1	Crossroads (1986) more music like this by Ry Cooder The ersatz blues story of the film gives Ry Cooder leeway to turn in an impressive blues-derived soundtrack featuring Sonny Terry along with his usual collaborators Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner, Nathan East, and others. But it's Cooder's guitar playing that highlights the album. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.99!
2	Riot City Blues (2006) more music like this by Primal Scream If at first you don't succeed, try again. Riot City Blues is another attempt at straight-up trad rock where the ghosts of the Faces, the Rolling Stones, and others come traipsing into Bobby Gillespie's scope and he goes for it. Some heard an overly strenuous attempt at this on 1994's Give Out But Don't Give Up, where it worked not at all due to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.84!
3	Dirt Track Date (1996) more music like this by Southern Culture on the Skids After spending the first half of the 1990s as one of America's hardest-working independent bands, Southern Culture on the Skids took the bait and signed with a major label in 1995, releasing its fifth album, Dirt Track Date, on Geffen/DGC that year. Dirt Track Date proved to be something of a disappointment for the group's hardcore fans; nearly ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.99!
4	Muscle Shoals Nitty Gritty (1970) more music like this by Herbie Mann Although it followed a formula similar to the hugely successful Memphis Underground, Muscle Shoals Nitty Gritty stands on its own as a superb example of the fusion of jazz with '60s soul music, a genre that Herbie Mann stood atop at the time of its release. In addition to Mann band members Roy Ayers, Miroslav Vitous and Bruno Carr, the recording ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
5	Gold (2006) more music like this by Gladys Knight With the onslaught of greatest-hits compilations available, it's hard to decipher which versions are truly thorough and definitive. However, this Gold edition is truly something special. It features not only the best of the early years when Gladys Knight & the Pips were a doo wop-styled group, it also contains a seamless transition to their tenure ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $2.25!
6	Silver's Serenade (1963) more music like this by Horace Silver Horace Silver's LP Silver's Serenade is a swan song; it was the final recording with his most famous quintet, which included drummer Roy Brooks, bassist Gene Taylor, saxophonist Junior Cook, and trumpeter Blue Mitchell. The band had made five previous recordings for the label, all of them successful. The program here is comprised of Silver ... see all copies from $10.55! new only from $10.55!
7	Cruisin' 1964 (1986) more music like this by Various Artists An instantly recognizable bargain bin staple since the late '70s, thanks to their colorful comic book covers tracing the romantic life of an Everycouple named Peg and Eddie, the Cruisin' series of discs are built on a brilliant concept: each disc is devoted to a single year, with hit songs, local commercials, station jingles, and news headlines ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $8.58!
8	Keep the Customer Satisfied (1970) more music like this by Buddy Rich The inclusion of the Paul Simon title cut (which is pretty catchy) and an 11-minute, four-song "Midnight Cowboy Medley" may make one think that this is a fairly commercial Buddy Rich big-band disc. But the arrangements are by Bill Holman, Don Piestrup and Roger Neumann; the other songs are originals by the trio, and among the soloists are altoists ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
9	The Ultimate Collection (1997) more music like this by Gladys Knight & the Pips The Ultimate Collection nearly lives up to its billing, featuring 22 tracks on a single disc. Among the featured cuts are all of Gladys Knight & the Pips' Top Ten pop hits for Soul Records, including "Everybody Needs Love," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "The End of Our Road," "It Should Have Been Me," "The Nitty Gritty," "Friendship Train," ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
10	Whatcha Gonna Do? (1998) more music like this by Jayo Felony see all copies from $7.16! new only from $7.16!
11 view cover	Simon Birch (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.00!
12 view cover	Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band The first album issued by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band after they had temporarily disbanded in 1969, this greatly expanded their pop audience, due primarily to the Top Ten hit cover of Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles" (which actually wasn't a hit until early 1971). The group moved into a more accessible rock-oriented fusion of country, bluegrass, ... see all copies from $10.55! new only from $10.55!
13 view cover	Doublewide and Live [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Southern Culture on the Skids While Southern Culture on the Skids have been making good-to-great records since 1991's Too Much Pork for Just One Fork, their real strength has always been as a live act, and anyone who has seen them on-stage knows a typical SCOTS show is a sweat-soaked frenzy of roaring guitars, pounding drums, manic dancing, and fried chicken flying through the ... see all copies from $15.09! new only from $15.09!
14 view cover	You Came a Long Way from St. Louis: The Many Sides of Chuck Berry (2006) more music like this by Chuck Berry The Universal U.K. 2006 double-disc set You Came a Long Way from St. Louis was designed as a companion piece to their 2006 comp Reelin' and Rockin': The Very Best of Chuck Berry, an excellent 56-track roundup of the Berry basics. Where that offered up the hits, this 31-track set digs much deeper, culling album tracks and singles that aren't often ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $9.12!
15 view cover	Stay with the Hollies/In the Hollies Style (2004) more music like this by The Hollies The year 2004 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of the Hollies' first two albums, Stay With the Hollies and In the Hollies Style, by EMI Records' Parlophone label, and EMI celebrated by reissuing the albums together in its "60s 2 on 1" CD two-fer series. Originally released ten months apart, in January 1964 and November 1964, respectively ... see all copies from $24.79! new only from $24.79!
16 view cover	Silk & Soul/Nitty Gritty (2006) more music like this by Gladys Knight This latest edition in Motown's campaign to reissue albums from Gladys Knight & the Pips' tenure at the label features 1968's Silk & Soul and 1969's Nitty Gritty. Silk & Soul is an album of remakes featuring contemporary hits from the label and elsewhere. As a result, the album didn't fare particularly well due to the lack of a solid single to ... see all copies from $8.51! new only from $8.51!
17 view cover	Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy (1970) more music like this by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band The first album issued by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band after they had temporarily disbanded in 1969, this greatly expanded their pop audience, due primarily to the Top 10 hit cover of Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles" (which actually wasn't a hit until early 1971). The group moved into a more accessible rock-oriented fusion of country, bluegrass, ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $17.72!
18 view cover	Anthology [2001] (2001) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes This release marks the fourth time a Supremes collection titled Anthology has hit the racks. Fans can be forgiven for getting confused, even aggravated, as to which one should be selected above others, as all of them contain the basic big hits for which the group is known. Motown keeps tweaking the precise track lineup with each edition, however, ... see all copies from $18.99!
19 view cover	Catwalk (1994) more music like this by Special EFX That question about what sort of project to do next applies even to artists that are slightly less than legendary, like Special EFX. Guitarist Chieli Minucci and percussion maestro George Jinda come pretty close to the lofty status as far as the pop instrumental genre goes, having been cranking out solid hit after hit for GRP and JVC since the ... see all copies from $7.97!
20 view cover	Chuck Berry's Golden Hits (1967) more music like this by Chuck Berry Golden Hits is a collection of Chuck Berry's greatest hits, re-recorded in the late '60s for his new label, Mercury. Berry's performances are utterly without inspiration -- it's clear he is only in it for the money at this point. He adds one new song, the flat "Club Nitty Gritty," but the real embarrassment is the pedestrian, listless quality of ... see all copies from $2.13! new only from $8.22!
21 view cover	Wacky Favorites: Weird & Wild (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Time-Life Music's Wacky Favorites: Weird and Wild features 12 novelty hits, including "Short Shorts" by the Royal Teens, "Auctioneer" by Leroy Van Dyke, "Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Cymbal, "Hot Rod Lincoln" by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" by Brian Hyland and "Transfusion" by Nervous ... see all copies from $23.96! new only from $23.96!
22 view cover	Last Call: Live at Boston Tea Party, April 2, 1970 (2000) more music like this by Otis Spann Essential primarily as a historical document, this album's tapes -- recorded in 1970 only three weeks before the pianist's death from liver cancer -- were thought to have been destroyed until they were found in a warehouse in 1999. Otis Spann, the classic Chicago bluesman whose work is revered and studied by almost every blues pianist who followed ... see all copies from $23.34! new only from $23.34!
23 view cover	Live from the Limo, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Texas Tornados It's hard to imagine a better place for the Texas Tornados to record a live album than Antone's in Austin, Texas, where the Tex-Mex superstar act performed in December 1998. The group draws heavily on its 1990 debut album, performing six of its ten tracks. Since they never really improved on that set, that's fine, and they add to it by including ... see all copies from $4.72! new only from $9.41!
24 view cover	Koko Taylor (1969) more music like this by Koko Taylor Straight digital reissue of Taylor's debut Chess album from 1969. Produced by Willie Dixon (who can intermittently be heard as a duet partner), the set is one of the strongest representations of the belter's Chess days available, with her immortal smash "Wang Dang Doodle," and the chunky "Twenty-Nine Ways," "I'm a Little Mixed Up," and "Don't Mess ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.15!
25 view cover	Riot City Blues [Europe] (2006) more music like this by Primal Scream If at first you don't succeed, try again. Riot City Blues is another attempt at straight-up trad rock where the ghosts of the Faces, the Rolling Stones, and others come traipsing into Bobby Gillespie's scope and he goes for it. Some heard an overly strenuous attempt at this on 1994's Give Out But Don't Give Up, where it worked not at all due to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.39!
