1	The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991 (1991) more music like this by Bob Dylan This three-disc box set is what Dylanphiles have been waiting for, sitting patiently for years, even decades. And, even after its 1991 release, it retains the feeling of being a special, shared secret among the hardcore, since -- no matter the acclaim -- it's the kind of record that only the hardcore will seek out. Of course, the great irony is ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $37.25!
2	Highway 61 Revisited [Remastered] (2003) more music like this by Bob Dylan Taking the first, electric side of Bringing It All Back Home to its logical conclusion, Bob Dylan hired a full rock & roll band, featuring guitarist Michael Bloomfield, for Highway 61 Revisited. Opening with the epic "Like a Rolling Stone," Highway 61 Revisited careens through nine songs that range from reflective folk-rock ("Desolation Row") and ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
3	Super Session [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Bloomfield/Kooper/Stills As the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) had done a year earlier, Super Session (1968) initially ushered in several new phases in rock & roll's concurrent transformation. In the space of mere months, the soundscape of rock shifted radically from two- and three-minute danceable pop songs to comparatively longer works with more ... see all copies from $10.53! new only from $10.53!
4	Highway 61 Revisited (1965) more music like this by Bob Dylan Taking the first, electric side of Bringing It All Back Home to its logical conclusion, Bob Dylan hired a full rock & roll band, featuring guitarist Michael Bloomfield, for Highway 61 Revisited. Opening with the epic "Like a Rolling Stone," Highway 61 Revisited careens through nine songs that range from reflective folk-rock ("Desolation Row") and ... see all copies from $5.74! new only from $7.35!
5	The Bootleg Series, Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975 - The Rolling Thunder Revue (2002) more music like this by Bob Dylan The biggest criticism of The Bootleg Series, Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975 -- the third installment in Columbia/Legacy's excavation of the exhaustive Bob Dylan vaults (the first was a box set, containing three volumes) -- is that it's a compilation of highlights from his Rolling Thunder Revue of 1975, one that doesn't set out to replicate a set list ... see all copies from $12.73! new only from $12.73!
6	Postcards of the Hanging: The Grateful Dead Perform the Songs of Bob Dylan (2002) more music like this by Grateful Dead Manfred Mann has stated that since Bob Dylan's versions of his own songs are so idiosyncratic, it is easy to approach his material from a fresh angle. Perhaps, but few bands would return to Dylan as frequently and successfully as the Byrds and the Grateful Dead. Interestingly, collections were issued from both bands in 2002, each featuring a disc ... see all copies from $15.58! new only from $15.58!
7	Here Come the Noise Makers (2000) more music like this by Bruce Hornsby Bruce Hornsby was 32 when "That's the Way It Is" hit number one and made him a star in the winter of 1986-1987, and he has used that stardom differently from the way a 22-year-old might have. You might say he's deliberately dismantled his popularity, gradually dispensing with the Range, the backing band he used to bill on his records, and with his ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $18.85!
8	Through the Looking Glass (2002) more music like this by Toto The members of Toto celebrate their freedom from "corporate shackles and invisible slave owners" in their liner notes to this collection, copyrighted by Toto Recordings, Inc., even if it was released by CMC Records, which is owned by Capitol Records, which in turn is part of the major label EMI. The group's idea for expressing its newfound liberty ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
9	Chinese Work Songs (2000) more music like this by Little Feat Some fans of Little Feat's classic 1970s recordings argue that the band should have lost the right to use that name when Lowell George died in 1979; as they see it, the band heard on 2000's Chinese Work Songs isn't really Little Feat. If this band can get away with calling itself Little Feat, the argument goes, why shouldn't Bob Weir assemble a ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
10	Try Me One More Time (2007) more music like this by David Bromberg Had David Bromberg been making new recordings all along, then Try Me One More Time would be a welcome addition to his catalog. An all-acoustic, solo set of blues and folk tunes -- one original, several traditional and the rest by established writers such as Bob Dylan, Rev. Gary Davis and Robert Johnson -- the album feels intimate, honest and ... see all copies from $14.59! new only from $14.59!
11 view cover	Down Upon the Suwannee River (2003) more music like this by Little Feat As the fourth release on Little Feat's Hot Tomato Records -- think of it as their own personal Dick's Picks -- Down Upon the Suwannee River offers another 2000s-era vintage performance of the reunited Feat rolling through a bunch of their old favorites, sneaking in a few newer tunes and a cover of Dylan's "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train ... see all copies from $16.20! new only from $16.20!
12 view cover	Blues [Barnes & Noble Exclusive] (2006) more music like this by Bob Dylan Bob Dylan is not a blues musician, of course, and this album is not, as its title might imply, a disc on which he performs a set of traditional blues songs. It is, rather, a compilation of previously released Dylan originals spanning more than 35 years that illustrates the influence of the blues on his music. (The album was released exclusively ... see all copies from $2.18! new only from $19.19!
13 view cover	Live at Keystone, Vol. 1 (1973) more music like this by Merl Saunders & Jerry Garcia This 1973 release features what is essentially a Bay Area bar band led by Merl Saunders (keyboards) and Jerry Garcia (guitar) during the latter musician's downtime from the Grateful Dead. Along with the two subsequent "encore" volumes, Live at Keystone includes performances drawn from the quartet's July 10-11, 1973, run in the intimate confines of ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
14 view cover	Garcia Plays Dylan (2005) more music like this by Jerry Garcia This double-disc anthology works well as a thematic companion to Postcards of the Hanging: The Grateful Dead Perform the Songs of Bob Dylan (2002). Similarly, Ladder to the Stars: Garcia Plays Dylan (2005) examines the unique relationship between the pair, featuring Jerry Garcia (guitar/vocals) in a variety of musical settings spanning nearly a ... see all copies from $21.94! new only from $21.94!
15 view cover	The Concert for Bangladesh (1971) more music like this by George Harrison Hands down, this epochal concert at New York's Madison Square Garden -- first issued on three LPs in a handsome orange-colored box -- was the crowning event of George Harrison's public life, a gesture of great goodwill that captured the moment in history and, not incidentally, produced some rousing music as a permanent legacy. Having been moved by ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $27.00!
16 view cover	Tribute to Jeff Revisited (2005) more music like this by David Garfield see all copies from $22.34! new only from $22.34!
17 view cover	I Can't Complain (1998) more music like this by Phoebe Snow The record business being, if possible, even harder on women over 30 than the movie business is, I Can't Complain was 45-year-old Phoebe Snow's first album in nine years and only her second in 17 years. It was also her first to present her solely as an interpretive singer, not including any of her own compositions. Maybe for these reasons, ... see all copies from $3.66!
18 view cover	30 Year Low (2007) more music like this by The Mendoza Line Brooklyn's the Mendoza Line have been poised at the brink of a precipice throughout their ten-year existence. 2000's masterful We're All in This Alone was a thrust and parry exchange between the principal combatants, husband and wife Timothy Bracy and Shannon McArdle, and the band's last effort, 2005's Full of Light and Full of Fire, seemed to ... see all copies from $7.56! new only from $11.38!
19 view cover	Tribute to Jeff Porcaro (1997) more music like this by David Garfield & Friends The tragic death of Princess Diana reminded everyone of the impact a single person can have, and in turn, Elton John's moving tribute at her funeral reflected the great role music can play as emotional catharsis. Tribute to Jeff by David Garfield & Friends achieves that for all those who participated, but is in many ways the antithesis of the ... see all copies from $36.01! new only from $36.01!
20 view cover	The Fairport Companion (2006) more music like this by Fairport Convention For a band that's seen seven or more incarnations, Fairport Convention has remained a near-mythological Godhead for the British folk scene. Castle Music's sprawling Fairport Companion, complete with a hand-drawn family tree foldout from legendary illustrator/journalist Pete Frame, manages to dutifully represent nearly all of the group's major ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
21 view cover	Hop the Wag (2000) more music like this by Jools Holland see all copies from $15.95! new only from $16.39!
22 view cover	Spotlight (2001) more music like this by Tir Na Nog see all copies from $7.10! new only from $13.69!
23 view cover	Sundown on the Forest (1999) more music like this by Kingfish Who's in a name? When it's Kingfish it could contain practically any configuration or variation of what began as a Grateful Dead spin-off band during the mid-'70s, which had been co-founded by Bob Weir (guitar/vocals). Although he left the group before they recorded their second studio LP, Trident (1978), Weir returned periodically for guest shots ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.85!
24 view cover	Rock Revisited (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.50! new only from $7.59!
25 view cover	The Bootleg Series, Vol. 7: No Direction Home - The Soundtrack (2005) more music like this by Bob Dylan The seventh volume of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series doubles as the soundtrack to No Direction Home, Martin Scorsese's feature-length documentary covering Dylan's career from its beginnings to 1966 (it was aired in two parts on PBS in September 2005 and released in expanded form on DVD that same month). Unlike the previous three installments of The ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $12.99!
