Dean Martin
Dino: The Essential Dean Martin is an attempt by Capitol Records to fill up a single CD to the brim (30 tracks in nearly 78 minutes) with Dean Martin hits in the manner of the Beatles' 1. It's a welcome development from a label that was previously content to survey the same territory on the 1998 collection Greatest Hits: King of Cool, which ...

Elvis Presley
The problem with compiling an essential best-of compilation covering the phenomenon that was (and is) Elvis Presley is the very man himself, who has passed from this mortal coil into the iconic pop culture stratosphere where even his own death is questioned and Elvis sightings are as frequent as fleas. Then there are the thousands of performers ...

This isn't Campbell's greatest hits by any means, a definitive collection of which on one CD has so far eluded Capitol Records. On the other hand, it is a good selection of some of Campbell's most impressive cuts, singles, and album tracks alike, in a multitude of settings and genres: his own most durable hits ("By the Time I Get to Phoenix," ...

BMG Heritage's 2005 release Love, Elvis is not the first Elvis Presley collection released in time for Valentine's Day, nor is it likely to be the last (although, to be fair, it's likely to be the first and last collection to bear a picture of Elvis visibly tongue-kissing a girl on the cover), but that doesn't immediately discount its merit. For ...

Given the overwhelming number of Glen Campbell collections released over the years, it comes as a shock to realize that Capitol's 2003 set The Legacy (1961-2002) is the first-ever Campbell box set to be released. There have been plenty of single- and double-disc collections, and while some of them been been excellent, even essential, they also ...

Coleman Hawkins, certainly a much sought-after sideman and soloist in his early days, had much to offer for the variety of early vintage jazz bands he played with. This whopping four-CD set really lays out the goods on Hawkins, as he was rapidly developing from 1929 up to the pre-World War II days ten years after. JSP Records, a trusted company in ...

Beginning with its double-LP debut in 1969, Chicago has always done things in a big way, so it's no surprise that the band's career-spanning box set (Group Portrait, an earlier box, covered only their first decade) is lengthy. There are five CDs, containing 94 tracks clocking in at more than six and a half hours, plus a DVD running another 40 ...

For her second full-length, and major-label debut, Canadian singer Serena Ryder chose to mainly focus on the songs of others, specifically, other Canadians, writing just three of the tracks on If Your Memory Serves You Well.
