1	Red Headed Stranger (1975) more music like this by Willie Nelson Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger perhaps is the strangest blockbuster country produced, a concept album about a preacher on the run after murdering his departed wife and her new lover, told entirely with brief song-poems and utterly minimal backing. It's defiantly anticommercial and it demands intense concentration -- all reasons why nobody ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $11.06!
2	Harvest Home: Music for All Seasons (1999) more music like this by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason Times of great and intense joy and love, and also times of horrible anguish and tears, are portrayed and echoed in this musical score and the playing, particularly of Jay's fiddle, and also with Molly's singing. It is a tremendously moving piece at both a very primitive and a very cerebral level, effectively fusing the folk tradition with ... see all copies from $9.37! new only from $9.37!
3	The English Patient (1996) more music like this by Gabriel Yared/Original Soundtrack Gabriel Yared composed most of the music for the soundtrack of one of 1996's most acclaimed dramas, which was largely performed by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields; John Constable (on solo piano) and Marta Sebestyen (vocals) are also featured. Yared's score is mostly typical wide-screen epic stuff--nothing special. More interesting are ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.20!
4	Too Low for Zero (1983) more music like this by Elton John Elton John began inching back into the mainstream with Jump Up, an uneven but strong record highlighted by "Empty Garden." Its success set the stage for Too Low for Zero, a full-fledged reunion with his best collaborator, Bernie Taupin, and his classic touring band. Happily, this is a reunion that works like gangbusters, capturing everybody at a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.96!
5	Drum Crazy (2001) more music like this by Gene Krupa Although born in Chicago in 1909, Gene Krupa was descended from Russians and Poles -- the word "krupa" in Russian means "groats." After narrowly avoiding a career in the Catholic priesthood, young Krupa developed instead into a rowdy jazz drummer and by 1927 was making records with Ben Pollack, the Bucktown Five, and a band called the Chicagoans ... see all copies from $14.92! new only from $14.92!
6	The Blue Max (1966) more music like this by Jerry Goldsmith One of Jerry Goldsmith's best scores of the 1960s, and one that has bounced between several labels on LP and CD, The Blue Max finally comes into its own on Sony's expanded compact disc reissue, which boasts not only superior sound but all of the little bits of background source music used in various scenes in the movie. The film is a war epic ... see all copies from $6.25! new only from $6.25!
7	From Enslavement to Obliteration (1988) more music like this by Napalm Death Napalm Death's second full effort, From Enslavement to Obliteration in ways put the seal on what the band had done, with most of its members going off to pursue their own individual efforts soon thereafter, and as such is the perfect complement to Scum, showing the quartet both straining at the bit and honing its original approach to a T. Like ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $9.57!
8	Princess Mononoke (1999) more music like this by Joe Hisaishi Hayao Miyazaki's critically acclaimed anime film Princess Mononoke features an evocative score by Jo Hisaishi that reflects the movie's epic story of the battle between animal deities and humans in 14th century Japan.

9	The Quiet (1990) more music like this by John Michael Talbot see all copies from $2.50! new only from $16.95!
10	Canadian Bagpipes & American Brass (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Canadian Bagpipes & American Brass brings together the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's) Pipes & Drums with the Third Marine Aircraft Wing Band of the United States Marine Corps in a stirring set of traditional and patriotic melodies. Although both bands have solo tracks here, the best selections are when they combine forces. "All the ... see all copies from $8.19! new only from $9.55!
11 view cover	Rocka Rolla [Bonus Track] (2000) more music like this by Judas Priest A sketchy and underfocused debut, Rocka Rolla nonetheless begins to delineate the musical territory Judas Priest would explore over the remainder of the decade: frighteningly dark in its effect, tight in its grooves, and capable of expanding to epic song lengths. On the other hand, Rocka Rolla is also murkier, less precise and powerful in its riff ... see all copies from $8.63! new only from $10.18!
12 view cover	Songs from the Mountain (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Songs from the Mountain is a CD inspired by author Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain at 1999's MerleFest, and backed by an all-star band of bluegrass musicians like Tim O'Brien, Dirk Powell and John Herrmann.

15 view cover	RT: The Life and Music of Richard Thompson (2006) more music like this by Richard Thompson Given the length, breadth, and impact of his career as, arguably, the most revered figure in British folk-rock since he first joined Fairport Convention in 1967, it's no surprise that Richard Thompson has been honored with the multi-disc box set treatment not once, but twice. In 1993, noted Thompson, aficionado Edward Haber compiled Watching the ... see all copies from $55.00! new only from $71.21!

19 view cover	Retreat from the Sun (1997) more music like this by that dog. Retreat from the Sun began its life as Anna Waronker's first solo album, and if you listen intently, those origins are apparent, particularly in the tenor of the songs themselves. that dog. previously veered toward cute-pop, and while there are remnants of that throughout the album, Waronker's songs are considerably more personal than before, ... see all copies from $3.99!
20 view cover	Just One Love (1996) more music like this by Willie Nelson Willie Nelson's Just One Love is, for the most part, a collection of country standards.

23 view cover	Capture/Release [Bonus Track] (2006) more music like this by The Rakes Out of all the post-punk- and new wave-inspired bands coming out of the U.K. in the 2000s, the Rakes are the closest to straightforward, meat-and-potatoes punk. They set their tales of urban claustrophobia to alternately bouncy and angular rock that recalls the Clash and the paranoid sounds of the Stranglers, and also echo contemporaries like the ... see all copies from $5.53! new only from $13.40!
24 view cover	RCA Country Legends (2003) more music like this by Hank Locklin Hank Locklin had a high, plaintive voice and a taste for heartbreaking barroom ballads and pure honky tonk that made him one of the best straight-ahead country singers of the '50s and early '60s. Although he had some big hits -- most notable his original "Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On" and "Please Help Me, I'm Falling," along with "Why Baby ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
