Fess: The Professor Longhair Anthology

Fess: The Professor Longhair Anthology (1993) more music like this

by Professor Longhair

The rhumba-rocking rhythms of Roy "Professor Longhair" Byrd live on throughout Rhino's 40-track retrospective of the New Orleans icon's amazing legacy. Most of the seminal stuff arrives early on: "Bald Head," the rollicking ode cut for Mercury in 1950, is followed by a raft of classics from his 1949 and 1953 Atlantic dates ("Tipitina," "Ball the ...

Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II

Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ...

50th Anniversary Collection

50th Anniversary Collection (1990) more music like this

by The Andrews Sisters

The first of a very good two-volume collection of some of the Andrews Sisters' best work, this 16-song CD was more than essential at the time of its release, mostly due to the presence of several numbers that hadn't been heard in decades: "Pagan Love Song," "Shoo Shoo Baby," "Bounce Me Brother With a Solid Four," "Gimme Some Skin My Friend," their ...

Their All-Time Greatest Hits (1994) more music like this

by The Andrews Sisters

In some ways, this 46-song double-CD compilation is a brilliantly conceived and executed overview of the Andrews Sisters' career on Decca Records from 1939 until 1950. The collection is remastered in superb sound with surprising presence and vivid detail, the material is priceless, and only a 20-bit digital treatment is likely to make it any ...

All-Time Favorites is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of the Andrews Sisters' best-known material, and while there are some essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler featuring such hits as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time," "Rum and Coca Cola," "The Beer Barrel Polka" and "Don ...

Capitol Collectors Series (1991) more music like this

by The Andrews Sisters

Twenty-five Andrews Sisters tracks dating mostly from October 1956, after the trio reformed following Patty Andrews' attempt at a solo career. On signing them, Capitol Records got the trio to do new versions of their classic Decca hits for the LP The Andrews Sisters in Hi-Fi. The effort was a worthy one, as the trio still sang splendidly, and with ...

Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge (1991) more music like this

by Professor Longhair

Some of the earliest sides from Longhair's rediscovery period (1971-72), featuring a lot of tunes inexorably associated with him through previous versions and a few ("Jambalaya," "Sick and Tired") that weren't. An added bonus is the magical presence of guitarist Snooks Eaglin, whose approach is every bit as singular as the Professor's was. Bill ...

The Ultimate Collection (1999) more music like this

by The Andrews Sisters

It's impossible, even at 26 tracks, for a single-disc collection to comprehensively cover the career of the Andrews Sisters, who charted an astounding 113 singles during their Decca years from the late '30s through the early '50s. This release hits the obvious high points, but also includes tracks like "Scrub Me Mama With a Boogie Beat," which, ...

In the Mood With (2002) more music like this

In the Mood With Vaughn Monroe encompasses several of the bandleader's sweet light pop arrangements of familiar songs, including "There! I've Said It Again," "Ballerina," "Rum and Coca-Cola," and "The Trolley Song." Originally recorded for RCA Records in the '60s, these ten tracks are far from a perfect Vaughn Monroe retrospective, but this CD is ...

Your Hit Parade: Golden Memories collects some of the most nostalgic pop hits of the 1950s, including Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa," the Pied Pipers' "Dreams," Kay Starr's "Wheel of Fortune," and Les Paul and Mary Ford's "How High the Moon."
