1	The Harder They Come (1972) more music like this by Jimmy Cliff In 1973, when the movie The Harder They Come was released, reggae was not on the radar screen of American pop culture. The soundtrack went a ways toward changing that situation. It is a collection of consistently excellent early reggae songs by artists who went on to thrive with reggae's increased popularity and others for whom this is the most ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $11.12!
2	Labour of Love I II & III: The Platinum Collection (2003) more music like this by UB40 For those UB40 fans who have to have everything, this triple-disc box replaces the Labour of Love albums individually -- or at least it is meant to. Virtually every single is here, and there's a load of B-sides, 12" mixes, and the best of the album cuts. Only the hardest of the hardcore followers of the band will be slapping down the cash for this ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $20.82!
3	Ultimate Collection (2004) more music like this by Joe Cocker Hip-O's Joe Cocker Ultimate Collection contains 20 original tracks spanning the gruff-voiced singer's 30-plus years of recordings for A&M, MCA, Island, Capitol, and Sony Records. While a few favorites have been left out ("Put Out the Light," "High Time We Went," and "Jamaica Say You Will"), you can't argue with "Delta Lady," "You Are So Beautiful, ... see all copies from $10.90! new only from $10.90!
4	Prisoner in Disguise (1975) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt Linda Ronstadt followed the commercial and critical breakthrough success of Heart Like a Wheel with Prisoner in Disguise, a record that essentially repeats the formula of its predecessor. While it lacks the consistency of Heart Like a Wheel, it's thoroughly enjoyable, highlighted by sturdy remakes of the Motown classics "Tracks of My Tears" and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.03!
5	Pussy Cats (1974) more music like this by Nilsson The relationship between Harry Nilsson and John Lennon is legendary. They were notorious booze hounds and carousers, getting kicked out of clubs for misbehavior and generally terrorizing L.A. during Lennon's "lost weekend" of 1974. They wanted to make an album together -- hell, anyone working at such a peak would -- and the result was Pussy Cats, ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $35.74!
6	Higher Ground (2002) more music like this by Blind Boys of Alabama Higher Ground, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama's second album for Real World, is even more of a crossover effort than 1997's Spirit of the Century. It sports a classics-heavy track listing, including great choices of inspirational material from R&B legends Stevie Wonder ("Higher Ground"), Curtis Mayfield ("People Get Ready"), Aretha Franklin ( ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $3.95!
7	Ultimate Collection (1999) more music like this by Jimmy Cliff Not a career-spanning overview, as opening number "Wonderful World, Beautiful People" dates from 1969, seven years into Jimmy Cliff's career, but this is an excellent trawl through his past nonetheless. Ultimate Collection should really have kicked off with "Waterfall," his first international hit (number one in Brazil), but "World" brought him ... see all copies from $5.96! new only from $10.96!
8	Café del Mar, Vol. 9 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The popular Cafe del Mar series returns with Vol. 9, compiled by longtime curator DJ Bruno. As with the series' other volumes, this collection features plenty of atmospheric chill-out music, including Lovers Lane's "Island Memories," which sports a bassline uncannily similar to that of Grandmaster Flash's "White Lines (Don't Do It)"; Kalliope's ... see all copies from $17.45! new only from $17.45!
9	Pussy Cats (2006) more music like this by The Walkmen Remaking an entire album -- especially one as rooted in mood and the performers involved as Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats -- seems about as wise an idea as Gus Van Sant's shot-by-shot remake of Psycho. Fortunately, the Walkmen's song-by-song redo of Pussy Cats doesn't come off as a half-baked technical exercise. The band remains loyal to the rambling ... see all copies from $12.61! new only from $12.61!
10	Ultimate Collection (2000) more music like this by Toni Childs Toni Childs spits out lyrics on up-tempo tunes like rounds blasting from an AK-47. Unfortunately, she doesn't do many ups. She's easier on ballads and mid-tempo songs, but still register red-zone readings. The singer/songwriter has been labeled everything from alternative rock to pop/rock -- everything but the soul singer she is. Aretha Franklin ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $10.96!
11 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Jimmy Cliff (2004) more music like this by Jimmy Cliff Although Jamaica's Jimmy Cliff has had a long and continuing career on the international scene with his thoughtful and infectious brand of reggae-pop, his best work was undoubtedly done in the late '60s and early '70s, the period covered by this collection. Everything that is absolutely essential is here, from his breakthrough hit, 1969's ... see all copies from $5.80! new only from $8.34!
12 view cover	Gold (2006) more music like this by Joe Cocker Hip-O's double-disc Joe Cocker set Gold unites the tracks on 2004's single-disc Ultimate Collection with 16 favorites that had been left off that package due to space restrictions. With that situation corrected, these original recordings span the singer's 30-plus years by not only including all the obvious favorites from his A&M days ("Feelin' ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
13 view cover	Personal Best: The Harry Nilsson Anthology (1995) more music like this by Harry Nilsson Spanning two discs, Personal Best: The Harry Nilsson Anthology is a comprehensive overview of Nilsson's varied career, including all of the hits and many significant album tracks, yet it offers too much material for the casual fan, who would be better served by All-Time Greatest Hits. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.99! new only from $15.68!
14 view cover	Greatest Love Songs (2003) more music like this by Joe Cocker At once rousing and intimate, Joe Cocker's Greatest Love Songs gathers some of his most romantic performances from the '60s through the '90s, including the classic "You Are So Beautiful" and his hit duet with Jennifer Warnes, "Up Where We Belong." Covers of rock love songs like "Just Like a Woman," "Something," and "Darling Be Home Soon" dominate ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
15 view cover	The Best of UB40, Vols. 1 & 2 (2005) more music like this by UB40 see all copies from $10.95! new only from $10.95!
16 view cover	Pure Reggae (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Pure Reggae doesn't seem as obvious a choice as Pure Moods or Pure Celtic, largely because it seems earthy, not mystical. Pure Reggae doesn't dispel that notion, especially since it contains such party anthems as Apache Indian's "Boom Shakalak" and Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue," as well as bastardized mainstream reggae-pop like Big Mountain's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.98!
17 view cover	Jimmy Cliff (1969) more music like this by Jimmy Cliff In 1968, Island Records released Jimmy Cliff's debut album, Hard Road, swiftly following it the next year with a self-titled full-length set (retitled Wonderful World, Beautiful People for U.S. release). Under any name it was a superb set, one that would further bolster Leslie Kong's reputation as the producer with the golden touch. Of all the ... see all copies from $7.10! new only from $10.80!
18 view cover	The Harder They Come [Deluxe Edition] (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Some liberal interpretation of what can constitute the bonus material of a deluxe edition went into this two-CD edition of The Harder They Come, which in its original release was both a classic reggae album and a classic soundtrack. The additional material on the second disc is not outtakes from the soundtrack or some such intimately related work, ... see all copies from $27.05! new only from $27.05!
19 view cover	The Very Best of Oleta Adams [#2] (1998) more music like this by Oleta Adams The Very Best of Oleta Adams primarily consists of material from her first three albums. The big mystery of this 1998 collection is the lack of material from 1990's Circle of One, by far her strongest and more musically varied set of songs. A mere three tunes are included here: "Get Here," the Soul II Soul-styled "Rhythm of Life," and the rousing ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
20 view cover	Wonderful World, Beautiful People (1970) more music like this by Jimmy Cliff A fast follow-up to 1967's Hard Road, Jimmy Cliff's debut full-length, his self-titled album arrived in 1969. This second set would also introduce him to American audiences, with the set retitled Wonderful World, Beautiful People after the track selected as the first to be spun off on 45. The album would indeed charm the globe, its lavish ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.29!
21 view cover	Everybody's Talkin' [BMG] (1997) more music like this by Harry Nilsson BMG Special Products' Everybody's Talkin': The Encore Collection is a fine budget-priced collection that concentrates on Harry Nilsson's soft-rock recordings, such as "Everybody's Talkin'" and "One." Though the shambling version of "Many Rivers to Cross" (taken from the ridiculous Pussy Cats album) is here, much of his weirder stuff is not, ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $4.98!
22 view cover	Sister Love: The Warner Bros. Recordings (2006) more music like this by Lorraine Ellison Lorraine Ellison is almost a perfect cult soul singer: she was blessed with a unique, powerful voice, she had two stone-cold classics to her name -- 1966's "Stay with Me" and "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)," which was later popularized by Janis Joplin -- which is enough success to get her remembered by aficionados but not enough to make her a ... see all copies from $53.19! new only from $53.19!
23 view cover	The Ultimate Collection 1968-2003 (2003) more music like this by Joe Cocker Calling something "The Ultimate Collection" is fraught with problems -- usually of omission. Certainly over these two discs -- containing a total of 30 tracks -- there are plenty of fine moments from some of Joe Cocker's earliest material, such as "The Letter," "With a Little Help From My Friends," "Delta Lady," "She Came In Through the Bathroom ... see all copies from $17.15! new only from $17.15!
24 view cover	Prisoner of the Heart (2002) more music like this by Mary Ann Redmond Mary Ann Redmond is a Washington, D.C.-based rock/blues/soul vocalist who packs a mighty wallop, especially when performing a gutsy rendition of Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" and her heartening soul/jazz spin on Sam Cooke's "You Send Me." With this release, Redmond garners sturdy support from her sextet and duo of background singers. Her ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.94!
25 view cover	Soft Lee (1997) more music like this by Byron Lee & the Dragonaires Soft Lee effectively combines soca, soul, and reggae. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
