1	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $51.31! new only from $69.10!
2	Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1963 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists You'd need a wall full of early rock & roll records to get a truly definitive summary of the best sounds from the music's first decade. That qualification noted, this is about as good a sampling of the most important early rock & roll hits and performers as could be stuffed into a three-CD, 62-song set, and deserves the highest rating even if it ... see all copies from $31.68! new only from $31.68!
3	High on the Hog (1973) more music like this by Black Oak Arkansas This is probably the best-known album in the Black Oak Arkansas catalog, thanks in large to part to its hit cover of the LaVern Baker R&B classic "Jim Dandy." This effective update combines a countrified touch, some electric guitar fireworks, and a frenetic double-time tempo with the inimitable hillbilly vocals of Jim "Dandy" Mangrum to create a ... see all copies from $2.04! new only from $9.60!
4	The Definitive Rock Collection (2006) more music like this by Black Oak Arkansas see all copies from $4.98! new only from $17.56!
5	This Is Southern Rock (2005) more music like this by Various Artists The three-disc This Is Southern Rock opens with a song that is probably everyone's definition of Southern rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd's epic "Free Bird," then follows it with a song that is probably no one's definition of Southern rock, .38 Special's "Hold on Loosely," illustrating that what seems obvious when looking at any musical genre is quite likely ... see all copies from $26.37! new only from $26.37!
6	Guitar Rock: Classic 70s (2003) more music like this by Various Artists We can argue all we like over these "guitar rock classics" all we want, as to whether some of them really showcase the '70s style electric guitar, on this uber-budget Rhino Flashback compilation, but the fact remains that these cuts all represent the '70s well. Sure, "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," by T. Rex may not have had any hot solos in it, but ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.69!
7	Shakin' a Tailfeather (1997) more music like this by Taj Mahal/Linda Tillery/Eric Bibb see all copies from $5.79! new only from $9.24!
8	Great Ladies of Rock & Roll: The '50s (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Including 25 tracks of the biggest female-fronted pop of the decade, Great Ladies of Rock & Roll: The '50s is a good compilation choice for fans attempting to fill in the gaps, as well as those who are simply historically curious. It must be granted that a gaping stylistic chasm separates some of the material here; after all, the same disc takes ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
9	The Platinum Collection (2007) more music like this by Lavern Baker One of R&B's earliest divas, LaVern Baker could grab hold of a song and belt it out with the best of them, whether she was singing bouncy, up-tempo rock & roll or bluesy torch ballads. Baker's contributions to the rockin' and rollin' wing of '50s R&B were in a class with Atlantic labelmates Ruth Brown and the Clyde McPhatter-era Drifters, as the ... see all copies from $5.91! new only from $5.91!
10	Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 12 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists For their 12th go at '70s hits and kitsch, Rhino delivers a beefy selection of indelible radio fare to prove just how strange and wide-open that decade's music was. From the MOR pop end of things, smashes like Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun" and Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling" qualify as prime examples of the one-hit wonder retirement plan, ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $10.24!

13 view cover	Best of Southern Rock [Rhino Flashback] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino Flashback's Best of Southern Rock may seem diminutive (ten songs), but it successfully represents the genre that spawned the term boogie rock. There's no "Sweet Home Alabama" or "Ramblin' Man" here; instead the compilers have chosen to include works from some of the '70s lesser known acts like Black Oak Arkansas, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14 view cover	Hot and Nasty (2004) more music like this by Black Oak Arkansas The Collectables compilation Hot and Nasty is a ten-track budget-priced set that contains some of Black Oak Arkansas' well-known boogie rock tracks from the early to mid-'70s, including "When Electricity Came to Arkansas," "Jim Dandy," and "Hot and Nasty." As budget-line collections go, Hot and Nasty isn't bad, especially since it contains the ... see all copies from $3.11! new only from $3.11!
15 view cover	Jim Dandy more music like this by LaVern Baker Sexy, sensual, and a dynamite singer, LaVern Baker brought style and substance to her jazzy jump blues material, transforming it to the edge of rock & roll and paving the way for the pop-soul styles of the 1960s. Her best work was on Atlantic Records, the label she signed with in 1953 after first recording as Little Miss Sharecropper for RCA ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $3.37!

19 view cover	The Legend at Her Best (2000) more music like this by LaVern Baker One of the founding ladies of rock & roll, LaVern Baker's hits "Jim Dandy" and "Tri La La" helped propel her to legendary status. This two-CD compilation features four complete albums recorded by Baker for Atlantic Records during the height of her popularity in the late '50s and early '60s. While she had big sellers with rock oriented tunes, her ... see all copies from $28.79! new only from $28.79!
20 view cover	Pure Swamp Pop Gold (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The Pure Swamp Pop Gold compilation of Louisiana artists gathers the usual suspects from the CSP label, including Van Broussard, Wayne Foret, and Crosscut, whose amped-up version of "I Hear You Knocking" shows the swamp pop genre to be more R&B than anything else. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.98! new only from $14.74!
21 view cover	Hot & Nasty & Other Hits (1997) more music like this by Black Oak Arkansas see all copies from $2.99! new only from $5.00!
22 view cover	Roots of Rock: Southern Rock (1998) more music like this by Various Artists If the titles are taken seriously, Rebound's Roots of Rock series asserts that rock began in the early '70s, and while it can be argued that that's when "rock," as opposed to "rock & roll," was born, it's still a silly conceit. The damned thing is, the discs are really good budget-line discs, despite their titles. For instance, Roots of Rock: ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.45!
23 view cover	All Their Hits & Much More (2001) more music like this by The Dovells Philadelphia's Dovells, led by singer Len Barry, grafted a doo wop vocal approach to light frat rock/R&B backing to create their own little genre, fueled by their ability to come up with a song to fit just about any dance craze that hit in the early '60s. Their biggest hits, "Bristol Stomp" and "You Can't Sit Down," are instantly recognizable, ... see all copies from $40.17! new only from $40.17!
24 view cover	Ultimate Southern Rock (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The word "ultimate" in this compilation is highly suspect since most of the key jams of this genre are missing, but there are two discs of Southern rock to be sure. The bands are all here and some weird choices as well -- the Vaughan Brothers? Waylon Jennings? Johnny Winter? -- but the tunes are secondary for the most part; still it's a nice ... see all copies from $15.52! new only from $15.52!
25 view cover	Six-Shooter (1991) more music like this by Six Shooter see all copies from $56.50!
