1	The Definitive Collection [Geffen] (2006) more music like this by Bing Crosby The chief drawbacks to this album lie in its title and its marketing, not its contents. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Universal Music, repository of the largest catalog of vintage music in the world, embarked on several reissue programs with different price points aimed at different consumers. There was the 20th Century Masters/The ... see all copies from $10.91! new only from $10.91!
2	Chester & Lester [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins/Les Paul Chester & Lester is a beautiful and fun album by two masters. It was recorded in the mid-'70s when Chet Atkins was in his fifties and Les Paul was in his sixties. The latter had been in retirement for a decade before the recording of this album. Nashville studio musicians, including Randy Goodrum on piano and Larrie Londin on drums, back up the ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
3	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 $18.67! new only from $18.67!
4	The War: A Ken Burns Film [Deluxe Edition] (2007) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack The War, directed by Ken Burns, was a seven-part documentary series broadcast on PBS television in 2007, focusing on the experiences of American soldiers in World War II. Much popular music of the period was heard on the soundtrack, as was some music specifically composed and recorded for use in the film. This four-CD set, with the full title The ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $27.34!
5	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 $6.58! new only from $6.58!
6	Sentimental Journey: Capitol's Great Ladies of Song, Vol. 2 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Lush orchestrations and dynamic vocal performances characterize the 26 songs on this compilation. Highlights include Billie Holiday's "Trav'lin Light," and The Andrews Sisters' "Shoo-Shoo Baby," Dinah Shore's "Sentimental Journey," Peggy Lee's "I Don't Know Enough About You," and June Christy's "It's Been a Long, Long Time." Mood music from the ... see all copies from $3.39! new only from $10.73!
7	World War II Love Songs (1999) more music like this by John Bunch Jazz fans might pass over this excellent CD by John Bunch because of the ridiculous statement beneath the label logo identifying it as "easy listening, lite jazz"; this is hardly something that should be confused with the bland offerings of various smooth jazz artists. Bunch's tribute to World War II songs is very appropriate, since he served ... see all copies from $4.46! new only from $4.46!
8	Politely!/Swingin' Pretty (2000) more music like this by Keely Smith Politely!/Swingin' Pretty gathers two of Keely Smith's highest-charting vocal pop albums on one CD. Billy May's arrangements on Politely! and Nelson Riddle's work on Swingin' Pretty complement Smith's sweetly impassioned readings of "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "East of the Sun and West of the Moon," "Stormy Weather," "Someone to Watch Over ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $11.21!
9	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Les Paul (2001) more music like this by Les Paul This would be more properly titled "The Best of Les Paul at Decca," as all 12 of the songs are taken from his slim body of 1944-1947 Decca recordings. That isn't to say that these aren't quality tracks that are of substantial importance to Paul's discography, only that they certainly aren't among his best or most popular, particularly as none of ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!
10	The Essential Chet Atkins [Legacy] (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins Chet Atkins is more esteemed as a session musician and producer than as a solo artist, and critics have rightly noted that much of his immense catalog as a solo artist is unimpressive. It might thus be assumed that it would be difficult to pick a two-CD, 40-track career-spanning retrospective that would both represent much of his finest solo ... see all copies from $15.73! new only from $15.73!
11 view cover	Java Jive [Laserlight] (1994) more music like this by The Ink Spots There's no telling what group of Ink Spots recorded these 14 tracks, which include remakes of the group's hits like the title song and "You Only Hurt The One You Love," as well as vintage standards like "My Wild Irish Rose" and "Shine On Harvest Moon." The performances are fine, but the budget release, noting only that the tracks are "Licensed ... see all copies from $3.66! new only from $3.66!
12 view cover	Starring Al Hibbler/Here's Hibbler! (1956) more music like this by Al Hibbler Although Al Hibbler collaborated over the years with such brilliant musical minds as Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Count Basie, Gerald Wilson, Harry Carney, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, his work with the Jack Pleis orchestra also may serve as a perfect introduction to this remarkable vocalist. Hibbler's highly developed ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $25.21!
13 view cover	The Best of Harry James [Curb] (1990) more music like this by Harry James & His Orchestra These 12 Harry James tracks provide only adequate representation of his best material. While these are re-recorded tracks, they sound good and the performances are decent. Still, if you're looking for the original versions of "By the Sleepy Lagoon," "Cherry," "Ciribiribin (They're So in Love)," and "I'm Beginning to See the Light," pick up the ... see all copies from $7.12! new only from $7.12!
14 view cover	Jule Styne in Hollywood (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Having composed the music for the songs in 16 Broadway musicals between 1947 and 1993, among them Funny Girl and Gypsy, Jule Styne is most closely associated with the musical theater. But he also had an extensive career writing songs for the movies in the decade before his Broadway run began, as annotator and producer Tommy Krasker details in his ... see all copies from $14.32! new only from $14.32!
15 view cover	Words and Music of World War II (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This two-CD audio documentary mixes popular songs (usually excerpts) of the early to mid-'40s inspired by World War II and excerpts of famous speeches and news reports of the time, joined by some slightly ostentatious narration. If you're a music collector, it's not the ideal way to hear World War II topical songs, because most of the music tracks ... see all copies from $17.11! new only from $17.11!
16 view cover	Shelley!/The Things We Did Last Summer (2000) more music like this by Shelley Fabares Collectables revives two of Shelley Fabares' albums from 1962 on this CD, encompassing her three biggest hits and a slew of interesting album tracks. This package nicely augments Rhino's best-of since there is so little overlap, but it also suffices as a stand-alone anthology since Fabares' big hits, namely "Johnny Angel" and "Johnny Loves Me," ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
17 view cover	We'll Meet Again: The Love Songs of World War II (1994) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc set of American popular music from 1941 to 1945, We'll Meet Again compiles many of the era's biggest love songs, all informed by the war experience. Performers include Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers, Benny Goodman and the Ink Spots. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $25.00! new only from $49.95!
18 view cover	The Best of the Big Bands (1939) more music like this by Harry James This is very much a hodgepodge set that does not live up to its clichéd title. The recording dates and personnel listing are not included in the chatty liner notes and, although there is some excellent music here (including "Strictly Instrumental," "I Had the Craziest Dream," "You Made Me Love You," "It's Been a Long, Long Time," and "Ciribiribin" ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.61!
19 view cover	Band Singer (2001) more music like this by Kitty Kallen see all copies from $9.23!
20 view cover	C'est Si Bon: Satchmo in the Forties [Box] (2001) more music like this by Louis Armstrong see all copies from $29.40! new only from $29.40!
21 view cover	Just in Time: Judy Kuhn Sings Jule Styne (1995) more music like this by Judy Kuhn see all copies from $4.14! new only from $7.97!
22 view cover	Prisoner of Love (2001) more music like this by Perry Como see all copies from $2.65! new only from $4.50!
23 view cover	You Made Me Love You (1992) more music like this by Harry James A fine budget-priced collection capturing many of Harry James' Columbia-label hits of the 1940s, You Made Me Love You features not only the smash title cut but also "Sleepy Lagoon," "Two O'Clock Jump" and the bandleader's theme song, "Ciribiribin." Raymond McKinney, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
24 view cover	The Kitty Kallen Story (1992) more music like this by Kitty Kallen see all copies from $4.54! new only from $17.11!
