1	Ray Charles Sings for America (2002) more music like this by Ray Charles The theme of this collection is, in large part, songs of patriotism, about specific American places, or testaments to the American spirit. Still, you do get the sense that the concept's rather vague, or at least has been applied pretty liberally in order to snag 20 songs that could fill up a collection to appeal to the national mood at the time of ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
2	The Best of Randy Newman (2001) more music like this by Randy Newman Randy Newman has been beloved of critics, record geeks, and music fans for years, so much so that Rhino's 2001 compilation The Best of Randy Newman may seem like a case of preaching to the converted, at least to those who worship Newman. After all, anybody who's been paying attention realizes his sly genius, not just as a songwriter, but as a ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $8.71!
3	The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this by Randy Newman Between 1977 and 1988, Randy Newman seemed bound and determined to prove he could be a pop star, which is no small task when your voice is froggy, wear glasses, and your favorite themes are racism and insensitivity. While Newman managed to make some very good albums during that span of time -- most notably 1983's Trouble in Paradise -- his desire ... see all copies from $14.70! new only from $14.70!
4	Sonny & Brownie (1973) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee In a way, this is the veteran duo's version of Fathers and Sons, a meeting of old black bluesmen with young white admirers that Muddy Waters and Otis Spann cut with Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield. John Mayall and John Hammond, Jr. are among the "youngsters" on this powerful statement that includes a definitive version of Randy Newman's ... see all copies from $3.89!
5	Ultimate Collection (2004) more music like this by Joe Cocker Hip-O's Joe Cocker Ultimate Collection contains 20 original tracks spanning the gruff-voiced singer's 30-plus years of recordings for A&M, MCA, Island, Capitol, and Sony Records. While a few favorites have been left out ("Put Out the Light," "High Time We Went," and "Jamaica Say You Will"), you can't argue with "Delta Lady," "You Are So Beautiful, ... see all copies from $10.21! new only from $10.21!
6	As Long as I'm Singing: The Bobby Darin Collection (1995) more music like this by Bobby Darin Bobby Darin was a diverse performer, singing everything from pop and rock to Broadway and swing tunes, as well as a selection of folk and country for good measure. Darin never was lacking in ambition, trying more styles than most other pop singers. That doesn't mean he was consistent, as the four-disc box set As Long as I'm Singing: The Bobby ... see all copies from $52.90! new only from $52.90!
7	Don't Cry Now (1973) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt Don't Cry Now expanded the pop/rock concessions of Linda Ronstadt, and the result was the singer's first genuine hit record, peaking at number 45 on the charts. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.24! new only from $11.23!
8	Lonely at the Top: The Best of Randy Newman (1998) more music like this by Randy Newman From a chart standpoint, Randy Newman's only Top 40 hit came in the form of 1977's "Short People, which reached the number two spot, backed by the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmit, J.D. Souther, and Glenn Frey. Actually, it's the music of Newman's career that didn't chart that made him one of the most renowned songwriters of the modern era. Lonely at the ... see all copies from $5.90! new only from $7.64!
9	Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman (1998) more music like this by Randy Newman Throughout his entire career, Randy Newman was at the fringes of popular music. He peeked through the curtains every so often, whether it was in the form of a film composer or a novelty hitmaker, but he always remained a cult act, albeit one with enormous influence and respect. He had enough fans (particularly those in the industry) to keep a ... see all copies from $39.96! new only from $52.48!
10	The Chess Box (2000) more music like this by Etta James Etta James is one of the towering figures of the blues, the foremost female blues vocalist of the second half of the 20th century, and the foundation of her legacy is her recordings for Chess Records in the '60s. Despite her reputation and enduring popularity, Etta didn't receive a box set retrospective between 1988 and 1990, the time when Chess ... see all copies from $37.35! new only from $37.35!
11 view cover	Gold (2006) more music like this by Joe Cocker Hip-O's double-disc Joe Cocker set Gold unites the tracks on 2004's single-disc Ultimate Collection with 16 favorites that had been left off that package due to space restrictions. With that situation corrected, these original recordings span the singer's 30-plus years by not only including all the obvious favorites from his A&M days ("Feelin' ... see all copies from $18.76! new only from $18.76!
12 view cover	Personal Best: The Harry Nilsson Anthology (1995) more music like this by Harry Nilsson Spanning two discs, Personal Best: The Harry Nilsson Anthology is a comprehensive overview of Nilsson's varied career, including all of the hits and many significant album tracks, yet it offers too much material for the casual fan, who would be better served by All-Time Greatest Hits. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.68! new only from $14.68!
13 view cover	The Rose and the Briar: Death, Love and Liberty in American Ballads (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Assembled by Sean Wilents and Greil Marcus to accompany the book of the same title, The Rose and the Briar: Death, Love and Liberty in American Ballads is organized around the central question, "What does the American ballad say about America?" Well, judging from the selections collected, it would appear that America (no surprise here) is most ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
14 view cover	Sail Away (1972) more music like this by Randy Newman On his third studio album, Randy Newman found a middle ground between the heavily orchestrated pop of his debut and the more stripped-down, rock-oriented approach of 12 Songs, and managed to bring new strength to both sides of his musical personality in the process. The title track, which Newman has described as a sort of commercial jingle written ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $8.32!
15 view cover	From Croydon to Cuba: An Anthology (2005) more music like this by Kirsty MacColl Drawing from fewer albums (but more labels) than one might ever have expected, Kirsty MacColl's twenty-year career spreads out over three discs, consolidating her growing reputation as the finest English songwriter of her generation; confirming her status as one of the finest singers, as well, and leaving the listener aghast at the foul injustice ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $31.88!
16 view cover	I Heard It on NPR: Singers, Songs and Sessions (2005) more music like this by Various Artists National Public Radio continues its safe -- but insightful -- I Heard it on NPR series with Singers, Songs and Sessions, a collection of performances from some of the genre's finest established and up-and-coming artists. Recorded live in NPR's Studio 4A, each track is impeccably produced and exquisitely played, leaving little room for ... see all copies from $9.24! new only from $9.24!
17 view cover	Sail Away: The Songs of Randy Newman (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Hailed by critics, loved and revered by songwriters and musicians, Randy Newman still polarizes the public. Maybe it's the voice, maybe it's the heavy irony (maybe it's "Short People"), but folks seem to either love him or hate him. Perhaps that's why Sugar Hill Records felt the need to dip into its pool of top-notch roots artists and put together ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.00!

20 view cover	Darin 1936-1973 (1974) more music like this by Bobby Darin Motown released Darin 1936-1973 two months after the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's death in December of 1973. The ten-track LP (and second on Motown) contains some rare Bobby Darin material. Because of its purpose (grieving), this is one of the few depressing Bobby Darin records, lacking the hopeful romance and joyful concepts that ... see all copies from $8.00!

22 view cover	The Wizard of Is (2004) more music like this by Pearls Before Swine San Francisco's Water Records has certainly done right by Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine. Not only has the label reissued its Warner Bros. recordings in their entirety individually and as a box set, it has now come up with this 44-track, two-disc collection of rarities and live recordings from 1967-1976. This is a mighty artifact indeed. The ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $16.88!

24 view cover	I Heard It on NPR: Down to the Roots/Singers, Songs & Sessions/One World Many Voices (2005) more music like this by Various Artists There have been six installments in the I Heard It on NPR series to date, three of which -- "Down to the Roots," "Singers, Songs & Sessions," and "One World Many Voices" -- are included in this box set. There are several gems on each of these albums, but what you have here is in effect an extended sampler, and the safe, quaint tone that dominates ... see all copies from $33.07! new only from $33.07!
25	Live: Odeon [video] (1983) more music like this by Randy Newman Randy Newman's Live: Odeon dates from 1983 as a video release, originally from RCA/Columbia (distant predecessor to Columbia-TriStar), and it never did make it to laser disc, jumping directly to DVD courtesy of Rhino Records in 2001. And it shows none of its age, remastered in gorgeous detail and as impressive for sound as it is for picture -- ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $20.00!
