1	Gord's Gold (1975) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Following the success of Sundown, Gordon Lightfoot continued his success by releasing a greatest-hits compilation. A double album (now a single CD), it contained the most popular songs from his Warner Bros. years on disc two, and he re-recorded many of his early songs for side one of record one. Although not as good, perhaps, as the originals, ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $9.52!
2	A Lifetime of Song (1951-1982) (1983) more music like this by Marty Robbins It's a mystery why Columbia has so many Robbins compilations in print, since they all cover roughly the same territory. Lifetime of Song (1951-1982) isn't as comprehensive as the Essential Marty Robbins: 1951-1982 box, nor as concise as The Story of My Life; what it is, rather, is a kind of a follow-up to 1972's All-Time Greatest Hits collection, ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $7.92!
3	The Essential Connie Smith (1996) more music like this by Connie Smith Connie Smith is perhaps the only female singer in the history of country music who can truly claim to be the heiress to Patsy Cline's throne. It's not that there aren't many amazing vocalists in the field, and plenty of legends among them. But in terms of the pure gift of interpretation of taking virtually any song and making it a country song of ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.02!
4	The Essential Marty Robbins (2005) more music like this by Marty Robbins Sony's Essential Marty Robbins highlights 40 remastered tracks recorded during the singer's lengthy tenure with Columbia, following the major paths Robbins' 30-year-career took. Starting with his first number one country single, "I'll Go On Alone," in 1952 and the crossover pop collaborations of the era with Mitch Miller and the Ray Conniff ... see all copies from $19.36! new only from $19.36!
5	The Best of Gordon Lightfoot (1989) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot A compilation of material Lightfoot recorded for United Artists in the '60s, and this features the best of that period, including Lightfoot standards such as "For Lovin' Me," "Early Morning Rain," and "Canadian Railroad Trilogy." William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.00! new only from $7.03!
6	16 Biggest Hits (1998) more music like this by Marty Robbins Since Marty Robbins scored 16 number one country hits between 1952 and 1976, a list of them provides a good standard against which to measure an album called 16 Biggest Hits. By that standard, the album scores 15 out of 16, presenting Robbins' number one hits from 1952's "I'll Go Alone" to 1976's "Among My Souvenirs," with one exception. "El Paso ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.63!
7	Classic Masters (2003) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot The Gordon Lightfoot entry in EMI's Classic Masters series of discount-priced compilations is a typical effort and not much different from the numerous best-of releases previously issued from Lightfoot's five-album tenure on United Artists Records, 1966-1969. At the time, Lightfoot was better known as a songwriter than as a performer, and his UA ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $2.35!
8	Early Morning Rain: The Best of Gordon Lightfoot (1976) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Early Morning Rain is a budget-line, 12-track sampler of Lightfoot's early recordings, featuring versions of "Early Morning Rain," "The Last Time I Saw Her," "I Want to Hear It from You," "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," "Did She Mention My Name," "The Way I Feel" and "Does Your Mother Know." There are better collections of this material, ... see all copies from $5.05! new only from $5.05!
9	Songbook [Box Set] (1999) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Gordon Lightfoot's Songbook is a career-spanning, four-CD, 88-song box set with a pretty chronologically even balance of material from the mid-'60s through 1998. It also has 15 previously unreleased cuts, as well as his 1962 debut single, "(Remember Me) I'm the One"/"It's Too Late, He Wins" (which is lame MOR Nashville country). One could quibble ... see all copies from $52.59! new only from $52.59!
10	Sunday Concert (1969) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Recorded at a March 1969 concert in Toronto, Sunday Concert holds more interest than the usual live album because about half of the songs are Gordon Lightfoot compositions that had not been previously recorded in the studio. Accompanied by Red Shea on lead guitar and Rick Haynes on bass, he also mixed old favorites like "I'm Not Sayin'" and ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
11 view cover	Cowboys & Englishmen (1982) more music like this by Poco Merely a shadow of their former selves, Poco seems to have lost their way. This album includes covers of Gordon Lightfoot's "Ribbon of Darkness," and J.J. Cale's "Cajun Moon," and The Everly Brothers' "The Price of Love." James Chrispell, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.78! new only from $17.58!
12 view cover	Super Hits (1995) more music like this by Marty Robbins Super Hits collects ten tracks recorded during Marty Robbins' tenure with Columbia Records in the late '60s and early '70s including the original versions of "El Paso," "Devil Woman," "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife," and "El Paso City." This collection is a good bargain for the budget-conscious, but does not feature any of his hits from the '50s. ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $4.29!
13 view cover	Mac Wiseman Sings Gordon Lightfoot (1979) more music like this by Mac Wiseman A classic of bluegrass and country crossover, 1977's Mac Wiseman Sings Gordon Lightfoot masterfully matches Wiseman's famous country croon with Lightfoot's old-time country-folk tunes, all with a great backing band including Eddie Adcock on banjo and Clay Smith on acoustic guitar. Wiseman has a real knack for combining down-home flavor with ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
14 view cover	Beautiful: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Virtually all of the 15 artists pitching in on this Lightfoot tribute are Canadian, Maria Muldaur being the notable exception. Otherwise, the roster mixes some Canadian, or at any rate Canadian-based (in Jesse Winchester's case), icons like Cowboy Junkies, Bruce Cockburn, and Murray McLauchlan; more mid-level acts like Blue Rodeo, Ron Sexsmith, ... see all copies from $4.58! new only from $11.00!

16 view cover	Grande Ole Opry: Marty Robbins (2007) more music like this by Marty Robbins Marty Robbins was the last performer to play in the Grande Ole Opry's famous historic Ryman Auditorium when he appeared there in March of 1974 (conversely, a week later he was the first performer to play the new Opry), and while it would be presumptuous to place too much significance on that appearance, it is fitting that Robbins, of all of ... see all copies from $9.67! new only from $9.67!

18	Songbook (1985) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot see all copies from $52.48! new only from $52.48!
19 view cover	Folk Essentials (1995) more music like this by Various Artists CEMA Special Markets' Folk Essentials might not take its "folk" genre too literally, but it's an entertaining collection nonetheless. There's a world of difference between Leadbelly ("Rock Island Line") and the Stone Poneys ("Different Drum"), but they're here, along with the Kingston Trio ("Tom Dooley"), Burl Ives ("The Irish Rover"), Fred Neil ( ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
20 view cover	Singer Songwriter (2001) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot EMI's Gordon Lightfoot Singer Songwriter collection features 14 tunes from his lucrative late-'60s United Artists period. Lightfoot classics like "Rich Man's Spiritual," "Ribbon of Darkness," and the epic "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" spotlight the impeccable playing and cool delivery of this perfectionist folk hero. Lesser-known songs, such as ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $5.45!
21 view cover	The Story of My Life: The Best of Marty Robbins (1996) more music like this by Marty Robbins This 18-track compilation covering the first half of Marty Robbins' recording career is almost an exact duplication of a chronological list of Robbins' biggest country hit singles of the period, the only exception being "I Can't Quit Her (I've Gone Too Far)," and which, while a Top Ten entry, was not as big a hit as "She Was Only Seventeen (He Was ... see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!
