1	And the Music Speaks (1995) more music like this by All-4-One All-4-One scored the biggest single of 1994 with "I Swear," a sweetly syrupy adult contemporary soul number. While they had a massive hit, they weren't able to carve out an identity with their debut album apart from "I Swear," as it was up to the follow-up, And the Music Speaks, to establish the group as more than one-hit wonders but it only ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.98!
2	From Every Stage (1976) more music like this by Joan Baez Listening to this album a quarter century after the fact is an eerie experience; as a Baez fan of the same period and of a politically similar orientation at the time, this reviewer was shocked by the vitriol of the opening number, "(Ain't Gonna Let Nobody) Turn Me Around," especially given that the shows where this album was recorded dated from ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $10.96!
3	The Singles Collection 1981-1993 (1993) more music like this by Kim Wilde Kim Wilde's number one cover of the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On" gave her a number one hit back in 1987, but she gained chart life five years earlier with the glitzy bounce of "Kids in America," allied with the new decade's keyboard-laden pop sound and peaking at number 25 on Billboard's Top 40. The Singles Collection 1981-1993 is easily the ... see all copies from $3.31! new only from $6.93!
4	Any Day Now [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Joan Baez Recorded in October of 1968, Any Day Now marks Joan Baez's first foray into the recording studios of Nashville, armed with an entire program of Bob Dylan's material and backed by a stellar cast of Music City's finest session players. Dylan himself, coming out of an imposed exile after a motorcycle crash, had issued only one recording since 1966's ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
5	Any Day Now (1968) more music like this by Joan Baez Any Day Now is an all-Dylan album which includes a definitive performance of "Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word." William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00!
6	Vanguard Sessions: Baez Sings Dylan (1998) more music like this by Joan Baez Culling 15 tracks from her 1968 release of Any Day Now and adding five tracks taken from her releases of the early '60s, Vanguard Sessions: Baez Sings Dylan is a wonderful example of Joan Baez's ability to transcend the work of other songwriters. Though it could be said that the genius of Dylan's songcraft can occasionally be obscured by the ... see all copies from $11.49! new only from $15.98!
7	Carry It On (1971) more music like this by Joan Baez This soundtrack intersperses acoustic live performances with politically oriented dialog, much of which is spoken by her then-husband, draft resister David Harris. It's certainly one of the most minor entries of her Vanguard catalog. The dialogue is distracting, and the music reasonable but uneven, as Baez offers interpretations of songs by Gram ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $12.18!
8	The Collection [Polygram] (2001) more music like this by Kim Wilde see all copies from $12.33! new only from $12.33!
9	Earl Scruggs: His Family and Friends/Nashville Airplane (2000) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs One of Earl Scruggs' best solo albums paired with one of the duo's late LPs, on which Scruggs was the dominant personality. On Nashville Airplane, he an Lester Flatt did four Bob Dylan songs, and on Earl Scruggs: His Family & Friends he worked with Dylan himself, as well as the Byrds, Joan Baez, and Doc Watson. Neither album was ever on CD by ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $8.48!
10	The Sound Spectrum (1996) more music like this by Various Artists For the follow-up to their Sound Gallery collection, compilers Martin Green and Patrick Whitaker turn to the Pye label vaults for this superb retrospective of British Now Sound cuts from the late '60s and early '70s -- like its predecessor, The Sound Spectrum manages to straddle the line between nostalgic appreciation and kitschy irony with ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $35.00!
11 view cover	The Best of 1963-1978 (2003) more music like this by Cilla Black see all copies from $16.31! new only from $48.59!
12 view cover	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by Joan Baez A true single-disc retrospective of Joan Baez's long tenure with Vanguard Records is a simple impossibility. Baez was with the label from 1960 to 1972 and cut -- not including greatest-hits offerings and compilations -- fourteen albums. Partially, this is due to her simple presentations early on, where she was simply accompanied by her own ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $5.50!
13 view cover	The Abbey Road Decade 1963-1973 (1997) more music like this by Cilla Black Three CDs and 65 songs is probably more Cilla Black than most of us want to own. At least, that was this reviewer's impression when he first spotted this collection; as it turns out, however, Black's output is far superior to the limited reputation the carries in the U.S.A., where she charted but a handful of songs. The material features all of ... see all copies from $49.99! new only from $49.99!

15	The Lovesong Album (1975) more music like this by Joan Baez see all copies from $14.00!
16 view cover	Essential/From the Heart [Live] (2001) more music like this by Joan Baez The Essential Joan Baez/From the Heart [Live], released primarily in Asia, is a single-CD abridgement of the Joan Baez album From Every Stage, recorded at concerts held in July and August 1975 and initially issued as a double-LP by A&M Records in January 1976. The original version contained 20 tracks and ran over 80 minutes, just a little too long ... see all copies from $9.88! new only from $9.88!
17 view cover	Diamonds (1996) more music like this by Joan Baez The same year that A&M U.S. released the single-disc, 20-track Greatest Hits, A&M U.K. released this double-disc, 33-track compilation from the same period of Joan Baez's career, i.e., her five-year, five-album sojourn at the label from 1972 to 1976. You'd figure that this one would get the nod over the shorter American disc, right? Wrong. ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
18 view cover	Get Budd: The Soundtracks (2005) more music like this by Roy Budd Forget Ennio Morricone. Well, at least for as long as you read this review. Morricone has been well represented on CD in the United States and throughout Europe and Japan. But Roy Budd, one of the great film score composers, has been criminally overlooked when it comes to reissuing his music on CD. The last couple of years have seen Get Carter and ... see all copies from $18.16! new only from $18.16!
19 view cover	Get Carter [Remastered] (2002) more music like this by Roy Budd Excepting only the work of the great Lalo Schifrin, Roy Budd's Get Carter was the best theme in the lucrative world of spy/gangster/heist soundtracks from the late '60s and early '70s. Underpinning the tense strength of director Mike Hodges' film about a hit man turned avenging angel, the film's main theme ("Carter Takes a Train") is a paranoid, ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
20 view cover	Back on Top (2000) more music like this by Carl Perkins Back on Top, Bear Family's four-disc retrospective of Carl Perkins' late-'60s and early-'70s work, collects everything he recorded during his second tenure with Columbia, his tribute to Elvis ("E.P. Express"), and his complete recordings with NRBQ. Over the course of 99 tracks, the set also covers his two-year stint with Mercury, the complete My ... see all copies from $80.04! new only from $80.04!
21 view cover	The Voice of the Future (2002) more music like this by Dr. Theopolis see all copies from $11.35! new only from $11.35!
22 view cover	Reach for the Sky: The Anthology (1996) more music like this by Billy Squier This double-disc collection is about as complete as can be expected, drawing the best material from Billy Squier's long (and it must be said, uneven) solo career, as well as a few nuggets from his late-'70s days fronting the rather boring band Piper. Except for these early blunders, disc one is quite impressive, featuring such hard rock radio ... see all copies from $64.95!
23 view cover	I Shall Be Unreleased: Songs of Bob Dylan (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.70!
24 view cover	Vigilante! Roy Budd Cult Film Soundtracks 1971-1977 (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack After 1997's Rebirth of the Budd and 2001's Buddism, it doesn't seem like there would be much of film composer Roy Budd's brief career left to revisit for 2004's Vigilante!. However, Rebirth's arc spanned Budd's whole career, including his light '60s jazz sessions, and Buddism, other than having a terrible title, seemed too interested in ... see all copies from $12.55! new only from $12.55!
25 view cover	Foggy Mountain Breakdown [Box Set] (2004) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs see all copies from $58.84! new only from $58.84!
