1	The Little Willies (2006) more music like this by The Little Willies The Little Willies could be called a supergroup if they had more than one star in their lineup. Instead, the quintet is a group of five New York musicians -- highlighted by pianist/vocalist Norah Jones, but also featuring her regular bassist Lee Alexander, guitarist/vocalist Richard Julian, guitarist Jim Campilongo, and drummer Dan Rieser -- who ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.00!
2	The Essential Gene Autry (2005) more music like this by Gene Autry This double-CD Gene Autry compilation, though impressive on a sonic level, and reasonably full, isn't quite perfect. Oh, it covers all of the basics and even gives some play to aspects of Autry such as his blues singing, represented by "Dallas County Jail Blues" and "T.B. Blues," that usually isn't familiar to listeners whose knowledge is limited ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
3	Ride With Bob (1999) more music like this by Asleep at the Wheel Asleep at the Wheel devoted its entire career to Western swing, which is commonly known as the music Bob Wills created. They became the standard bearers for the genre, making sure that it was still an integral part of the country music mainstream. Since their entire career feels like a living monument to Wills, it almost seems unnecessary for them ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $10.96!
4	Best of Carl Smith (1991) more music like this by Carl Smith Best of Carl Smith is a 12-track budget-priced collection that features some of his biggest late-'70s hits, including "Roly Poly," "If You Don't, Somebody Else Will," "A Way with Words," "Show Me a Brick Wall," "This Kinda Love Ain't Meant for Sunday School," "The Way I Lose My Mind," and "This Lady Loving Me." Although this isn't a bad budget ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $7.03!
5	Anthology 1935-1973 (1991) more music like this by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys The only comprehensive retrospective of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, the double-disc set Anthology 1935-1973 contains material from every label the Playboys recorded for and features the hit version of each of Wills' most famous songs, including "Right or Wrong," "Time Changes Everything," "Corrine, Corrina," "New San Antonio Rose," "Take Me ... see all copies from $12.91! new only from $28.03!
6	Take Me Back to Tulsa [Proper Box] (2002) more music like this by Bob Wills Everyone who's ever explored Western swing knows that Bob Wills' music was revolutionary, but any fan who hasn't listened to the music on disc one of this collection probably doesn't realize how revolutionary it really was. Most modern retrospectives concentrate on music that Wills made after his signature sound was firmly established, but the ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
7	The King of Western Swing: 25 Hits (1935-1945) (1998) more music like this by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys As singer, fiddler, and bandleader of the Texas Playboys, Bob Wills played the same fatherly role to western swing that Bill Monroe did to bluegrass. No one is sure if he invented the music itself, but it's clear that the recordings of his Texas Playboys have since come to define the genre. As a musical hybrid, western swing introduced blues and ... see all copies from $12.89!
8	Legends of Country Music (2006) more music like this by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys That Bob Wills was one of the architects of American music is a given, but his particular creation -- he didn't name it Western swing, but that's what it came to be called -- did not arise from the dust. Wills, refusing to be restricted, subsumed virtually every genre available to him at the time, from blues to big band, popular song to old-timey, ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $35.00!
9	Legends of Country Music: The Best of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys (2006) more music like this by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys As is often the case nowadays, not long after Legacy released the definitive Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys four-disc, 105-track box set Legends of Country Music, the label released a single-disc, 18-track summary of that set, Legends of Country Music: The Best of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Most of Wills' key recordings are here, like "New ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
10	Back to the Future Now - Live at Arizona Charlie's (1997) more music like this by Asleep at the Wheel "Why another live record?" asks bandleader Ray Benson in his liner notes to Asleep At The Wheel's fourth concert disc, and he has two answers, both valid. First, with hundreds of gigs per year, Asleep At The Wheel is essentially a live band, and live records reflect that. Second, Benson has cooked up a reunion performance in which original ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.11!
11 view cover	Live from Austin, TX (2006) more music like this by Asleep at the Wheel What more can you ask for? Asleep at the Wheel playing on Austin City Limits running through a smoking program of rocking, strolling Western swing tunes -- with special guests like Eldon Shamblin, Johnny Gimble, Leon Rausch, and Herb Remington no less. Asleep at the Wheel have performed on Austin City Limits numerous times -- including the very ... see all copies from $7.38! new only from $11.44!
12 view cover	Salute the Majesty of Bob Wills (1998) more music like this by The Pine Valley Cosmonauts The full title, Salute the Majesty of Bob Wills: King of Western Swing, Pioneer, Traditionalist, Avant-Gardist, Magician, says it all -- despite their loose, freewheeling attitude, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts truly love and admire Wills' music, and each of these 19 covers evokes his brilliance with genuine reverence. Equally impressive is the guest ... see all copies from $5.90! new only from $10.52!
13 view cover	Home (2000) more music like this by Jim Reeves see all copies from $8.21! new only from $8.21!
14 view cover	San Antonio Rose (1962) more music like this by Ray Price Fans of Ray Price or Bob Wills won't want to miss the Price's 1961 album, San Antonio Rose: A Tribute to the Great Bob Wills. Price, who acknowledged Wills as a primary influence, became the first of many to devote an album to covering the songs of the renowned master of Southwestern dance music. Price recorded the album in a nine-hour period, ... see all copies from $4.00!
15 view cover	Radio Days, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Jim Reeves and Friends If you are a country music fan, especially classic country music fan, than you no doubt have a strong opinion on Jim Reeves. He's either the Caruso of the genre or a pop sellout who brought about the ruin of the original, raw honky-tonk music, along with Chet Atkins, in favor of the countrypolitan sound. For those in the latter group, one listen ... see all copies from $89.95! new only from $89.95!
16 view cover	San Antonio Rose [Rhino] (1997) more music like this by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys At a glance, San Antonio Rose looks like a typically cruddy budget collection, but it's really a lot more interesting than it seems, for these tracks comprise what are arguably the most essential parts of Rhino's Tiffany Transcriptions series, and as such may be considered by some as the definitive Bob Wills sampler. Of course, the best part about ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
17	Have I Told You Lately That I Love You? [1985 RCA] (1985) more music like this by Jim Reeves The album that was in the charts when Jim Reeves' plane went down on July 31, 1964, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You? is a solid slice of relatively pure country, largely free of the "countrypolitan" strings and choirs that were coming into fashion by 1964 and which would usually be dubbed onto Reeves' posthumous hits for the rest of the ... see all copies from $2.34! new only from $11.85!
18 view cover	It's Been Rough and Rocky Travelin' (2003) more music like this by Willie Nelson see all copies from $103.06! new only from $103.06!
19 view cover	Good Old Country Music (1963) more music like this by The Sons of the Pioneers A shorter, budget-priced version of 1957's One Man's Songs. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.50!
20 view cover	Faded Love [Catfish] (2001) more music like this by Bob Wills Bob Wills may be the king of Western swing, but he's perhaps less well-known than other pivotal country music figures like Hank Williams or Jimmie Rodgers. Unlike Williams and Rodgers, he was a bandleader, not a front-and-center singer. The Texas Playboys were as likely to play an instrumental as a song, and when they did play a song, Tommy Duncan ... see all copies from $5.00!
21 view cover	Stranger Than Fiction (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The two-disc Stranger than Fiction assembles tracks sung by dozens of best-selling authors like Norman Mailer, Stephen King, Dave Barry and Maya Angelou, and yes, it's just as bad as you might expect. Backed by the Don't Quit Your Day Job house band -- a group including the likes of Warren Zevon and Jerry Jeff Walker -- the writers dismantle rock ... see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	Killer Country B Side (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.55! new only from $15.55!
23 view cover	Radio Days, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Jim Reeves Radio transcriptions are recordings created expressly for radio broadcast. They were once the prevailing form of pre-recorded music on radio -- cut in studios, pressed on high-fidelity transcription discs, and distributed by subscription to radio stations. The programs, typically 15 minutes in length, gave the on-air personalities a break and ... see all copies from $101.26! new only from $101.26!
24 view cover	Back to Back (2001) more music like this by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys/Asleep at the Wheel see all copies from $4.65! new only from $4.65!
