2	Count Basie Swings -- Joe Williams Sings (1955) more music like this by Count Basie with Joe Williams Joe Williams' debut as the featured vocalist in Count Basie's band was one of those landmark moments that even savvy observers don't fully appreciate when it occurs, then realize years later how momentous an event they witnessed. Williams brought a different presence to the great Basie orchestra than the one Jimmy Rushing provided; he couldn't ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $11.26!
3	The Best of Joe Williams: The Roulette, Solid State & Blue Note Years (1997) more music like this by Joe Williams The Best of Joe Williams: The Roulette, Solid State & Blue Note Years is an excellent sampler of Williams' work for Roulette and Solid State, providing a terrific overview of Williams' early records.

4	Just for a Thrill (2005) more music like this by Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings Ever since leaving the Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman has been keeping a low profile -- which isn't quite the same thing as keeping quiet. About a decade after quitting the world's greatest rock & roll band, he formed the Rhythm Kings, a loose collective of friends, pros, and all-stars, all gathered to play the blues, soul, R&B, and old-time rock & ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $14.77!
5	Breakfast Dance and Barbecue [Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this by Count Basie The Count Basie Orchestra is heard on this album playing live at a disc-jockey convention in Miami. Their first of three sets took place at 2 a.m. but the late hour if anything kept the band loose. Most of the selections on this record were not recorded during that era, including fine charts on "In a Mellow Tone" and "Moten Swing." [The reissue ... see all copies from $10.33! new only from $10.33!
6	Rhythm Kings Live (2005) more music like this by Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings Almost 70 years old by 2005, former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman continued to rock & roll -- albeit with a lower profile -- as leader of the Rhythm Kings. And it was that same year that Wyman and cohorts issued a live set, Rhythm Kings Live. Wyman is joined by a stellar supporting cast -- including one of rock's most underrated guitarists, ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!

8	Every Day: The Best of the Verve Years (1993) more music like this by Joe Williams In effect, this double-disc set, released in anticipation of Joe Williams' 75th birthday, is two compilation albums in one. The first CD, containing material recorded between 1955 and 1957, presents the artist singing with Count Basie and His Orchestra at the start of Williams' national career, when he and Basie scored a major R&B hit with the ... see all copies from $19.88! new only from $19.88!
9	Testament: The Complete Slash Recordings (1981-1985) (2002) more music like this by The Blasters "We got the Louisiana boogie and the Delta blues/We got country swing and rockabilly, too/We got jazz, country western, and Chicago blues/It's the greatest music that you ever knew." Dave Alvin was writing about "American Music" in his song of the same name when he penned those lines, but while he would never be quite so arrogant as to say so ... see all copies from $33.13! new only from $33.13!

11 view cover	At Newport '63/Jump for Joy (1997) more music like this by Joe Williams This Collectables single-disc collects two very good albums Joe Williams recorded for RCA from the early '60s. While the presentation of this collection could have been better -- the packaging looks a little cheap and the sound isn't all it could have been -- both of these records are quite good and this is a good way to collect both records on ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
12 view cover	Malcolm X [Original Soundtrack] (1992) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Co-produced by Spike Lee and Quincy Jones, and released on Jones' label, the soundtrack to Lee's Malcolm X includes a number of artists contemporary to Malcolm X's movement, as well as his growing-up years, to some degree. The album is primarily notable for the quality of the jazz presented (Lionel Hampton's arguably best-known song, Billie ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Jumpin' with Joe: The Complete Aladdin & Imperial Recordings (1994) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Big Joe Turner's remarkable recordings for Atlantic and Decca have been frequently reissued and evaluated. But his singles for other labels haven't gotten similar treatment, which makes this 18-cut single-disc anthology of Aladdin and Imperial material so welcome. These were recorded in the late '40s and early '50s and were closer to the Kansas ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $14.00!
14 view cover	The Definitive Joe Williams (2002) more music like this by Joe Williams The Definitive Joe Williams takes a look back at the illustrious career of one of the greatest singers in the history of music. The 19 tracks are drawn from his two stints recording for Verve and his prolific stay with Roulette.

15 view cover	A Swingin' Night at Birdland (1962) more music like this by Joe Williams In 1961, after six years as one of the main attractions of Count Basie's orchestra, Williams (with Basie's blessing) went out on his own. One of his first sessions was this live recording, cut at Birdland with a strong quintet that featured trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and Jimmy Forrest on tenor. Williams mostly sings standards and ballads, but ... see all copies from $4.45! new only from $10.73!
16 view cover	Black and Blue/Tobacco Road (2006) more music like this by Lou Rawls Black and Blue and Tobacco Road were Lou Rawls' third and fourth records for Capitol cut in 1962 and 1963, respectively. The powers that be at the label made the decision to send Rawls into the studio with a swinging big band under the direction of Onzy Matthews and featuring some real heavyweights like saxophonists Curtis Amy, Teddy Edwards, and ... see all copies from $6.38! new only from $14.22!
17 view cover	Joe Williams' Finest Hour (2001) more music like this by Joe Williams This is basically the budget version of the more comprehensive Every Day: The Best of the Verve Years anthology. While Verve could have easily compiled a better 60 minutes by sticking to Williams' '50s recordings with Count Basie, Joe Williams' Finest Hour shoots for the broader picture, from Williams' pre-Basie big-band work from the late '40s to ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $9.27!
18 view cover	The Best of the Blues (1963) more music like this by Jimmy Reed see all copies from $15.00!
19 view cover	Comin' Right at Ya/Texas Gold (2000) more music like this by Asleep at the Wheel In 2000, Koch reissued Asleep at the Wheel's 1973 debut, Comin' Right at Ya, and 1975's Texas Gold, the band's third album, as a CD two-fer. While the package misses Asleep's 1974 album for Epic (different label, different rights; the two here are from EMI and Capitol, respectively), these two albums nevertheless make good companion pieces, since ... see all copies from $8.53! new only from $8.53!

22 view cover	Soul Believer (1978) more music like this by Milt Jackson As vibraphonist Milt Jackson relates in the liner notes of this CD, he was a singer before he ever played vibes. This is one of his very few vocal albums and Jackson (who also takes some solos) is reasonably effective, displaying a personable voice and a gentle swing in his style. The backup utilizes synthesizers on three of the ten selections (a ... see all copies from $9.90!
23 view cover	The Stardust Collection (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The Stardust Collection is a double-disc set (priced as a single) that offers over 30 highlights from the Stardust vaults.

24 view cover	You Are There: Songs from My Father (2006) more music like this by Sarah Partridge Sarah Partridge dedicated her You Are There CD to her late father. She performs songs that he loved, tunes he might have loved, and numbers that she wished she could have sung for him. Some of the performances are quite touching, most noticeably "My Buddy" and "We'll Be Together Again," but this is more a celebration of his life and of Partridge's ... see all copies from $5.17! new only from $5.17!
