Beach Music Sound: Sand In My Shoes: 25 More Classic Hits

Beach Music Sound: Sand In My Shoes: 25 More Classic Hits (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Late-period R&B and vintage 1960s soul never really faded into nostalgia in the coastal towns of the Carolinas, and in time the music and the regional bands that continued to play it generated what became known as "beach music" in the region. Beach music isn't a terribly precise term, however, and much like Louisiana's swamp pop style, it ends up ...

Finger Poppin' and Stompin' Feet: 20 Classic Allen Toussaint Productions for Minit... (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Allen Toussaint is a giant of American popular music, but his work was primarily behind the scenes as a songwriter, producer, arranger, and sessionman. Even as a leader, his songs and recordings became better-known through interpretations and assimilations from such artists as Glen Campbell, Lowell George, and Bonnie Raitt, instead of his darkly ...

The Golden Age of American Rock 'n' Roll, Vol. 5

The Golden Age of American Rock 'n' Roll, Vol. 5 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's been said before, but it bears repeating: much of the history (and soul) of early rock & roll resides not only in the recordings of giants like Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Buddy Holly, but in the literally hundreds of acts who managed to produce one or two great singles, in an incredible variety of styles. You can't claim to have ...

Walkin' to New Orleans (1994) more music like this

Roadrunner, Roadrunner: The Beserkley Collection (2004) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers

While Jonathan Richman has recorded for lots of different record labels over the years, both big and small, any fan of his music has to acknowledge the smarts and vision of the tiny Berserkley label, who for many years before the notion of "indie rock" had gained currency were willing to give Richman and his unusual (many would say "strange") ...

The Minit/Instant Story (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

This 52-song collection doesn't entirely overlap EMI's Minit Records Story box set, which has a few rarities and obscure tracks, but it's a good overview of some of the best and most interesting of the label's output, and also the sheer diversity of the company's output, from the hard blues of Jessie Hill to the smooth, near-pop stylings of Allen ...
