Help! [UK]

Help! [UK] (1965) more music like this

by The Beatles

Considering that Help! functions as the Beatles' fifth album and as the soundtrack to their second film -- while filming, they continued to release non-LP singles on a regular basis -- it's not entirely surprising that it still has some of the weariness of Beatles for Sale. Again, they pad the album with covers, but the Bakersfield bounce of "Act ...

Across the Universe [Original Soundtrack]

Across the Universe [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

As soundtracks to misguided Beatles-inspired movies go, Across the Universe -- the companion piece to Julie Taymor's pseudo-psychedelic fantasmagoria extravaganza, telling the story of the '60s through the tunes of the Fab Four -- isn't too embarrassing. Certainly, it lacks the appalling tackiness of Sgt. Pepper and it's not as stuffy as All This ...

Rubber Soul [US]

Rubber Soul [US] (1965) more music like this

by The Beatles

In a stroke of marketing whimsy, Capitol Records removed four songs from the U.K. edition of Rubber Soul, and added two songs from the U.K. Help! in an attempt to offer a more "American" release. Surprisingly enough, the reworked U.S. edition holds together better than its British counterpart. Obviously inspired by the folk-rock sound blossoming ...

There Is a Time (1963-70)

There Is a Time (1963-70) (1991) more music like this

by The Dillards

Twenty-nine tracks drawn from the Dillards' first five albums (originally on Elektra), which are otherwise unavailable. The CD is assembled not in chronological order, but with musical coherence as the main determining factor, so tracks from different albums get juxtaposed together. From Back Porch Bluegrass we get five songs, including "Banjo in ...

The Best of Holly Cole

The Best of Holly Cole (2000) more music like this

by Holly Cole

As leader of the Holly Cole Trio, the smoky-voiced jazz chanteuse has created an impressive catalog over the last decade with her longtime cohorts Aaron Davis (piano) and David Piltch (string bass), seamlessly mixing blues, pop, and jazz. This collection gathers tunes which allow the sultry singer to stand out above sparse yet often playful ...

Wings Over America

Wings Over America (1976) more music like this

by Wings

Basically, there are two things that rock bands do: they make an album and they go on tour. Since Paul McCartney fervently wanted to believe Wings was a real rock band, he had the group record an album or two and then took them on the road. In March of 1976 he released Wings at the Speed of Sound and launched a tour of America, following which he ...

Unplugged (The Official Bootleg)

Unplugged (The Official Bootleg) (1991) more music like this

by Paul McCartney

Released after the studied, meticulous Flowers in the Dirt, the live acoustic concert album Unplugged was a breath of fresh air, and it remains one of the most enjoyable records in McCartney's catalog. Running through a selection of oldies -- not only his own, but Beatles and rock & roll chestnuts -- McCartney is carefree and charming, making ...

Wheatstraw Suite

Wheatstraw Suite (1968) more music like this

by The Dillards

It never got any better than this. In 1968, as the Byrds were making valiant (if unappreciated) efforts to bring rock and country music closer together, the Dillards were trying to do some of the same for bluegrass and rock. The result was 13 all-but-perfect tracks mixing some pretty laid-back topicality ("Hey Boys") and humor ("The Biggest ...

One Night

One Night (1978) more music like this

by Arlo Guthrie

A 1978 live album recorded with the group Shenandoah (not the country-pop band of the '80s and '90s but a strange conglomeration of bluegrass, rock, and jazz players), One Night is a quirky blend of traditional folk songs and unusual covers. The covers range from a bluegrassy take on the Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face" (quite nice) to the old ...

A Song for You

A Song for You (2002) more music like this

by Kenny Rankin

The great Kenny Rankin makes a subtle shift in stylistic focus on this label debut, titled A Song for You. The recording shows just how rewarding the marriage of songs from the Great American Songbook with the smooth jazz style can be when played by a talent of Rankin's stature. His singing explores new musical trails on such great compositions as ...

Dark Dear Heart (1997) more music like this

by Holly Cole

Although a few songs on Dark Dear Heart are ill-suited for Holly Cole's style -- nothing Sheryl Crow has written could translate to a cocktail jazz setting -- the album remains another solid entry in her catalog, illustrating that she is one of the best interpretative singers of the '90s.

Beatle Country [Rounder/Elektra] (1966) more music like this

by The Charles River Valley Boys

Beatle Country was originally released as an attempt to match the enormous commercial success of a then-recent album called The Baroque Beatles Book, which featured baroque-style orchestral versions of Fab Four compostions. Beatle Country, however, is a surprisingly (considering its inherently contradictory nature) excellent album of Beatles songs ...

Rubber Soul Jazz (2006) more music like this

by The Music Company

Booker T. & the MG's' LP dedicated to covers of much of the material on a specific Beatles album (1970's McLemore Avenue, which focused on songs from Abbey Road) was the first such project to get widespread critical attention. It's sometimes forgotten, however, that it wasn't the first effort of its sort. About four years before, a bunch of top ...

Montreal Jazz Festival (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Twenty years' worth of recordings made at the Montreal Jazz Festival during the '80s and '90s amounts to a decidedly mixed bag on the Montreal Jazz Festival box set. The four discs are divided thematically (sort of) into blues, vocals, traditional jazz, and non-traditional jazz (i.e., fusion). All That Jazz is the most successful of the four discs ...

Halloween (2008) more music like this

by Roky Erickson & the Explosives

Roky Erickson may have been living across the border from sanity in the late '70s and early '80s, but he hadn't lost touch with his considerable gifts as a singer and rhythm guitarist, and with the right band behind him he was a rock & roll force to be reckoned with. Austin pop-punk pioneers the Explosives frequently did double duty as Roky's band ...

Beatlesgrass (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's no secret that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison wrote beautiful songs full of subtle shadings and well-developed melody lines that were so fully realized that Beatles songs have been reinterpreted in every conceivable genre, from reggae to classical. This unassuming little instrumental album gives some of these gems a ...

Meets the Beatles (1998) more music like this

by John Pizzarelli

Beatle fans love to explain that the key to the successful partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney was their contrasting songwriting personalities-Lennon was the tongue-in-cheek sardonic wit, McCartney the earnest balladeer. On John Pizzarelli Meets the Beatles, a sharply conceived tribute which sets the duo's classics in a jazz trio and big ...

Bottom Line Encore Collection (1999) more music like this

by Kenny Rankin

Recorded during a 1990 concert at New York's Bottom Line, this album embodies all the ingredients that make Rankin such a great talent. In an age when many artists were successful more for their ability to look sexy or menacing while lip-synching in videos, Rankin brought a host of skills to the musical table. His lush voice, with its lilting ...

The compatibility of traditional Irish music and rock & roll has inspired bands as diverse as the Pogues, Oysterband, Mouth Music and Boiled in Lead. What the Paperboys bring to the table with their version of Celtic rock is something lacking in almost all of the other fine, artists who have taken a similar approach: namely, consistent skill at ...
