1	The Definitive Dinah Washington (2002) more music like this by Dinah Washington This 20-track compilation released as a joint venture by Verve and Blue Note, covers a lot of ground -- from 1943 to 1962 -- but then, so did Dinah Washington. She sang down and dirty blues, lush ballads, romantic standards, sophisticated R&B, swinging jazz, and even country, and this disc gives a taste of each style. Her earliest recordings were ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $6.05!
2	The Essential Bessie Smith (1997) more music like this by Bessie Smith Although there are a multitude of box sets chronicling Bessie's entire recorded career, this two-disc, 36-song set sweats it down to the bare essentials in quite an effective manner. Bessie could sing it all, from the lowdown moan of "St. Louis Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" to her torch treatment of the jazz standard ... see all copies from $16.70! new only from $16.70!
3	Very Best of Dinah Washington (2006) more music like this by Dinah Washington see all copies from $23.99! new only from $23.99!
4	Dinah Washington Sings Bessie Smith (1957) more music like this by Dinah Washington Gifted with a strong, beautiful voice and very precise phrasing, Dinah Washington translated Bessie Smith's irrepressible spirit and flair even better than Billie Holiday, Smith's most famous devotee. For her tribute album, Washington avoided Smith's best-known songs ("'Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do," "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $10.69!
5	The Undisputed Queen of the Blues (2006) more music like this by Bessie Smith see all copies from $8.47! new only from $8.47!
6	The Difference Is Dinah (2000) more music like this by Dinah Washington Dinah Washington is often cornered by history into the narrow confines of pop music and jazz vocals. Actually, she was a queen of song at a time when blues, jazz and R&B intersected in an advanced popular art form. Her music is celebrated in this three-CD set. On The Diff'rence Is Dinah, we hear Washington's pop songs, like "What a Difference a ... see all copies from $22.06! new only from $22.06!
7	Every Day I Have the Blues [Goldies Box] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This three-disc set features a total of 42 classic blues recordings, some going back to the 1920s. There's no rhyme or reason to the set, except that all of the tracks are classic recordings from Bessie Smith's "St. Louis Blues" and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads," "Hellhound on My Trail," and "Kindhearted Woman Blues" to Etta James' "At Last" and B ... see all copies from $7.59! new only from $7.59!
8	The Bessie Smith Songbook (1957) more music like this by Dinah Washington It was only natural that the "Queen of the Blues" should record songs associated with the "Empress of the Blues." The performances by the septet/octet do not sound like the 1920s and the purposely ricky-tick drumming is insulting, but Dinah Washington sounds quite at home on this music. "Trombone Butter" (featuring trombonist Quentin Jackson in ... see all copies from $24.99!
9	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Bessie Smith (2003) more music like this by Bessie Smith When filmmaker Ken Burns' multi-part documentary Jazz ran on PBS in 2001, Sony and Universal teamed up on a series of compilation albums of artists featured in the show, and sales were brisk. In 2003, film director Martin Scorsese served as executive producer of a series of films under the umbrella heading The Blues for PBS, and Sony and Universal ... see all copies from $29.76! new only from $29.76!
10	Woman's Trouble Blues (2000) more music like this by Bessie Smith This is a perfectly acceptable double disc compilation of the great Bessie Smith's work from her Okeh and Columbia sides. Given that it's on Snapper, it doesn't suffer form some of the terrible mastering that some other labels issued in the past. There are 40 cuts spread out here, including both parts of "Empty Bed Blues," back to back, which is a ... see all copies from $23.39! new only from $23.39!
11 view cover	Complete Recordings, Vol. 7 (2004) more music like this by Bessie Smith British reissue label Frog Records has undertaken the task of reissuing the complete recordings of Bessie Smith in chronological order, and this installment is the seventh of eight single-disc packages. The series as a whole essentially duplicates Columbia's nine-disc coverage of the same material, so it really comes down to a matter of preference ... see all copies from $21.90! new only from $21.90!
