearts and Gentle People," "Smarty," "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral" and the 1945 recording of "Where the Blue ... see all copies from $2.99!
