1	Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970) more music like this by Derek and the Dominos Wishing to escape the superstar expectations that sank Blind Faith before it was launched, Eric Clapton retreated with several sidemen from Delaney & Bonnie to record the material that would form Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. From these meager beginnings grew his greatest album. Duane Allman joined the band shortly after recording began, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.77!
2	The Dock of the Bay (1968) more music like this by Otis Redding It was never supposed to be like this: "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" was supposed to mark a beginning of a new phase in Otis Redding's career, not an ending. Producer/guitarist Steve Cropper had a difficult task to perform in pulling together this album, the first of several posthumous releases issued by Stax/Volt in the wake of Otis Redding ... see all copies from $3.52! new only from $6.41!
3	Anthology (2003) more music like this by Nina Simone In appearance, this two-disc anthology would seem to be an exercise in hearse chasing, issued just months after the great singer's death. In reality, no matter what the intention of the record label, this anthology accomplishes what virtually every other attempt failed miserably to do: definitively represent all the stages of Simone's career. ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
4	The Layla Sessions: 20th Anniversary Edition (1990) more music like this by Derek & the Dominos This three-CD box did a lot of good for rock reissues, though not necessarily for the Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs album. It was the first high-profile reissue to treat rock with the same respect that scholars had long accorded jazz, going beyond the finished tracks to the outtakes and anything else usable that turned up in the vaults. ... see all copies from $23.74! new only from $38.19!
5	Feeling Good: The Very Best of Nina Simone (1994) more music like this by Nina Simone A fiery interpreter of the usually staid American songbook, Nina Simone took a song and made it her own -- whether it was Gershwin's "I Loves You, Porgy" or Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." This 1994 collection on Universal features selections from her Philips years of the mid-'60s, generally acknowledged as the pinnacle of her recording career, ... see all copies from $13.14! new only from $13.14!
6	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Nina Simone "... [N]o one compilation could possibly tell the entire Simone story (since she recorded over 30 albums from 1959 to 1993)," admits David Nathan in his liner notes to Hip-O/Verve's hyperbolically titled Nina Simone best-of, The Definitive Collection. He might have added that another difficulty in assembling a Simone compilation is that she ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
7	Out of Order (1988) more music like this by Rod Stewart With the support of Power Station guitarist Andy Taylor and drummer Bernard Edwards, Rod Stewart rebounds from his previous career nadir of "Love Touch" with Out of Order. Alternating between professional, driving rock & roll like "Lost in You" and ballads like "My Heart Can't Tell You No," Out of Order is a well-constructed set of mainstream pop ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $8.95!
8	Great Ladies Sing the Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Although only some of the featured artists on this budget-priced collection are blues singers in any strict sense, one thing's for certain -- they're all great ladies. Highlights include performances from Billie Holiday ("Good Morning Heartache"), Ella Fitzgerald ("Love for Sale"), Nina Simone ("Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out") and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.19!
9	Very Best of Otis Redding (2002) more music like this by Otis Redding This is a wonderful two-disc overview of Otis Redding's brief career, and it hits most of the high points, including such classics as "Respect," "Try a Little Tenderness," "Pain in My Heart," and "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." Also included are Redding's near-definitive version of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and the gorgeous (and ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.12!
10	The Soul Album (1966) more music like this by Otis Redding Otis Redding's talent began to surge, across songs and their stylesand absorbing them , with the recording of The Soul Album. In contrast to The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads, which was an advance over its predecessor but still a body of 12 songs of varying styles and textures, rising to peaks and never falling before an intense, soulful ... see all copies from $9.48! new only from $9.55!
11 view cover	Amtrak Blues (1978) more music like this by Alberta Hunter Alberta Hunter's second recording since launching her remarkable comeback (she was 83 when this album was cut) finds the veteran blues singer (a survivor of the 1920s) still in surprisingly strong form and full of spirit. Such songs as "Darktown Strutters' Ball," "My Handy Man," "Old Fashioned Love" and "I've Got a Mind to Ramble" are given fine ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $5.47!
12 view cover	Let the Good Times Roll: The Music of Louis Jordan (1999) more music like this by B.B. King Even if B.B. King is the King of the Blues, some might find it strange that he chose to record Let the Good Times Roll, a tribute album to Louis Jordan, the King of Jump Blues. King's work was never as boisterous or enthusiastic as Jordan's, but his debt is apparent from the first cut of the album. King may have never done straight jump blues, but ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $13.53!
13 view cover	Empty Bed Blues [Living Era] (1996) more music like this by Bessie Smith This collection of some of the best Bessie Smith recordings of 1927-1928 starts out quite happy with joyous versions of "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "After You've Gone," and "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," showing that Smith could turn anything into a blues. The mood darkens later in the program with such numbers as "Send Me to ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
14 view cover	Mr. Scrapper's Blues (1962) more music like this by Scrapper Blackwell Blackwell, it's not always remembered, was rediscovered in the late 1950s, though he didn't have much chance to make a new career out of the blues revival before his death a few years later. He performs well, but not wonderfully, on this July 1961 session in Indianapolis, accompanied only by his guitar (although he uses piano on one song, "Little ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
15 view cover	Very Best of MTV Unplugged, Vol. 3 [Bonus DVD] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
16 view cover	Odetta and the Blues (1962) more music like this by Odetta Odetta earned her rep singing traditional folk in the mid-'50s before the American folk revival got underway with the Kingston Trio and "Tom Dooley" in 1958. Unlike many of her contemporaries, however, she had a habit of going her own way from time to time. One of Odetta's most interesting deviations from straight folk, and one that caused a bit ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.29!
17 view cover	The Collection (1989) more music like this by Bessie Smith While there's no denying the importance and quality of Columbia/Legacy's Complete Recordings series, nine discs may seem a bit intimidating to the newcomer. Collection, a mid-priced, 16-track collection which spans most of Smith's career, ultimately does a better service to the casual listener with a limited budget. This is probably the best ... see all copies from $7.91!
18 view cover	Blues on Broadway (1989) more music like this by Ruth Brown Ruth Brown was starring on Broadway in Black and Blue when she recorded her second Fantasy set. The emphasis is on ancient standards (mostly from the 1920s) that predated Brown's rise as an R&B star in the '50s. Assisted by trumpeter Spanky Davis, tenorman Red Holloway, trombonist Britt Woodman, a rhythm section led by pianist/organist Bobby ... see all copies from $10.77! new only from $10.77!
19 view cover	The Best of Louis Jordan [MCA] (1977) more music like this by Louis Jordan This is a best-of CD collection that actually lives up to its name. Virtually all of Louis Jordan's hits, which musically bridged the gap between small-group swing, R&B, and rock & roll, are on this single CD, including "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Caldonia," ... see all copies from $5.48! new only from $8.66!
20 view cover	The Rhythm and the Blues (1995) more music like this by Sam Cooke From the title, you might infer that this 20-track compilation -- taken from early-'60s sessions, and principally composed of LP-only cuts -- aims to showcase Cooke's most soulful side. That's true to some degree, but this isn't his funkiest stuff; for that, look to Live at the Harlem Square Club 1963, or even his most up-tempo singles. Most of ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
21 view cover	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 $22.14! new only from $22.14!
22 view cover	Black and Blue (1991) more music like this by Gene Harris Quartet Although there are few actual blues on Black and Blue, pianist Gene Harris gives all of the songs (whether complex standards, ballads or near-blues) a bluesy feel, adding soul and a church feeling to each of the melodies. With the assistance of guitarist Ron Eschete, bassist Luther Hughes and drummer Harold Jones, Harris is in typically fine form. ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
23 view cover	The Man Who Invented Soul [Box Set] (2000) more music like this by Sam Cooke This set is near essential to fans of Sam Cooke, despite the fact that it contains none of his gospel recordings for Specialty Records or any of the work from the final year of his career (owned by ABKCO Records). Scattered every few minutes across this four-disc collection are reminders of just how far ahead of all existing musical forms Cooke ... see all copies from $42.60! new only from $42.60!
24 view cover	Ballad Essentials (2003) more music like this by Gene Harris This compilation draws 11 tracks from nine Gene Harris albums recorded for Concord Records between 1989 and 1995, and what's striking is how consistent those tracks are. Working at slow tempos, Harris plus his accompanists -- ranging from piano-guitar-bass-drums quartets to a duet with tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton ("At Last"); a trio with ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
25 view cover	Big Blues (1981) more music like this by Jimmy Witherspoon see all copies from $5.28! new only from $15.37!
