1	Billboard #1s: Classic Country (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's 2006 double-disc set Billboard #1s: Classic Country serves up 30 big hits that have topped the Billboard Country charts, stretching back as far as Hank Snow's 1950 standard "I'm Moving On" and running all the way to Randy Travis' 1987 classic "Forever and Ever, Amen." Not that the songs on Billboard #1s: Classic Country are presented in ... see all copies from $17.24! new only from $17.24!
2	Mama Tried/Pride in What I Am (2006) more music like this by Merle Haggard In early 2006, roughly in time for the 40th anniversary of Merle Haggard's debut album, Capitol Nashville launched an ambitious Haggard catalog project, reissuing ten albums as a series of five two-fers, each adorned with bonus tracks. All these albums had been reissued before, either stateside by Capitol or Koch or in the U.K. by EMI or BGO, but ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
3	Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard (2006) more music like this by Merle Haggard There are perhaps as many as a hundred Merle Haggard compilations out there on labels obscure and well-known. Most of them are crap because they present too few of the great songwriter's works and/or do so in a dodgy manner. Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard, issued by Capitol, isn't one of them. In fact, it just may be the best single-disc ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.68!
4	40 #1 Hits (2004) more music like this by Merle Haggard With a title like 40 #1 Hits, it's easy to assume that the collection will contain nothing but number one hits, whether it's from the Billboard charts or Cash Box, and it's also easy to assume that it would contain all of an artist's number one hits. In the case of Merle Haggard's double-disc 2004 collection, neither is true. Using just the ... see all copies from $19.00! new only from $19.00!
5	Classic Country Gold (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Hip-O's 2005 double-disc set Classic Country Gold casts a wide net. It begins with Hank Williams' 1951 hit "Hey, Good Lookin'" and ends with Patty Loveless' 1989 hit "Timber, I'm Falling in Love." In between those two tracks are 34 songs, most of them indeed living up to "classic" status. While this doesn't necessarily make for the most consistent ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $12.49!
6	Down Every Road (1996) more music like this by Merle Haggard Merle Haggard is a rarity: a complex artist whose rich scope can accurately be summarized through singles, but who has far more great material than can be fit on one or two discs. Which, of course, makes him the perfect candidate for a box set, and Capitol released the first comprehensive Hag retrospective in 1996 with the four-disc set Down Every ... see all copies from $47.08! new only from $47.08!
7	Okie from Muskogee (1969) more music like this by Merle Haggard & the Strangers Okie from Muskogee was quickly recorded to cash in on the success of the title song, which became a pop music sensation upon its release in the fall of 1969. Haggard & the Strangers went to Muskogee, OK, where they ran through a number of their hits and working-class anthems. The first side is devoted to classics like "Mama Tried," "Swinging Doors ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $5.05!
8	For the Record: 43 Legendary Hits (1999) more music like this by Merle Haggard Released to coincide with the publication of Hag's autobiography, My House of Memories, For the Record: 43 Legendary Hits is a lavish double-disc set of re-recordings of his biggest hits. With co-producer Lou Bradley, Haggard wisely keeps things spare, simple, and direct, letting the 1999 version of the Strangers, along with a number of studio ... see all copies from $12.49!
9	Roots (1968) more music like this by The Everly Brothers Considered one of the finest early country-rock albums, this showed the Everlys, unlike virtually every other top rock & roll act of the '50s, keeping abreast of contemporary rock and pop trends. In the manner of their 1958 LP Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, the concept was to cover songs by performers and composers who had been influential on the duo ... see all copies from $7.58! new only from $10.67!
10	Live at the Cow Palace: New Years Eve 1976 (2007) more music like this by The Grateful Dead The 41 shows the Grateful Dead played in 1976 constituted a kind of shakedown cruise for the band, which had gone on hiatus from live performing in October 1974 and given only four concerts during 1975. In the spring of 1976, they suddenly reappeared with a film, The Grateful Dead Movie, and a live album, Steal Your Face, and between June 3 and ... see all copies from $20.85! new only from $27.30!
11 view cover	Home Recordings: Americana (2003) more music like this by Jim Croce Whenever a chart-topping artist dies early, it's almost guaranteed that somewhere down the line, a collection of unreleased tracks and/or demos will surface. Case in point: the 2003 Jim Croce release Home Recordings: Americana. Issued just a month past the 30th anniversary of Croce's tragic passing, Home Recordings collects 15 tracks of exactly ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.39!
12 view cover	16 Biggest Hits (1998) more music like this by Merle Haggard One could easily get the impression, just perusing the front and back covers of this album, that it contains the original recordings of some of Merle Haggard's most popular recordings -- this is, as a sleeve note puts it, a "unique, chronological collection." In fact, 13 of the 16 tracks are re-recordings made by Haggard in October 1994; only "Big ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $6.99!
13 view cover	Alive & Wired (2005) more music like this by Old 97's In his liner notes to this album, Old 97's guitarist Ken Bethea writes, "When I think of the Old 97's, the thing that makes me the most proud is that we've always been a smoking live band." Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing the Old 97's on-stage knows that Bethea isn't just blowing his own horn when he says that, and this double-disc set ... see all copies from $8.35! new only from $14.56!
14 view cover	20 Greatest Hits (2002) more music like this by Merle Haggard For the money, you are not going to find a more definitive Greatest Hits by Merle Haggard. There are 20 cuts on this baby and all of 'em were bona fide hit singles that basically defined the man's well-earned reputation as a great poet of the working class -- not to mention as a country songwriter. Haggard's Epic period may not be here, nor ... see all copies from $11.70! new only from $15.11!
15 view cover	Prison (2001) more music like this by Merle Haggard Following in the marketing footsteps of Columbia/Legacy's 2000 thematic Johnny Cash releases (Murder, Love, God), Capitol Records gave Merle Haggard's back catalog a similar treatment in 2001 with four separate installments: Hurtin', Drinkin', Prison, and Cheatin'. While it's impossible to narrow Haggard's Prison songs down to ten, the compilers ... see all copies from $5.04! new only from $5.04!
16 view cover	Me, S. David Cohen (1970) more music like this by David Blue For this album only, David Blue reverted to his name, David Cohen. By this time, impressively, the overt Bob Dylan-isms of his 1966 debut had faded far enough that most listeners would not automatically peg him as a Dylan imitator anymore. It's a little Dylan-esque, certainly, but not more so than several other singer/songwriters of the period. ... see all copies from $13.94! new only from $13.94!
17 view cover	Dick's Picks, Vol. 20 (2000) more music like this by Grateful Dead Dick's Picks, Vol. 20 finds a revived Grateful Dead circa autumn 1976, after a self-imposed 20-month touring sabbatical. Barely three months back on the road and the Dead are forging unique performance characteristics -- some of which they would retain for the remainder of their touring career. This massive set celebrates the Dead's triumphant ... see all copies from $21.54! new only from $21.54!
18 view cover	Greatest Hits [Cema] (1995) more music like this by Merle Haggard Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of some of Merle Haggard's hits, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such hits as "Swinging Doors," "Sing Me Back Home," "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive," "Branded Man," "Okie From Muskogee," "Hungry Eyes," "Mama Tried," ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
19 view cover	Legends of American Music: The Original Outlaw (2007) more music like this by Merle Haggard A number of Merle Haggard box sets preceded this one to fruition, among them 1996's four-disc,100-track Down Every Road, as comprehensive and essential a collection of country music as you're ever likely to hear. At three discs and 60 tracks, Time Life's Legends of American Music: The Original Outlaw admittedly doesn't offer as much Hag, but in ... see all copies from $34.02! new only from $34.02!
20 view cover	Scenechronized (2007) more music like this by The Seldom Scene In a way, it seems to make little sense to call the Seldom Scene "the Seldom Scene," because only one member -- banjoist Ben Eldridge -- is an original member; furthermore, while the band has retained certain characteristics over the last 30 years (the Dobro, for instance), there is no resemblance to the Starling/Duffey-led band of the '70s. ... see all copies from $15.18! new only from $15.18!
21 view cover	Hitchhike to Rhome (1994) more music like this by Old 97's Many bands blend country and rock, but few brew this concoction as well as the Old 97's on Hitchhike to Rhome. Energetic frontman Rhett Miller commands attention as a charismatic vocalist and clever songwriter on tracks such as "St. Ignatius" and "If My Heart Was a Car." On the album's highlight "Stoned," he even manages to successfully infuse the ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
22 view cover	4 Country Living Legends (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
23 view cover	Billboard Top Country Hits: 1968 (1968) more music like this by Various Artists It's 1968 and Rhino has stepped in to help one and all relive the year's chart-topping country memories. The Nashville sound was in full swing and the mix took in honky tonk, pop, West Coast, and some kitsch. On the rawer, outlaw end, Merle Haggard ("Mama Tried") and Johnny Cash ("Folsom Prison Blues") find the Top 40 without too many concessions. ... see all copies from $67.77! new only from $67.77!
24 view cover	Super Hits, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Merle Haggard see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Outlaws and Angels (2004) more music like this by Willie Nelson & Friends Outlaws and Angels is the audio counterpart to the Willie Nelson Special that aired on cable television in the summer of 2004. Here, Nelson is surrounded by friends who also happen to be fans. Among them are Keith Richards, Lucinda Williams, Merle Haggard, Carole King, Al Green, the Holmes Brothers, Toby Keith, Kid Rock, Shelby Lynne, Jerry Lee ... see all copies from $4.56! new only from $10.96!
